Our Transit Moving On

Lots of progress has been made with our Ford Transit MKII Tipper lately. Not only is its restoration journey going well, it now finds itself in a new home of sorts.

Now that The Classic Lounge is almost finished and ready to open, the building formerly known as The Atelier is becoming an extension of our very busy workshop.

As you can see from the photos below, our Transit looks great and will continue to look better and better as it spends more time in the new workshop.

Odd Jobs

Classic car technician Steve has been completing various tasks on our Ford Transit MKII Tipper.

The hand brake pivot bolt and rear brake load valve adjuster were both seized and had to be cut off and removed using oxygen and acetylene torch. A new hand brake pivot bolt was fabricated using a high tensile bolt.

While Steve was doing this, Mauro was painting various components of our classic Transit in the paint shop.
