Ford RS2000 Repairs

This gorgeous Ford Escort RS2000 has been into our workshop for a few repairs.

The gear lever locating bush was broken and needed replacing. Pictured above.

Under braking the car was pulling to one side so we investigated the brakes.

We removed the brake pistons to reveal the seals were rotten. We cleaned the pistons and replaced the seals, refitted them and bled the brakes.

1957 Mercedes 190SL In The Engine Shop

Ady, Bridge Classic Cars’ engine specialist has been working on one of the last pieces of our 190SL restoration.

The old flywheel had some cracks in the metal so we have replaced with a bespoke machined steel flywheel. Along with the cracks, the flywheel teeth had signs of excessive wear. The old starter motor was catching the teeth and wearing them away. At this stage we have also fitted a new clutch.

We’re looking forward to hearing this stunning 190SL fire back into life very soon.
