Re: A bit of nostalgia

Nice one Tim, you forget how many adverts for Alfas there used to be in magazines, and not just motorsport ones.
Where would the track be that "75" was taken?
Imagine getting dropped off at school in a stripped out race car. 8-)

Re: VFV 784Y

I could never understand how they made a feature of "doing the brakes" then filmed the car locking up at the rear and squirming sideways on the road.

Wow, that is an interesting Sud and rare to see an old Giulietta. Not many of them about even on the road let alone in motorsport.
As said, frightening fees to compete.

Re: Welding to sills

Dave, that flange actually sandwich's three pieces together.
There is an inner strengthening panel that runs inside the sill. Outer sill on one side and the floor flange on the other.
Meeting at 90 degrees with the inner in the middle.

Re: A one off.

Could you imagine being a designer given a brand new SZ and being told to be creative and left alone. Then finally being asked to present your project to all the big wigs.
The response as you pull back the cover, then the deathly silence.......

Nice one Lauren, shame you had to pull the old engine.
So are you fitting your old carbs off the other engine, hence the new jets?
Fingers crossed for a successful first start.
