Bristol 408

Restoration

In this blog I will share my experiences during restoration of my Bristol 408. The car has been in bits and pieces for many years. Engine, gearbox and rear axle are rebuilt earlier. The journey begins with preparation of the body and chassis before the car is going to the panel beater.

The complete unit

The “stop” at fully open door.

Internal parts. 3 out of 4 springs are broken. Probably made by Wilmot Breeden.

Will try to find another car maker that used the same system.
