If you are restoring your own classic car, tractor, static engine, motorbike etc then why not bring the parts that you want to look good to us and we can grit blast them in our very on site blast cabinet? Blast cleaning is highly recommended for both paint stripping and rust removal. We can also paint your components in our paint booth saving you the inconvenience of going from place to place with your parts.
We ideally located close to both the A23 and A24 roads so it is relatively straight-forward in getting to us being close to the towns of Crawley, Horsham, Brighton, Worthing and Haywards Heath. If you need MG Parts, then why not pick them up from Sussex Classic Car Parts which is based in Partridge Green (3 miles away) and then bring your parts to us before dropping off your car?

I have been using Lackford engineering for years to develop my car for the track and I have always found their work, service and advice second to none

Super restoration on my battered old Ford Mustang. Price quoted was what I paid. Would recommend.

Quality of work:
I have had the car back for 8 month and so far have found the timing out, the wrong spec cap on the radiator, the bolts on the exhaust and manifold loos. So am going through full list of the work they did to check how it was finished. An electric window water bag was fitted, as the old bad had gone. The original was pump type. I was not asked if I wanted to go electric and the wiring was very pore. The switched drilled into the dash (again not asked about drilling hold in it) the crimps kept falling off. The cables under the bonnet looked so out of place where not neat and one

Robin and his team have forgotten more about the MG than other garages will ever know. Expert, thorough and completes work on time. Not the cheapest but work is of a high standard and lasts. Friendly, personal and flexible. Discount may be available for club membership. Thoroughly recommended.
