1973 MGB GT

Raymond is working on this MGB GT at the moment.  It is having the front suspension and the rear brakes overhauled.  Yesterday the sub-frame was shot-blasted to remove the surface corrosion and allow us to check its overall condition and today Roy has been busy painting it ready for fitting up next week when the new parts arrive.

Snowed under

The blog may have been quiet for a few weeks, but here in the workshop we've been snowed under, although not literally quite yet as the first few flakes have settled in the last couple of days.



The mouse nest is just visible on the left and

the wires it has exposed are on the right



The guys have been keeping busy with various different vehicles including removing a mouse nest from an MGB GT and repairing the wiring loom it's resident decided to eat!



The nest in all its glory!








We also finished a few minor jobs on the 1964 Porsche 356C in time for its owner to drive it down to the Scottish Austin Seven AGM in New Lanark where it was much admired before being driven home to the North of Scotland.

Quick up-date

Apologies for the lack of entries over the last week or so - Sarah has been off touring the country. 
Work continues on the two Derby Bentleys as well as the Jaguar E-type and an MGB GT. 
More information will follow shortly on the individual projects.
