Relay – New Relays in the 1979 Porsche 911 Targa

As part of the wiring clean-up on the 1979 Porsche 911, the Bridge Classic Cars team have replaced a set of relays in the classic aircooled 911.
The team noticed the relays which control the horn on the 911 were intermittently working, so new ones were placed on order and fitted to the car as part of the wiring work the team have been doing to the car before it heads to its new home.
On test, all was working on the car after the replacements were fitted.

Our technician Jon has been carrying on with getting all the wiring of the 1979 Porsche 911 Targa finished up and ready to head off to its new home.
He has wired up the new washer pump (along with the new wipers) and tested them to make sure everything worked correctly and they cleared the screen properly.
Then, Jon could turn his attention to some of the lighting system. The team noted that the signal light for the fog lights wasn’t working correctly, so Jon carried out a small wiring repair to the circuit before testing it and making sure it worked correctly for the new owner.

Another classic aircooled Porsche has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop! This time it is a 1981 Porsche 911SC in at our Suffolk HQ.
This car has come in for our technicians to investigate a brake issue the car has developed as well as some smaller bits and pieces of work on the interior and exterior/paintwork. So, the team will begin with the investigation into the brakes and report back to the customer on their findings.
Keep an eye out on the Bridge Classic Cars news page for more updates on the 1981 Porsche 911SC very soon.
The Next Phase – Masking Up and First Coat of Primer on the 1965 Porsche 912
February 7, 2022
The wonderful 1965 Porsche 912 that is in the Bridge Classic Cars in-house paint and body shop at our Suffolk HQ has been being worked on by our amazing painter, Alan.
Alan has been working on getting the car prepared for the beginning of its bodywork journey. The first step was to get the car all the way back to bare metal, and now the team have begun the second phase of its story with Bridge Classic Cars. The car is now in epoxy primer.
The car needed to be put into primer before its bodywork begins as it’s used as a guide coat. The majority of this will actually be removed from the car. The paint and body team then use it to find any places where the bodyshell will need adjustment or tweaking to make the entire car work and flow in terms of its lines and curves.
After Alan has prepared the car for primer, he began the delicate work of masking up the car. This is just as important as the paint itself. Then, after cleaning down the bare metal, Alan began laying down the coats of primer.
We’re excited to show you the next chapter for the 1965 Porsche 912 with Bridge Classic Cars.
