Bikini Black Alpha

 Security state has gone up a scale with the old cold war sign up complete with old red flashing light!!
 New stoneware Pottery Cams in place, a wonderful cartoon styled piece that is quite convincing from a distance!!!
 Glass eye piece and sensor really finish it off. Just need to do my Tincan logo on the front doors now and some old garage type sign writing...."Aircooled service, repair and shit" type nonsense.


Split Screen Engine Lid Hinge Panel Replacement

 Original panel drill and chisel removal method. Cleaned acid washed, and zinc primered.
 Lovely Autocraft panels.
 Took massive amounts of panel beating to get the rear cargo floor straight again but it looks brilliant.

 Nice door alignment.
 WOW, is that an early splitty panelvan???
 Window frames stripped down for painting and loads a new rubbers!!
Nice new chrome quarter lights and a front window pop out kit, including a rear one??????

MGB GT RESTORED BY OCD VW

Finally back, its time for a bit of the Austin Powers feel, yeah baby!!!


 Rear title details, plus inner seals.
 Side rivets in plus a few extra missing ones, scary moment on that paint work....
 Grill bumpers and lamps. Windscreen in and seals and trim but not fitting well, so new rear and front rubbers.
 More bloody drilling. Plus the other side.
 Sheared the quarter light when removing seized nut, so welded in a cut bolt thread.
 New quarter light seals plus plenty a grease on the threaded spring shafts.
Washed and polished, looking good matey.
 Good reflections. Purchased a bag load of rubbers and fitting from MG Bee Hive.....sorted little place, all on the shelf's and a cup a coffee!!!.
 So my little friend........fancy a drive???
