Soon to be making its way to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is our 2017 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT.
This is not only a beautiful car to look at but it has only covered 5000 miles from new! Freshly MOT’d until June 2024, this will be a very exciting addition to the collection.
Once it arrives, it will go through a thorough inspection and assessment before it goes live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions where someone will be lucky enough to win it in the near future.
After spending a bit of time in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in 2020 for some minor repairs before going into storage at The Hangar, our 2016 Ford Mustang GT is back!
This time, it’s back for a very exciting reason…it’s now a competition car that will be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Our Mustang is loud, it’s fast, and it’s an eye-catching car that will be sure to get a whole load of attention wherever it ends up. You can enter the draw to win this stunning muscle car once it goes live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website very soon.
This 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible is having a list of things done to it by Bridge Classic Cars in Suffolk, UK but next up on the jobs is a spark plug change.
Mauro, our in-house restoration technician, has been working deep in the engine bay of the Mustang. As you can see by the photos, the sparkplugs that were in the Mustang had been in there for quite some time. With that, it was decided to renew them as part of the refresh being done on the car. As with all old spark plugs, you need to be very careful as they can be quite fragile.
So, Mauro gently eased the plugs out of the cylinder head ready to be inspected. They were heavily corroded on the mounts and also the ground straps and electrodes were covered in carbon. New plugs it was for this unique muscle car. Mauro also decided to inspect and clean up the threads in the cylinder head ready for the new spark plugs.
With the new spark plugs in the car, it was just a case of getting the leads back on the car according to its firing order ready for when we first fire up the V8.
Our technician Mauro has been waiting on some parts for the 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible for some time now. These parts have all had to be sourced from the US so there is bound to be a bit of a wait for them.
The car was assessed and inspected so that all the parts could be ordered in one go but first on the list is the rear axle seals and wheel cylinders. Mauro had noted down a small leak coming from the rear axle and while the rear drums have to be removed for the axles to come out, we thought it best practice to service the rear brakes. In all, their condition was fine. The shoes had plenty of material and all the hardware looked straight and in good order.
So, Mauro decided that just the wheel cylinders would need replacement. As we got the axle out, the backing plates off the drums it was time to pull the old leaking seals out. Carefully, Mauro removed the old seals and prepped the area to receive the brand new seals. They went in perfectly.
Working back out, Mauro began to put the drums back together. As he did, he replaced the wheel cylinders and bled the system. So now, there’s just one more job to do on the back end of the Mustang…
With American V8s the first thing you notice in the engine bay is the Rocker Covers.
One of the most iconic of these is the historic ”Cobra by Ford” covers that graced the tops of some of the most legendary race and sportscar engines the American continent has ever produced.
Our 1967 Ford Mustang has got these very covers fitted on top of its small-block V8. These covers will be refinished in-house by our paint and body teams to make sure that when they go back on, they look just like, if not better, than the day they were fitted.
After Paul did inspection work on the 1967 Ford Mustang 350, one of the first things that are being done is that the steering rack is being sent off to be over-hauled, after it was found to be leaking at the seals.
Paul has been giving our 1967 Ford Mustang 350 a thorough check over and noting down any issues he does find. So far, he’s found that the wheels aren’t sitting quite right and there’s a leak coming from the underside that needs further investigation work.
We’re making the finishing touches on our Triumph Stag to make sure its competition ready. Tom has recently repaired the Rocker Cover Gasket as the old one one was leaking. Tom has also checked the valve clearances, fitted new seals for bolts and adjusted carburettors.
We’ve had another trim related enquiry from a customer who is interested in fitting these new Jaguar XJ seats into their 1971 Mustang however they’re like the seats re-designed and re-covered to match the mustang.
Our superstar marketeer Freddie put his ‘out of office’ on today and headed up to Norfolk for a track day.
Hosted by Car Chase Heroes, Freddie is spending the day in some exceptional company with a Porsche 911, a Lotus Cortina, a Ford MK1 Escort, a Jaguar E-Type, a Chevrolet Corvette, a Ford Mustang GT500, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Ferrari 348.
Freddie’s having a great day, we can’t wait for him to get back to Bridge HQ and tell us all about it. Enjoy Freddie!
Due to a small mishap in the town car park our 2016 Ford mustang GT is in our paint shop for a small repair and repaint.
