It has been a long while since anything new went up here. The work on the collection never stopped — it just changed format.
These days I show what I am working on in video over at This Week With Cars on YouTube.
There is also the companion site at thisweekwithcars.com with more about each car.
This site stays up as an archive of the earlier shop work. For everything current, see you over there.
Now that the hardtop has been restored for use on another car this one is moving on to another life. The owner is planning on getting it back on the road.
I took the carbs off the car to try out the new ultra sonic cleaner. Just pulled the float out, drained the oil and gas and threw it in the cleaner for 25 minutes. Came out looking almost new just needs some polishing.
After an accident on the highway that send a vehicle into the shop several car were in need of repair. The Sprite had some broken tail lenses and it is a good time to replace the entire housings.
Here is a very nice looking Jaguar XJS. This car has a fuel injected 5.3L Jaguar V12.
This Vixen has a Tuscan bonnet and a rebuilt 1,599 cc Ford Kent engine.
Sadly the TD is moving on to a new owner.
Although this car had an alternator conversion before it was always breaking loose due to poor mounts. This kit from Moss looks great and is much sturdier.
With the last major trim this car is ready to be loaded onto the transport to the local concours.
With a new top installed this car becoming very close to being completed.
The under tray needed serious cleaning after the stroker engine burned out a piston. The tray will be replaced with a smooth one along with a new rear splitter.
The Triumph is going up for sale and so after a bit of cleaning these are the last pictures that will be posted of it.
The Rolls Royce will be shown in a concours soon and needed to be cleaned up a bit.
Three circuit breakers have been installed behind the driver’s seat to give easy access to resetting the new wire harness and computer.
After having problems with the computer, a new wire harness is being installed that will allow me to change to a new EFI that can control the whole car without the need of the stock computer.
