The DeSoto Fireflite was produced by the DeSoto Division of the Chrysler Corporation in the USA and only made between 1955 and 1960.

Below are some photos of the car:

Our next restoration project is quite modern compared to our usual classic cars but it could be argued that this Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo will become a modern classic.

We will be restoring this high performance Nissan to its former glory, more details and photos coming soon.

Below are some photos of the project so far:

It’s been a good week on the Triumph Herald restoration. We have media blasted the chassis and bulkhead as well as applying a coat of primer to protect it from rusting.

The blasting revealed some considerable damage to the chassis which must be addressed before we re-build the chassis.

Thankfully, repair panels are readily available so it looks worse than it is…

Below are some photos of this week’s progress:
