Fitting new TR6 windscreen

A new windscreen is required on our 1973 Triumph TR6 as the sun’s reflections are showing up all the imperfections in the existing screen. Slight scratches and a glaring fog is visible when the sun is shining so a new screen is being fitted. Whilst doing so we are replacing the existing rubbers and surround and as we have gone to this much effort we thought it was also best to freshen up the screen surround and brighten up the dull black finish. This finish, next to the stealth like new hood will look incredible!

The next major steps will be to complete wiring up the car and prepare the interior for Kath and Brian in the Trim Shop to install interior trim.

1994 Mini Mayfair respray

Visiting our workshops today we have our 1994 Mini Mayfair. Having been painted in 2010 the car started to suffer from a few rust issues which the customer attempted to tackle himself. The corroded areas seem to have been kept under control but has left a lot of imperfections in the paint. These are mainly due to the lacquer not blending well with the original paintwork.

The car will require a full repaint from the roof down so we will look . We will await instruction from the customer.
