Ready For Sandblasting
May 22, 2023
Our Ford Transit MKII has been with classic car technicians Steve and Lydia recently as the strip-down continues.
Lydia took the covers and foams off the frames before taking the frames apart and sandblasting them. This was in preparation for Chris in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop to paint the frames. Lydia also took the covers apart as new vinyl is wanted which is being sewn to the original fabric faces.
While Lydia was working on the seats of our Transit, Steve carried on stripping the main body of the vehicle. A tool had to be made in order to remove the steering Pittman arm.
An adapted trolley was used to move the stripped Transit ready for it to be taken to the sandblasters.
Transit Strip Down
May 15, 2023
Classic car technician Steve has begun work stripping down our Ford Transit MKII Tipper.
Before the workshop team gets stuck into restoring this commercial vehicle back to its original specifications, it needs to be stripped right back so a full assessment can be made of its current condition.
Stipping a vehicle like this is a time-consuming process as parts are removed, labelled, and any work needed on each component is noted.
Steve will continue his work stripping down our transit and it will be an exciting project to see what the future holds for our Ford Transit MKII Tipper.
Restoring A Transit
May 5, 2023
A Ford Transit MKII Tipper recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. It has come to us from Jacobs Construction and it will be undergoing a total restoration to bring the vehicle back to as new condition and specifications.
As you can see from the photos below, there is a long way to go before our Transit is back up and running, but, now that work has begun, we are looking forward to seeing it progress through its restoration journey.
