Half a 911 got delivered the other week. Depending on how the shell comes back from blaster we may need a floor too!

If you see blisters on your classic Porsche.....beware of picking them!

The Pop restoration has been shelved indefinitely as the owner sadly, and very unexpectedly died the other week. RIP Andy.

Volvo is on a bogey for underside sealing then body and paint.

One of Stuttgarts finest is in for some resto work in the new year. Stripping it now to see what panels are required. It had to be test driven first....😎
I could do with an old 911 in my life right now.
Should never have sold mine......priced out if my means now.

Whilst the 34 sedan paint issues are being addressed, interior fab work was handed over to Stu Baillie to be upholstered in Italian leather. I bent up some stainless D section for trim pieces.....leather headliner going in when body is back...

More work done on the Special.....

Long time customers project getting nearer the front of the queue. We all have different ideas of our dream car or an emotional attachment to something others won't get. This needs loads of work. Had to make a support frame so it wouldn't bend on the spit! Luckily when MG went breasts skywards he managed to get a load of new old stock panels. Full quarter panels, wings, chassis legs,bonnet,boot lid plus others. Got most of the panels to re-skin the shell.....otherwise it would be scrap. As soon as it is blasted the Volvo will be back on the spit to get underside sealer/paint.

Been making some new body panels for an Austin Special. I got louver tooling which seems to work fine in the flypress.

A bit of a photo dump to keep the page active....
Time at the workshop is reduced due to caring for my dad since mum died so I am way behind with stuff.
34 sedan was getting put together for interior work but an issue with the paint means it is coming apart again. Total nightmare. Sourced an air drier for comp and some sealing products to try in a bid to stop reoccurence.

Healey chassis is pretty much done, just doing miscellaneous stuff like fuel system and exhaust system.

Volvo 142 is almost ready to strip for sealer/stone chip then bodywork.

Stock Pop in for mild resto....would rather be modifying it but not what the customer wants.

Popson chassis done and waiting on engine/transaxle etc being painted.

Been doing some Austin 7 work. The cars are small enough to fit in dad's garage and the jobs are small enough that I can do them in what would be dead time at dads. A couple of Ulster's, a C cab van ,that came to the yard for body work, a special that is coming soon and a phantom van which I am making front panels and wings for.
