CITROEN VAN
This van had previously been taken on by another person but without the experience behind them they found it too difficult to restore. Its now in one of our workshops and work as begun on it.
LOTUS ELAN
Eventually, we have been able to book this fantastic car into the workshop. The owner has been very patient for several months as we have been unable to find the space. Keep an eye on how this project will unfold on our website.
Work on the bodywork has started while awaiting the mechanical parts
Lots of new parts have now arrived - grp work being done also.
Lotus engine was removed from car been re ringed and re shelled and then fitted back into car. Cylinder head has been converted to unleaded.
New suspension and brake parts fitted.
MG MIDGET
Being loaded ready for delivery to Lower Green Farm
Thanks once again to Bragg of Briston for picking this car up for us. These are the first pictures of the MG Midget as she arrived here.
As with all the other projects we have here I will put photos on of all the stages throughout the restoration.
Looking sad!
Glen helping to load
Not bad!
Just a little bit of work .......
Where to start!!!!
MG is now running so at least we can move her when we need to. I have given Steve, the owner, the first list of parts that he needs - I think he's like a kid with a new toy - no stopping him now.
Now we are really getting down to business - sadly this car has had work done before and not by a reputable company - cowboy traders come to mind!!
You never know what you will find hidden up!
Lots to do here
Its great being able to put the photos on here for everyone to see as the work on each car progresses. Steve who owns the MG is still in his element ordering parts - we have a 'hotline' to his house and he often pops over just to check how things are going, which is great. Until you actually start on each bit you never know what you will uncover and we have certainly uncovered previous shoddy work.
As you can see from the last three photos, alot of work has been involved in getting the headlights fitted into the bonnet.
The next three photos show the grill being fitted to increase airflow. This involved major surgery and is not for the faint hearted!!
Sorry its been so long putting new photos on website but hope you can see the Midget taking shape and looking better!
Getting to look a bit like a car now
At long last - this will be the final colour of this MG Midget Still a long way to go - since then the owner has changed his mind over the finished colour - scroll down to see the new colour.

After
At least you can see what will be the finished colour!
Masked up ready for final colour...........
As you can see the car is now in its final colour - Old English White and looks fantastic
Looking good
Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances the owner has asked us to put this lovely car back into storage. Hopefully, restoration can start on her again soon.
