That Hourly rate is a little low in my experience, it tends to be £45~£60 for most classic work....

And there I was thinking of asking you to finish and paint my GTV6!

Kev, I think you are greatly underestimating, that 10k should be closer to 20k

I guess it depends if you want to do full restorations or part. The guys doing my GTV6 do a lot of classic servicing and repair work, they have very few full restorations on the go, currently an alfa 2600 spider nut and bolt ground up restore, my GTV6 part resto and one other. All the other work is ...

I don’t see any cars listed at all!

To bring this thread to a close my x19 has gone to a new home...a bit sad seeing it being driven away but I know it has gone to a good home. It was fun. Now I need to arrange return of the GTV6 and start reacquainting myself with it, it’s been three years I think

Afaik there are two drain tubes in the bottom of each corner of the Windscreen, they could be blocked or the tube missing.

Our sprint leaks from the selector as well and that’s with normal Castrol EP80/90

Great Job on the banner!

Went to wake our sprint up from its winter break, charged the battery but it would only turn over slowly with no ‘energy’. Battery voltage seemed ok so checked out the engine earth and connections to the starter. https://i.postimg.cc/DwjZyZRQ/1-A236293-0-C7-B-419-E-AA6-E-8-CFE7-C305-ECF.jpg https://...

Also I don’t think you need ‘Classic Alfa forum’ stated twice

Yes Lou!

Need an Alfa Romeo logo on the forum banner!

Jazzy! Nice job guys!

Progress! Things have finally moved on and I hope I’ll have the car back in Jan/Feb 2020. Engine is back in, radiator has been recore’d, new callipers, disks, brake lines, master cylinder etc. Gearbox is back in, prop shaft with new bearings, exhaust, fuel lines etc. She’s not running yet but gettin...

Door stay fun My drivers side door won’t stay open. Instead of buying a new stay I replaced the plastic pulley/wheel. These are riveted in but replacements can be found. I bought mine from DG Rally on eBay uk. I cut a slot across one end of the hollow rivet and crushed the halves together and used a...

A ‘milestone’ passed yesterday

Delta
Golf
Sierra
Victor

Used to know this off by heart but got stuck on Uniform, couldn’t remember it at all!

Interesting, the head was removed on the lower compression cylinders to fix the snapped valve after the cambelt had jumped, I’m not sure the head was skimmed but then I don’t know the full extent of the work carried out....

In the end I've left them and they seem to be OK. I checked the carb balance today and found them slightly out and discovered that I still had about 15deg of throttle movement to go before WOT IE: foot to the floor and the butterflies had 15deg or so of rotation to go! I adjusted the accelerator ped...

Have any of you guys been watching the YouTube series project binky over the last few years? Well worth it if you haven’t...

Shamelessly stolen from Pistonheads, great short video of two ‘rat’ Alfa’s.....instead of worrying about the paint on my x19 I may fit some short springs to lower it and remove the thick lip bumpers....hmmmmmm

Also saw this at the show:

Man, you guys are good!

Ah ok, I’ll pass on that Lou, it’s not the best of designs.

Hi Lou what does it look like?
