This is what full restoration looks like after all the hard work is finished – easier to list what we didn’t rebuild or replace (nothing!). Got a project that wants some help? Drop us a line. #mini #minicooper #classiccars #classiccarsculture #carsofinstagram #carrestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/B1l3eRVlz9i/?igshid=suyj00wi1v17

This is what ground-up restoration looks like once all the hard work is done – easier to list what we haven’t done to this #Mini: nothing. Made its debut today at #Goodwood. Got a restoration project moving at snail’s place? Let us help speed things up. #cars #carrestoration #carsofinstagram #minicooper #classiccars #classiccarsculture https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lzj8OFIYG/?igshid=dhrca7k26k03

Newly arrived Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible in for inspection – trailered here but it’ll go home a runner. Job list includes full carb rebuild, electronic ignition and Revotec fan kit, plus some minor cosmetics. 💪 #triumphcars #classiccars #britishclassic #carrestoration #carsofinstagram #revotec https://www.instagram.com/p/BzxqvIVFdvv/?igshid=qlncx6904e8t

Stripped, cleaned and rebuilt HS2s from a formerly spluttering #Triumph #Spitfire. Now starts on the button. Got poorly SUs? We can help. #classiccars #carsofinstagram #carrestoration #cars #britishsportscar https://www.instagram.com/p/BwTvQijl8O4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1knniztzaop7m

Spot the diff (clue is in the hashtags!). And yes, we rebuild gearboxes too. 💪 #classiccars #carrestoration #triumph #triumphstag #cars #carsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv19JmFFGJo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ufyit2ezmt

A happy customer collection for the #Cresta last weekend with its restored, rebuilt and powder coated subframe, plus new springs, shocks and bushes. We also sourced a new old stock brake master cylinder and new hoses, then serviced front calipers and rear drums. The only thing you don’t see in this pic is the underseal that finished up the job. 👌 #straight6 #vauxhall #retrorides #classicsaloons #70ssaloons #classiccars #carrestoration #classiccarsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvgfMdGlYhE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tjkvgkulkesa

New suspension and subframe for an old #Vauxhall Cresta. Just the last few jobs on the brakes to finish up and it’ll be back on the road. #classiccars #carrestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPuAOEl87D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ct0yjvm35stl

Well-weathered 911 in for a bare-metal makeover in time for summer. More pics when the paint is on... #porsche #porsche911 #classiccars https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMURfIlVr1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j7yyxg5tj4q0

Definitely a nip in the air this morning... #classiccars #rollsroyce https://www.instagram.com/p/BtA3IJaFMo1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dolf33iavl7d

Regular visitor returns for its yearly MoT, service and tune-up – this time treated to a carb rebuild too. Is there a four-pot that sounds as good as a well-sorted Ford crossflow? Maybe not. #kitcar #classiccars https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqa3-sFFkL2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hqaembz3xq7x

NG #V8 in the workshop for some work to keep it on the road – in both the reliability sense and that of keeping the power down. This thing is FAST. 😬 #classiccars #carrestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCD2UqHBE-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=28jaz3voic2q

#MG Magnette – the first MG to carry the B-series motor later to be made famous by the MGB – in for steering rack, remote server, a service and to plug a couple of leaks. Can’t think of a ’50s sports saloon we’d rather own. Lovely. #classiccars #carrestoration https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRdVcvnEvf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10mrkk5he2fse
