It was good to meet you at an Alfa meet Lauren (a while ago !) and I enjoyed reading much more about your Nova.

Hi Kev Yes, all good but I'm now selling lots of stuff! I really enjoyed my second Alfa stint with the three Sprints (8v, 16V and 24V) but am now back into steam train stuff on the Great Central Railway. Still doing engines - with Boscastle and rusty bodywork with 16T mineral wagons - Windcutters. :o

Hi All - Yes I still lurke on here! I have a variety of Alfa Romeo Sprint spares including a front grille with four working headlamp units (£80), 2 pairs of Weber 36 IDF carbs (£100 per pair), pair of inlet manifolds (£50), misc relays and most of a 164 wiring loom(£25) (£250 for everything). All to...

Excellent job Kev.....I'm not on the site much these days since I sold the 6C, but it must have been fate that I returned to see you get your HF MoTd and back on the road....Very Well Done!

Just as an update the Sprint 6C has been sold a couple of times with no work done. It now is at Luden Automotive and there is a video on You Tube of the engine starting and revving a bit. Hopefully they will be doing a refurb.

Like he said!

Just to update this, I was trawling through the internet and "You Tube" and discovered that the 6C is now with "Luden Automotive" - who intend to bring it back to good order. They do classic and "interesting" car renovation and restoration so I am pleased that the 6C is going to be "looked after".

Keep it coming Phil, no restrictions on make really, more about the people ;) Well done on firing up, bet that's gonna be fun to balance! Thanks Kev - it is now firing on about 10 cylinders so is sounding better! I am busy getting the two banks of carbs linked and as long as they all open reasonabl...

Just an update It Lives!! With a collection of wires and temporary adaptations the MeGa BGT V12 Fired up for the first time. I have uploaded a short video on You Tube and I think this is the link. https://youtu.be/oUgVghlkVgE As I have now sold my Sprints, I feel a bit of a fraud lurking on here, bu...

Nice work on the Dashboard Lauren - but should it now be Dashboard Blacked as a thread title?

I'm sure "Our beloved old cars" will still be around, used and appreciated for many many years to come. The supply of parts for many classics is probably better than cars of more recent times! Also classic parts are simpler and more easily manufactured.

You certainly do get some interesting work!

Well Done!

Nice work on the Mini Kev - I learn't to drive in my mothers Mini in the ......late 60's! We then had one as our family car in the early 80's - but sold it on when the passenger door fell off....

Good work on getting your Sprint to this stage. Looking at the earlier posts re the repair sections from Peter, I think they might have come from one of my cars, which ended up at Peters, as it was declared "uneconomic to repair" after I had sold it with the 16v engine installed but unfinished. Nice...

Thanks again Wow that's alot of painting there :shock: reminds me of when used to spray 40ft containers. look forward to seeing it finished and I bet you do too :lol: Well I have got the white stripes painted now (they show which end has the opening door) DSCF7305.JPG I have just got the other side...

Nice work with the "Bluebird"! Some more grey painting done! http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/455759cca59352e04.jpg http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/455759cca5c923b1c.jpg Now I have to change colour!.... and paint the white diagonal stripes. For those observant people who are wondering about t...

Good work - nice to have the updates.

Very nice, you have done a great job - looking forward to some more pictures.

Looking very good! Do you have a completion date in mind?

Thanks Veesix - and it is up for sale again on the 'bay - due to a "Timewaster"......

It is a scam.........I had a similar situation when I was selling the 6C last year, but mine asked for payment to a Western Union account.

Nice one Kev! I had a TS in our 156 (- but it had the low inlet........ and I went through a flood )

Well there were some Aston Martins at Quorn on Saturday.....

Coming together nicely!

Well it is up on the "Bay" again. I must say that I feel aggrieved that he says the car was “not as described” in the advert that I posted. He did not complain to e bay or make any contact with me since the time of purchase 10 months ago………There were about 8, up to date, photographs of the car and t...

and yesterday I got a bit more done! But I do feel guilty cluttering up the CAF with this railway stuff....

There are a collection of 36 Windcutter 16 ton steel mineral wagons on the Great Central Railway and some are at Quorn Station looking a bit neglected. Well I had a spare few minutes so I thought that I would "Paint my Wagon!" http://imagehosting.rodsnsods.co.uk/4557598d61d4e6c99.jpg http://imagehos...

Nice work! It is great to create your own interpretation of an iconic car.

I've been using the Rods n Sods website to host pictures, then draft a post and "cut and paste" to elsewhere.
