Our 1937 Vauxhall 25 Wingham Cabriolet recently arrived in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, and work has already begun on this rare but extremely eye-catching classic car.
Since it’s been in the workshop, classic car technician Mauro has been painting the underside of our Wingham as well as fitting a new exhaust system.
As well as Mauro’s work on our classic Vauxhall, Brian has been working on the boot shelf. Brian also made paper patterns for the boot floor carpet. He then moved on to making the patterns for the corner covers for the bonnet.
Brian removed the old seals on the A post-panels ready for new ones to be made. He made the new seals from vinyl and clear tubing. He glued the vinyl around the tube before stapling them to the A post-panels.
After cutting out the bonnet protection covers, Brian trial-fitted these before cutting them out of leather.
Carpet was fitted to the boot shelf and boot floor before work started on the window seals. After undoing the side window seal panels, Brian added plywood to the top section of the panel to make it thicker before recovering the side window panels.
