We are an installer for Alan Howells now famous bonnet conversion. The main bonnet of the Tuscan is converted from a bolt on item to an easy lift pivoting bonnet using gas struts and spherical bearing rod ends as hinge mounts. We have to trim the leading edge of the [...]

Wanting to rid the Griffith of its Cavalier tail lamps but keep the “chopped in” shape of the rear lamp aperture which we feel is an important part of the design of the car we decided to come up with a tail lamp conversion utilising a clear lens with round [...]

A well know car to us being one we had previously repaired and painted. Now in the hands of a new owner it was “lost” coming off a roundabout causing extensive front end damage. The insurance engineer took some convincing that it could be repaired as the front end was [...]
