Busy busy busy!
The workshops are full to bursting point with everyone doing their bit to get some cars out for the weekend. Had to tell the girls in the office that we are closing the diary on any new work for a month or so in an attempt to clear some backlog. Apologies in advance to anyone trying to get through for advise in the next couple of weeks, but it might be difficult to get to talk to anyone in the workshop.
Karl is finishing off a MK1/V Spitty that's having loads done prior to its owner driving down to the Le-man Classic. So far its had a diff, rear spring, door handles and locks sorted, and today he MOT'd it and sorted out a O/D fault. Oh and in amongst that lot he rebuilt a Stromberg for a guy in our shop, and changed a J type solenoid on a visiting Herald, busy bloke.
Daz the diff, is doing a run of 3.89's, but he managed to fit in rebuilding a 3.45 for a customer with a 2.5S saloon that had been purchased at vast expense from another trader, hmm, not good!
Daz
Fudge finally got around to putting top coat on that GT4, looks good, and with today's decent temperature it soon hardened, which means he can flat and polish it tomorrow.
GT4
I have been cracking on with an insurance job on Fay Presto's (a magician!) 13/60 convertible. It came in with a badly bent bonnet, front valance, chassis front bar and extensions. Bit of a blast from the past for me, as I did a chassis off total rebuild on this car nearly 10 years ago, its nice to see its held up well, apart from the dents.
Fay Presto's Herald
Mick is doing his best to catch up with the gearbox, overdrive conversion backlog, and John has left us for a month or two for his summer sabbatical to his farm in Ireland.
