Inspection of the sad looking 1969 4/4 has now been completed. This car has been involved in a fire within its garage which has burnt the driver’s side front quarter, badly enough to take out things such as brake lines, wiring etc, and melt the aluminium front wing. We have prepared a list of parts…

This Week In The Workshop

Frazer Nash Alpine Trial 2017
Each year, over 30 cars compete in the Frazer Nash Alpine Trial, which takes place in the beautiful landscapes of the Italian French Alps. This year is particularly special because our very own Jeremy Holden will be taking part, and spent last weekend traveling to Valloire in South East France with a Frazer Nash Super…
Are we up to the challenge? Of course we are! Morgan+4 Restoration
It’s not like the team at Holden Morgan to shy away from a challenge, and this is especially true of their latest venture – a monumental restoration project of a 1955 Morgan +4 currently occupying the new service and restoration bay. We first introduced you to this broken down +4 back in March after Jeremy…

The Body is now fully fixed to the chassis. Pedals are back in and connected up and working, I bled the brakes through without a hitch….much to my relief, as all new pipework has been installed. The car now needs to be rewired, I’ve kept the rear loom as that was all OK, and the…
2CV Rebuild 19
Last night Adam and Simon helped take the body off the wooden support horses and put it back on the chassis. I had, the previous night, prepped all the chassis with the foam rubber and J-shaped clip on threaded nut clip things that Citroen use to fix down. This is a really good idea… The…

This weekend spent painting the underneath of the body with POR15 bedliner, a chip resistant rubberised paint, see http://www.holden.co.uk/displayproduct.asp?pCode=097.991, As this is water based I had to have a couple of fan heaters on all day in the garage! Job done! – The underside is now fully protected.
