They are not that clever are they.
This is why these sort of cars become trouble once they are about six years old. Look at all the Range Rovers that all have suspension faults.

I think you are selling yourself short Kev - didn't you win silverware at the AROC concours with VJM??? [/quote] Yes, he is modest. I was at that show and was looking out for bits for my car, (at that time still a couple of years from completion) and was so pleased to see a Sud winning a prize. Didn...

Hey Lou , I thought it looked nice before but those wheels really do finish it off a treat.
The bigger diameter does suit the styling of the car. Sometimes I think too big with thinner tyres doesn't always make an improvement, but they sure do.

Looking smart. Nice job on the body with new rear arches.

Cheers Lou,
We need a good start to this New Year.
We need something to look forward to.

Beauty.

No, I don't think that is odd to match up your glass, and as you say, the trim is better than you had so why keep it as a spare when you enjoy using the car.
Was the S3 a gold cloverleaf? noticed it had headlight wipers.

What a lovely collection you have there James.
Very smart.

Oh yes !! I like that. My friend had a 105, and that was fun.
I don't think there will be any objections if you put up a few photos of the Monte

Lets hope you can enjoy some summer fun next year.

Lovely !!

Like your car, filler cap area had rotted out , so when I replaced the sills, wheel arches, tailgate and back panel I grafted in the filler flap and box from an Alfasud Sprint that was scraped. I also used the plastic filler pipe to connect it to the fuel tank.

Spot on. Well done.
I loved my S2, it was just like yours with the early Zender kit . 1.7 with the five spoke alloys and lowering springs.

Well done John, so glad that she wasn't scrapped. I got a message from the guy who bought my last 156 a while ago. I sold it with a full MOT. We all then ran into the covid pandemic when they gave MOTs a six month break and 18 months after he contacted me to say she sailed through her next test and ...

Well done Lou, a great result. Roll on warmer weather. I had to smile to myself when I read that you will re-build the other engine "at your leisure". You are always on the go, like Kev !! It has been cold, I had to change the battery on my Giulietta at the weekend and that wind cuts right through.

Good luck Loo, that really does look like a challenging search. Never knew they made one for the Spider.
That filler cap look happy

Hey Lou, that looks a belter.
As Kev says, it looks really nice and tidy and the paint looks spot on, plus all the nice goodies fitted.

Hi Gary , welcome to the forum.
I am sure you will find some interesting reads.
Keith.

Nice one Kev, I told you they drive nice.
Sure footed I thought and still a supple ride.

Thanks for the link Tim.
Good to see you and Simon back in action.
Roll on 2022 when I hope to get out more.

Someone did alright.

Happy Birthday Shrew.
Hope you are having a good day,

You start to loose faith in mankind sometimes.
I think 24/7 news doesn't help either. They tell us a story then it just spirals out of control. Common sense seems to be a dying thing now a days.
If only I knew how to invent an app to put on a smart phone.....................

I used copper pipe on my car when I got it back on the road in 2013. I now need to get some of Kev's new E15 rated pipe to replace all the rubber stuff. In fact, recently I had to remove the radiator and air box for some repairs, and it was a bit of a blessing as it exposed that the fuel line was al...

Well done Lauren for persevering with the search.
Great to hear the problem was nothing too serious and your engine is now sound.
You should be able to enjoy your motoring green style again.

At least you have an insight to working on the next generation Alfas mate. "A hateful design", love it.

Nice one. I saw an Astra at my local a few years ago and he had done the Saab twin turbo head swap. Looked good under the bonnet.
