Work complete on our 1933 Talbot AX65

Work is now complete on our 1933 Talbot AX65. The rear boot panel and door have been repaired and painted. The rear wing has also been blackened once again and we have carried out various sympathetic touch ups around the entire car so as to improve but not detract from the originality of the bodywork.

And thank you to the guys at Car Glass and Trim for re-manufacturing the damaged windscreen and side window.

One final task now to carry out prior to returning…a good good to get her looking even more lovely once more.

The newly rebuilt BMW shocks have arrived in the UK

Rebuilding the BMW 8 Series shocks are a very specialist skill so we called upon the experts over in Poland to help us out on this one. The results are incredible.

The Nagengast company is a Polish enterprise operating on a European wide market, which has specialized in regeneration of automotive parts for 35 years.

Main activities of the company:

  • regeneration of shock absorbers
  • regeneration of bellows (pneumatic shock absorbers)
  • regeneration of steering transmissions
  • regeneration of power-steering pumps
  • regeneration of gas springs
  • manufacture of electric spring extractor
  • sales of new, specialist parts for pneumatic and adaptive suspensions

And now we have them successfully fitted to our BMW.

 

Carrying out necessary repair work to sills

Due to a recent MOT failure we have our 1989 Ford Granada in our workshops for some necessary repair works to both the inner and outer sills.

The majority of the corrosion issues can be found on the nearside with only a little work to be carried out to the offside.
