International Rescue

We have an old friend back with us this week for a little TLC and a car back from paint ready to be put back together again. We have also done our little bit for some Armed Services coming to the rescue to help them out, not quite Thunderbirds, just a little ol’ parts supplier in UK. They just about made it here, but they rolled out fine, as happy unexpected customers.

There are three Mustangs that are recognised all over the world each from different generations. The first being the classic Bullitt, then came Eleanor, the latest being John Wick. We have the latest of those cars back with us for a once over TLC and a check up.

Such a great car which drives as good as it looks.

We have the ’67 back from paint with the rear end now blended with the rest of the black paint. Yogi is now starting to put the car back together and rewire the rear end.

There are minor adjustments for door gaps and the trunk to be correct all round. those that say the aftermarket panels don’t fit, then we suspect you are doing something wrong.

The glass needs to go back in, a little more trim work, lettering and rubber weather strips and then it will be ready for the fuel and road test.

This car needs a new clutch kit as it gets driven ‘enthusiastically’ as Adam described it.

For many this can be a painful process to change a clutch, but we are fully geared up for it and doesn’t take us to long.

The interior has also had an upgrade with new seats sporting some Alcantara finish.

This army truck had come from the Netherlands to the UK for a show, so far so good. The only is that the truck only ran on LPG. They were unable to get any here as there are virtually none now in the UK. AS last ditched hope they called into us asking for help.

Most people know that we have a huge variety of stock on the shelves and we managed to sort the guys out with a universal electric fuel pump so the truck could then run on standard fuel and not the LPG. Rather than wreck what they had and make a full conversion we managed to get them back on the road and on their way to the show.

Another group of happy customers this time 🙂 It was great to meet you all and hope you had a good time at the show.
