Upper engine mount Chassis rail Cage extension to strut tower - attached to a plate attached to the tower Cage extension view from inside the cabin - it did not go through the fresh air vent as I mistakenly said before, we made a new hole.

Hello Phil, Here you go. First two are around steering arm apertures where we found the stress cracks Next four show how we attached the Alfa 33 bars including an additional plate on the intermediate bulkhead Next four show the roll cage tubing brace from the A-post to the underside of the wing rail...

Thanks Kev,

That sounds like a plan.

Cheers

I hope the moderators don’t mind this, but here’s a video made to promote my son’s small business featuring glimpses of our Sud and Alfa 33 that I thought you might like to see. You might be surprised to learn how enthusiastic the youngsters are for the Alfas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yuODtd88C...

Hello Phil My car was showing signs of fatigue at the front end, there were stress cracks on the inner wings around the aperture where the steering-arms poke into the wheel wells so we carried out the following strengthening mods. Plated around the steering arm apertures Seam welded around the upper...

Yep it was a fantastic deal, the car is of a very high spec from nose to tail.

Well we (my son and I) were due to do a track day at Castle Combe on the 18th March but it was sold out when we went to book it but there was a place left for one on an earlier event on 9th March so we nabbed that. We got the 33 into the garage and found water contamination in the oil, the rear damp...

Yes you are right it is the 9th Lou, i’m easily confused..

Ha ha thanks Lou, yep we’re hoping for a bit of noise and fun, however with a bit of creativity the exhaust has been made leak free for the time being.

Adam

Hello Lou

We have our first shakedown in the 33 at a Castle Combe track day on Saturday 6th March I’ll post a report on Sunday if we survive...

Thanks

Adam

Hello RS

I’m in West Wiltshire.
l’ll remove the heads for Lou and then message you thereafter.

Thanks

Adam

No worries Lou

I’ll be in contact

Thanks

Adam

I have a bare 1490 95bhp engine if anyone wants it for spares - it’s been standing in my garage since 1998! no water pump, carbs, belts etc. Yours for free if you want to collect, otherwise it’ll be going off to be turned into baked bean cans

Thanks

Adam

To me...

Evening,

Following a recent conversation with Lou which resulted in my needing to clear garage space, in my pile of old magazines I came upon this article spotlighting an Alfa Romeo UK Turbo conversion and a Westune Supercharging conversion which I trust you will be interested in.

Thanks,

Adam

MOT Time - straight through with no advisories - phew....

I couldn’t agree more with Lauren. It’s great to see a really honest looking old Sud and not the inaccessible garage queen look that makes you scared to use it (what have I done to my car??) Reminds me of photos of the night rallying cars in motoring news, motorsport magazine etc and takes me back t...

At Castle Combe today.
I also spotted a Sprint QV in need of some tlc, a lovely metallic red 105 GTV that looked like it had been given the Alfaholics treatment and two Alfa 145 QVs. I had my hands full with my grand daughters so didn't get to take any photos. This was taken by my son.

Thanks Colin,

Unlike some of the meticulous artisans on this forum all the hard work was carried out by a bunch of great blokes at Spray Tec in Bath - all I did was paint the wheels and turn up at their works every now and again looking a bit angsty.

Adam

Afternoon all, I collected my car from the bodyshop yesterday and its looking a bit shiney so I thought I would share a few photos with you. If the weather's not too bad then I'll be taking it up to Castle Combe for tomorrow's raceday and to investigate the hothatch championship which I think it is ...

I’m sure I have a pair lurking in my garage Dave.
I’ll check at some point this week and let you know.

Thanks,

Ada,

I had the similar issue as fluffyduff - fuel flow restriction draining carbs on a 16v - car was laid up for a couple of years and crud in tank eventually worked its way to the fuel pump gauze filter. Whilst waiting for ATP to reduce their tank price to a decent level I removed the old tank - cleared...

Lots of time spent detailing this car

I'm looking for a manifold/system for a 1.7 16v for my Sud with outboard brakes as per one of the following.

I've tried Shrew but not heard back so I'm wondering if anyone else has a source/contact?

Thanks,

Adam

Mine has been delivered too and that price including delivery is a bit of a bargain. I’m thinking of passing it to a local specialist to see if I can get a copy fabricated in Aluminium and will post back once I know the score. Bearing in mind it has taken me 8 years to get my car back on the road I ...

I ordered one this week and it is marked despatched also.
Fingers crossed the photo of the tank in the ebay listing isn’t actual size...

It looks like these tanks are back on sale at their previous lower price and can be purchased via a normal ebay transaction

Hello Lou,

I’ve used Namrick previously as the nuts and bolts are oem in appearance and easy to select and use from their online catalogue

Thanks

Adam

That’s great Ali, thank you very much.

Adam

Hello Ali

Do you have any photographs of your complete exhaust routing?
I seem to remember that your exhaust (used to) run directly rearwards without going up and over the axle, however I am easily confused.

Thanks

Adam
