Advertising pickup gets a lowering

Just a few shots of another great Bay pickup that's been through the JC doors for a tickle with the lowering stick:

Look out for the Bronte Camper Hire pickup near you soon and if you want your Bay lowering, restoring or just running right, give us a call...

Mmmm... doughnuts

Now there's a Krispy Kreme opened up at Birstall it seems a great excuse for a bit of a V-dub Sunday Cruise...

More details to follow when we've worked out a Sunday when there's plenty of us available...

JC on FB

Don't forget people; you can find out loads of stuff about JC Motors on our Facebook page - link here.

It was great to see old friends at Stanford Hall last weekend - show your faces on Facebook and we'll have a proper get-together some time.

My kinda hybrid car!

Take one clapped out Morris Minor:

And one slightly bland Nissan 180SX:

Then just stick 'em together:

T3 Back from paint...

Now the fun task of sticking it all back together, the bit where you just keep chipping away and job-jobbing along until you realise big progress is being made.

Super shiny panels a-go-go!

Onwards toward an impending MOT deadline, more build pics to follow...

Car of the week (probably the year!)

Here at JC Motors we love a classic Porsche, the type that is to be driven, not posed in.

The amount of work going into this RSR build is nothing short of epic, pictures barely do it justice...

Check out the build thread here.

The end is in sight

Another quick photo update of David & Matt's T3 resto:

 

 Cutting new strips to rebuild the bottom edge down the long side.

A rear end to be proud of! (note this work has taken several cuppas to get done!)

Factory-fresh looking rear corners - no more seam rot for years to come.

Hopefully off to paint any minute now. Keep them eyes-peeled for the return of a newly painted bus.

Progress...

Just a few more pics of David & Matt's resto:

Time to peeeeeeeel off the howies stickers:

Back down on all four wheels after cosmetic surgery:

Looking forward to getting this off for paint this week, prep, prep, prep...

More metal mastery...

There's only one way to sort the seam-rot on a T3 - get completely rid.

This is how to do it right:

Make like Bruce Lee and chop chop chop...

Front arch now done too:

If you've got rot that needs removing get in touch now.

Bad metal out, good metal in...

The resto goes ever-onward - that infamous T3 water-trap behind the front bumper, sorted.

Them holes that start to bubble up under the window rubbers, sorted.

Cab-steps once again made of metal:

But there's still a way to go yet...

Don't forget, if your van is starting to resemble a teabag, get in touch today! We can work wonders with welding and magic with metal.

More updates soon...

Matt & David's Mini-resto

There comes a time when you've just gotta say 'enough's enough'. That blue tape is fooling no-one, those seams have seen far better days and if I don't do something soon there'll be more holes than metal.

So it's time to welcome back to JC Towers the old faithful T3 belonging to lifelong customers David & Matthew.

The brief? Simple - a shiny van to go to Bustypes in. Can't say fairer than that. Expect some major surgery occurring during the coming weeks.

In she comes!

Hittin' Switches

Check out Bryn's latest ride:

A sweet '66 rolling on hydraulics. Freshly purchased and straight into JC HQ for an inspection and safety check - remember kids; running low can often add more problems to suspension and drivetrain - get it checked out!
This is one ride with plenty of Rattitude - keep your eyes peeled for this one scraping the streets of West Yorkshire...

Alan approves of the front safari screen and the pro-biotic yogurt aged paintwork.

Car of the week...

Oh Lord, won't you buy me... a 240z

It's not just an appreciation for German metal here at JC Motors - we love the occasional retro-ricer too!

Check out the build thread here.

Then check out the For Sale thread here.

Now where did I leave that spare $125,000....?

Badge idea:

Subtle.

I'd rock a pair on my ride... would you?

Car of the week

Be afraid, be very afraid...

It's the Amazon Gasser - in kill mode!

This beast looks like a whole heap o'fun...
