Continue to fit radiator. Fit intake pipes and arch liners, pipe up and secure. Refill cooling system with vacuum fill . Charge battery. Refit and torque wheels.

Refit bonnet. Run up and select all gears. Requires top up with correct oil. Order oil for auto box.

Run up on ramp and select each gear in turn for approx 5 seconds. Warm up to 35 degrees and put in park with engine idling. Raise in air and check gearbox level. Top up accordingly until fluid comes out. Refit bung and clean area. Carry out road test, all seems ok.

Jonn has been fitting the fans to the new radiator of our 2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage. He cleaned the pipe flanges before dropping the radiator into position. The pipes were then aligned and the transmission pipes were connected.

Repairing DB7 Ceiling Cloth

Classic car technician Brian has been busy repairing the ceiling cloth of a 2001 Aston Martin DB7.

After removing the old glue from the headliner board and material, Brian repaired the damaged areas of the board.

He then glued the new foam to the headliner board and cut out all the holes required before fitting the new material.

End Of The Road For DB7 Wheels

We recently sent off our Aston Martin DB7 Magnesium wheels to Wheel Care to be refurbished, however, we have been informed that the wheels may be too far gone to service and recover, and it made more sense to source new wheels.

Magnesium is a porous metal which means if the quality of them has already degraded. By blasting them, you risk uncovering much more than what looks to be on the surface. As you can see from our wheels, with the paint removed we are faced with the honest truth of just how much work will be involved.
