Coming on nicely Lou.

I think you said that you wanted to paint the completed car black? In my humble opinion, the combination of a black engine bay with that 'Lou's Trade Mark blue' engine block will look absolutely superb!

It's time to start the countdown to this year's National Alfa Day to be held at Weston Park in Staffordshire on July 1.

I'll be organising a dedicated parking area for Alfasuds and Sprints so please let me know if you would like a space in our display and I'll book you in.

Thank you.

Get your Suds out!

The battery on my camera/phone died at Duxford this weekend while I was taking pictures of the Alfasud model parking area so I asked some of my friends to take some more photographs for me as I didn't want the opportunity to be missed. So, here they are. There's some real cracking shots among them.....

Thanks to all you Sud-meisters for attending Spring Alfa Day today. A few pictures..

Just a heads up for any 'Sud or Sprint owners going to Spring Alfa Day at Duxford this weekend.

If you arrive in a 'Sud, on entry please ask to be directed to the Alfasud Register parking area. I'll be there to help organise a display of our cars.

Many thanks. See you there!

No. In fact these are exact replica stickers as originally applied to the inside of the front windscreen when the cars left the factory.

Yes. Just a few of these left. Who wants one? Once they're gone they're gone.

This car is ex UK. I think you know Simon Grice?
He’s a former owner

Yes. I know the car and I know Simon very well.

I agree with Kev. The main thing is to definitely ensure that all of the rust rust's chopped out of corroded panels and new metal let in. My own resto' project suffered in places with the rusty panels being hammered/bashed in with multiple layers of filler rammed in to cover the rust then sanded to ...

Looks to me that someone has tastefully modified their Sud. Black plastic was de rigeur at the time but this Sud has been updated nicely. It must have taken ages to prep mind

The Alfasud Ti that I owned for over ten years and sold a few years ago is for sale again. The present owner lives in Surrey. 07596 029451.

Kev; good job chap. Keep it going!

Ongoing Lou but they're making good progress.

Ouch !! that rear roof looks nasty Colin. :o Pleased to see it is getting sorted and you are happy. Moving along nicely. It's triple-skinned in places Keith but the bodyshop know what they're doing and they're confident of getting good results. It's a tricky one but not impossible. The structural i...

With the rear panel repairs completed, work has begun on the rear of the roof panel which if you remember had been crudely bodged in Alfie's previous life. Once the two inch deep layer of filler had been removed, the true extent of the damage could be seen. It's obvious to me that whoever did this b...

OK. I've been away on holiday in Ireland but have returned to some more excellent work by the bodyshop. Previous pictures in this thread will show you what a mess the rear panel was in thanks to rust breaking out around the holes for the rear spoiler attachment points and one or two other areas too....

It's looking good Lou. Another one well on the way to being saved!

Yep. That's the one A6N. Thanks to your dearly departed, my boy Alfie lives on.
Thinks... Maybe we should all carry Alfasud heart and body organ Donor Cards in our glove boxes just in case the worst happens?

Apologies to those of you of a nervous disposition... :shock: :o The Sprint's rear wheel arches were made up mainly of filler so all the grot has been cut out and the panel taken back to bare metal. There's no good news as to what this revealed though. The inner wheel arches have corroded where the ...

It's great Keith. There's light now at the end of the tunnel.

Looking good Colin and your right better to do it right even if it takes longer . I'm about to get in a position to start the repairs on my Ti and would like it to be in the paint shop early next year . Quite right Lou. So, with the bodyshop fully staffed again, work has continued on the Sprint. Th...

Update. I'm conscious that it's been a little quiet recently. In a nutshell, progress has I'm afraid been at pedestrian pace. I won't bore you with the details but the bodyshop I'm using have regrettably had staffing issues for the last few months. In June they really thought that they had found the...

We went to The Ripon Classic Car Gathering at Ripon racecourse last weekend where there were some lovely 'Suds to be seen including Colin Million's black Series II car and Pete Webster's late Sprint.

A few pictures for you...
More to follow.

NADPromoSmall.jpg Calling all you Sud-meisters out there! If you're planning on going to National Alfa Day at Knebworth House on Sunday in your Alfasud or Sprint, and as long as you're not entered in the Concours on the day, then please ask the marshals on entry to be directed to the Alfasud model ...

Sorry I missed this one Kev.
Family problems just at a time you don't need them I'm afraid. And I live in Beverley too.

You did Kev!

Glad you liked it Dave.
I think it's a book we've all wanted and needed within the 'Sud community for quite a while now, wouldn't you say?
