🏁 Is your classic performing the way it should? 🏁

There's nothing quite like sharper throttle response, smoother power delivery and that confident feeling behind the wheel β€” and it all starts with accurate tuning.

Here at Fourways, our rolling-road calibration helps classic engines perform properly under real load, not just ticking over at idle. By fine-tuning carburettors and ignition timing together, we can improve cold starts, mid-range pull, throttle response and overall reliability β€” all while keeping the character of your car beautifully intact.

It's a careful, measured approach that suits everything from a lightly fettled road car to a more developed classic setup.

A recent tuning session showed exactly why this matters. The chart confirmed cleaner fuelling, a steadier curve and more usable performance right across the rev range β€” a stronger, more consistent result out on the road. That kind of data removes the guesswork and gives you a clear picture of what your engine is really doing. πŸ“ˆ

This 1980 Morgan 4/4 has come into us for a pre paint inspection. We gave the customer our feedback from the inspection and the next steps were discussed.
This is now here with us for a full respray. The body has been stripped down and all the exterior panels have been taken back to bare metal.

More pictures on this to follow.

πŸš—βœ¨ Ever wondered what really goes into a bare-metal respray? It's about so much more than just a fresh coat of colour!

When paint is looking tired, repairs have been layered over older work, or corrosion is quietly creeping beneath the surface, taking a car right back to bare metal reveals its true condition and gives us the perfect foundation for a finish that genuinely lasts.

Here's how we do it at Fourways πŸ‘‡

πŸ”§ We start with careful stripping and inspection, so hidden rust, poor previous repairs and weak spots can be properly identified.
πŸ”§ Any corrosion is treated or cut out as needed, metalwork is repaired to the right standard, and seams are sealed to protect the shell from future moisture.
πŸ”§ Only then does refinishing begin, with meticulous prep, precise paint matching and controlled booth spraying for an even, durable result.

For classic cars, this approach preserves the character of the vehicle while protecting it for years to come. For modern vehicles, it's often the best route to a cleaner, more consistent finish after age, wear or accident damage. 🏁

Thinking about getting your pride and joy ready for show season? Pop into our St Marys Platt workshop and we'll assess the paint, talk you through the options, and give you a clear, itemised estimate β€” no surprises, just honest advice.

β˜€οΈ Is your car ready for the summer heat? πŸš—

We all love those long summer drives but rising temperatures can put real pressure on your car's cooling system, whether you're behind the wheel of a modern daily driver or a much-loved classic.

Have you noticed any of these warning signs? πŸ‘‡
🌑️ Your temperature gauge creeping up
πŸ’§ Coolant levels dropping for no clear reason
πŸ”₯ The engine running hotter when you're stuck in traffic

If so, it might be time for a closer look and that's where we come in!

At Fourways, our Kent workshop carries out careful cooling system checks, including the radiator, thermostat, water pump and coolant condition. We also test for leaks, weak circulation and incorrect coolant mixes β€” all of which can lead to overheating and avoidable engine damage.

For classic vehicles, we take a sympathetic approach that respects original systems while improving reliability where it matters most. And for modern cars, we focus on dependable, efficient repairs to keep your everyday motoring stress-free. Whatever you drive, we'll keep you informed every step of the way. πŸ‘

πŸ› οΈ Want peace of mind before your next summer adventure? Give us a call on πŸ“ž 01622 679920 to book your cooling system check today.

Engine and box has been removed from the frame. The bed of the TK has been stripped of the old rotted incorrect wood and the bed frame has been prepped for paint.
