Most Morgans have steel wings and body, but some will have aluminium - both metals can and do corrode and need attention. We take a view on an individual car as to whether panels can or should be repaired, or need complete replacement.

Engines are stripped down as required and assessed. Most engine work we will do in-house, only contracting major items of machining, e.g. cylinder rebores or crankshaft regrinding. If the gearbox and/or rear axle need overhaul, we will normally put this in the direction of a specialist as this is usually the quickest and most cost effective route to take.

Key to obtaining a top quality paint finish is excellent preparation of the bodywork -  ensuring any corrosion is fully removed, other defects addressed and panels primed and flattened as many times as necessary before the top, colour coats are applied. Some cars will have a bare metal respray, other Morgans where the original paintwork and body panels are in reasonable condition, won't require this level of preparation.

On return from the paintshop, the final jobs in our Workshop will be fitting lights, brightwork and ancillary equipment. Once this is complete, the Morgan then goes into our Trimshop for the final part of the restoration project , retrimming the interior and manufacturing and fitting a hood and other 'weather equipment' as required.
