Sorry no recent updates on projects .. but that’s about to change ..
lots has been going on behind the scenes.. too much to be honest..
public apology time …
we got in a bit of a mess trying to keep everyone happy with several cars but doing a bit on each accomplishments nothing ..
So .. next couple of weeks are dedicated to finishing Bexley Herald ..
Taken far too long .. we had the car in for a recommission , welding and paint .. struck a deal on cost .. but decided to do a proper nice job for Owners Mum really ..was her husband’s car and wanted her to get the car back good as new .. We basically stripped the car rite down ( not body off ) and started work ..finding the car to be in a lot worse state after pulling filler and castrol GTX cans as repairs out of everywhere..
We kept to the Estimate then I fell behind on work due to health reasons which hurt us in many ways as it’s only Me and my partner doing the restoration work .. we farm nothing out so it does take time unfortunately..
Long story short we’ve honoured the estimate cost but at a cost to ourselves..
Now we’re back up to speed Bexley will be the first car finished in list of customer cars in Coventry and wales.
Can’t wait to see the owners face when it’s delivered back soon .
The next cars will be
Dave Thomas Mk1 2000
Jim Chalmers GT6
With smaller jobs going on too as they pay the bills ( restoration work always ends up costing us time )

*Jim Chalmers MK3 GT6
