Tale from the workshop Resteration Plastic.

Some more plastic from the MK3 Honda civic showed up the other day. This time it was a shock guard/ soft mount for the rear spring.  The shapee of it suggests that it is a  weather defector for the mounting bolt too.

The repair its self was not that difficult, There was a slit  about twenty-five mm long. Once we had  given the plastic a good clean without which the welding process will not bond properly it was ready for us to identify which type of plastic it was. The repair went surprisingly well considering how imbedded the dirt was. Good for another two hundred and fifty thousand miles. We still cannot believe that this car has done that much mileage.

Tale from the workshop Honda grill!?

No! not something you use for the BBQ made by Honda.

Honda MK3 grill

It is a small two bar section that fits just above the bumper on a MK3 Honda civic. I know it must

Tack welded back in place

be the only one left in UK still in working order. The civic is twenty-four years old but that did not stop it passing its MOT at the first attempt. Parts for it are becoming very scarce. So if you know where we could get hold of a driver’s side (offside front) head light let us know. We are also on the hunt for other items.

This little grill was in for repair, the two tabs where the screws hold it to the body work had broken off. Not a big job but a job all the same which received our full attention so that it all went back together and hopefully will last another twenty-four years.

Do you do?

Yes we can! 

From time to time we are asked, can you repair this or that and in many cases we can, as long as it is a thermo plastic.  We are plastic welding specialists first; who just happen to have a good reputation for repairing motor bike farings. We also “make good”  bumpers .

Some of the other types of repair we have completed:

A repair to a canoe that had been nearly split in two. (and it rhymes)

 A close friend  cracked the wing tip of his light aircraft while he was giving it re-spray and overhaul.

 A gentleman with a camper van came to us with a badly melted water tank. 

Some of the more odd ball repairs we have done, a beard trimmer, the wheel housing on a folding push chair, A bucket! yes that’s right!  not just any old bucket, but one from a jet ski; a Dyson vacuüm cleaner hose clip catch.

We have also fabricated things. A large water tray for a photographer; some mud guards for a mountain bike. Some requests  are turned down because it is not practical or cost affective to do. 

People have asked if we can adapt/customise farings and bumpers. Yes we can and have done so; adapting a Suzuki GSXR nose cone, so a set of  Honda fox-eye headlights could be fitted.!  A  bumper from a late-model V.W Golf to fit an older one.! The list is long but we don’t want to bore you so that’s it for now!
