That looks great, well done guys!

I'm thinking the same thing...

Yes, blue.

Tested using kitchen paper close to the exhaust with a few blasts an all it seems to produce was water vapour....

On the plus side I fixed the rear hatch release cable!

Took The car out again today and there was some smoke as before pulling away after a downhill run with closed throttle but it seems to have cleared so I'm not sure what is going on. A few WOT blasts and no smoke I could see, I think I'll just have to keep an eye on this one. She did throw a bit of a...

Thanks Shrew, it's seems fine normal driving but I've not been able to get out today to check...

Hi all, Yesterday took our Sprint (1350) out for a good run and noticed a puff of blue smoke from the exhaust pulling away after running down a long hill with the throttle closed. I.E. Roundabout at bottom of hill come to a stop then pull away.....the car was up to temperature and I only noticed it ...

Engine has progressed! Now rebuilt and more beer vouchers lost from my bank account :cry: Some pics from the rebuild, not mine.... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_/other/ALFA/IMG_3146.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_/other/ALFA/IMG_3136.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums...

Looks good!

Oh, the cause of the corrosion on the rear wheel arches seems to be due to the underseal not making its way into the arch lip. On the one they cut out part was undersealed and solid but where it stopped the corrosion had set in....

Things are progressing slowly. Gearbox is back and refurbished dual clutch is ready to go in. Rear wheel arch now finished and the guys are going to start on the other side soon. The engine has proved to be a bit of an issue , well the conrods have. It seems on one bank they where installed incorrec...

Not much been going on recently. Engine is back and fitted with new bearings and rings, heads skimmed and new exhaust valve oil seals etc. Gearbox was due back before xmas but not sure of the latest. The garage had managed to start work on the body though. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_...

3D printing is definitely the way to go for these parts. I bought the sunroof release surround for my GTV6 and it was 3D printed. I'm looking into this at the moment as it could solve a lot of issues.

That's the way I turn our sprint over....works well

heads up if you need a new airlifted cheap - 3 left

Ok will do, how easy is it to separate the glass from the lamp unit and swap over?

We've had this ongoing rattle from our Sprint whilst driving only heard with a window wound down. I found out what it was today whilst investigating a small fuel weep from the pipes under the near side rear wheel arch. The pads are quite loose on both calipers, the retaining Spring seems ineffective...

Any good?

Progress is being made. Went to have a look yesterday and the guys have got the engine and gearbox out. The engine bay came up well after a good steam clean http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_/other/ALFA/image.jpeg The car is surprisingly solid, the chassis rails are in good order on the mai...

Nice to meet you guys! Ours was the only Sprint there, shame more couldn't make it...

Looks like we may get away with it! See you tomorrow!

We planned to bring our S3 sprint up but not sure on the weather now, will make a decision on Sat....all being well we hope to be there.....

Wasn't there some talk about the rubber from a Ford Cortina fitting? Or did I dream that.......

LOL waaaay to easy for you guys, well done! Apparently the Grifo was an actual show car for the company...

The above where at our local car show on the Cricket ground, nice 33 there, local, forgot to get the chaps name....maybe a member of the forum?

Oh another, maybe easier than the first....

Here's one for you guys, no googling the reg number! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_/other/ALFA/Ley%20Hill%20Classics/image_6.jpeg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_/other/ALFA/Ley%20Hill%20Classics/image_4.jpeg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l82/_NRG_/other/ALFA/Ley%20Hill%2...

LOL! You know I've only just found this! Was going to make a new thread as we've decided to get the ball rolling and get the old girl going again. If we don't do it now I don't think I we will ever get around to it. We moved 'bleery' (don't ask) 3 years ago after my mum passed away. She had been hou...
