We have been very busy on this Jaguar over the past week or so – we have removed the engine and gearbox to be sent away to be rebuilt as well as starting to strip off the original paint ready for a respray in it’s original colour.

The re-assembly on the VW Beetle is going very well. The engine is running and has been finely tuned, the electrical systems are all checked and working following some minor repairs.
We have fitted a brand new vinyl headlining and fitted the front & rear glass. Once the chrome trim has been fitted the windows will be complete.
We still have some work to do in order to finish the Beetle but it will be MOT’d and back on the road very soon!

It’s been another busy week at the workshop…
The Triumph Stag is coming along, we have cut out the rotten floor and will be replacing with new metal soon – we’ll upload some ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos when the job is complete.
We’ve got the engine fired in the VW Beetle & it’s running nicely. Next week we’ll be doing some fine tuning & setting the timing so it runs perfectly.
On the VW camper, we have blasted & painted the original wheels. They have come out great & we’ll be mounting the tyres next week. We’ve added a few photos to the project page and you can see the new wheels below:

The VW bay window camper is well on the way to completion. The engine is now in and running nicely, we are waiting for a few more parts to be delivered before we can set up and tune the engine along with installing a new gear linkage.
Below are a few photographs of the camper:

The re-assembly on the VW Beetle is going really well. The wings and doors are bolted back onto the car, the wiring has been completed and we have fitted the classic Porsche 944 seats that the customer wanted in the car:
The engine is now in & the rear lights ready to test
Once the exhaust is in & the fuel tank is installed we can fire this engine up
New chrome trim fitted, headlining should be fitted next week along with the glass
Custom seat fitting kit installed so that these Porsche 944 seats could be fitted
Not long to go now...
Next week we will be installing the headlining, glass and pop out rear windows. Now that the new tail pipes have arrived and we have cleaned out the fuel tank, we should have the engine running next week too.
The engine is installed and we have cleaned it up, fitted new tinware and installed a new distributor and carburettor. It is the original engine for the Beetle and we can’t wait to hear it run for the first time in 3 years.
