FORD MUSTANG
AUSTIN HEALEY 100/6
This Mustang was given to a so called reputable paint shop in the Sebenza area. They charged the client a fortune. Nothing that was supposed to be done on the car was finished. Given to them in bare metal, there is filler on the vehicle inches thick as they did not know what they were doing. 6 months later, the body is cracking all over. The client has asked us to repair as best we can without taking vehicle back to scratch. BEWARE OF COWBOYS.
#PitmansAfricatotherescue
Austin Healey 100/6 circa 1956. This vehicle came to us in January for a full restoration. The vehicle had been standing for +/- 30 years, but with a little gentle persuation, it started after all that time. Now starts the serious business of stripping for restoration. Please look at the pictures to follow the progress of this restoration.
AUSTIN HEALEY 100/6
Another Austin Healey circa 1957/8. This vehicle was brought in by the client for a full rebuild. The vehicle is through the paint stage and the rebuild is now starting in earnest.
This vehicle is a long term project
AUSTIN HEALEY BJ 8
An Austin Healey BJ 8 came into us in 2014 in fair condition. The vehicle came in for a refurbishment and not a rebuild. New parts were ordered from overseas and the paint work was completed in Duco cellulose paint. The interior was completely re done.
FORD F 100 PROJECT
MG MIDGET
This Ford F100 came in as just a shell and it has been worked on prior to it arriving. We stripped it back down to metal, prepped and primed it in readiness for paint. We painted the vehicle in Boxwood Green. The dash was totally rusted, so we decided to keep the look of it and gave it a Patina effect. The interior we have done in black leather. Next phase is the engine work and continue with the build. More pics as we go along.
This MG Midget has also been standing for +/- 30 years and also started on a button with a bit of tenderness.... This vehicle is of great sentimental value to the client and is to be refurbished to it's former glory.
1969 280 SL PAGODA
This beautiful car has come in for a complete engine rebuild. The vehicle currently has a modified engine which we are replacing with a totally origina, built from the ground up. Whilst it is here we will be painting the engine bay.
