Refurbishing the front and rear suspension

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Work has commenced on the refurbishment of our 1998 BMW 840Ci front and rear suspension. The shocks are to be sent away to Poland to be completely rebuilt but whilst removing the shocks we have uncovered a few unexpected issues.

The splash shield is severely corroded on the near side which will need to be replaced.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDWc6SvVKnU” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The springs, hubs and ABS sensor now need to be removed before the set up can be sent away to Nagengast in Poland for the full rebuild.

Collecting our 1985 Mercedes SL280

This afternoon we collected our 1985 Mercedes 280SL ready for the re-commissioning project to commence.

We can already see just how beautifully original our SL is so a full restoration is certainly not required on this one.

When we arrive back at the workshops we’ll be able to see just how far we need to take this car to get her back on the road looking lovely.
