AMR Automotive Restoring a 1968 Mercury Comet

We recently had the pleasure of working on a beautiful 1968 Mercury Comet in our Calgary shop. Like most classics, it came in with a few issues that needed attention, and we were happy to get this ride back to its best.

The brakes were soft, so we added a vacuum pump to boost braking performance and swapped out the worn brake hoses. The master cylinder had deteriorating seals and was leaking, so we replaced it with a brand-new one to restore full braking power.

We upgraded the fuel system by installing a new mechanical fuel pump and adding a backup electric pump for extra reliability. This way, the Comet is ready for any drive without worry.

To finish things off, we replaced the rear shocks with a fresh set of air shocks for a smoother ride and better handling.

As always, we used premium parts from Mopac Auto Supply to ensure quality and reliability. At AMR Automotive, we take pride in helping Calgary car owners keep their classic vehicles safe, strong, and running like new.
