Not sure it’s worth spending the extra to have aluminium parts vapour blasted? Think again! Hands down the quickest and best way to make old casings look new again. A service we are happy to provide.

Really enjoying getting to grips with our new Lambda kit for tuning. Seeing some great results already.

Recently received a Beetle that had been laid up for a number of years. Unfortunately once we’d drained 20L of stale fuel out and got it running again we found a fairly major knocking noise. The car is now returning to the owner whilst they make a plan for its repair.

Something a little different. We’ve recently taken care of stripping, blasting and galvanising the trim on this Land Rover before it’s use as a wedding vehicle. Much brighter and cleaner.

Forgot to post! So this week we’ve mostly been bringing this MPI back from the brink. Covering only 50k from new, but suffering some horrific floor repairs it failed an MOT on a ‘small hole’ resulting in inner and outer sill on the passenger side. The battery box needed a repair too. We then checked over the mechanicals, changed ball joints to our preferred no shim type, new rack gaitors and a really good clean of the engine after a prolonged rocker cover leak. Now with a fresh MOT and for sale. Annoyingly only took photos of the rusty bits, and the apprentice - very demanding!

Nice little Monday job, replacing very tired ball joints for nice new Bottletop Racing Supply Co. No shim assemblies. We fit a lot of these now and they really are the way to go for anyone wanting reliability and longevity with no hassle!

Another job that if done properly years ago wouldn’t be such a task now. Inner sill bodged over original, over sill half cut off and an outer glued on! Lovely job!!

Well I have to confess we’ve been so busy that I’ve been terrible at taking any pictures of the work we’ve been doing. Here’s a couple of the cars that have visited recently. Stag for a service, check over and brake pads. Stunning 1275 GT is in for carb rebuild and tune using our lambda sensor kit.

A mixed bag summer so far weather wise, but if you need anything to keep your classic ready for the sun - give us a shout!

The usual MPI damper mount corrosion sorted. Suspension geometry done and now ready to return back to its owner near Heathrow. Collection and delivery all organised by us too!

MPI looking a little scared of the cutting disc, a very common area of corrosion for any rover model mini.
