i might be on my own here but......i don't think that's too bad if the insurance company have done their usual thing and fitted new parts instead of repairing? did it have a new bumper, door or rear 1/4 panel? if they just repaired and repainted all 3 items then maybe it's a tad high, but as you've ...

didn't plan on doing anything much else to the sud this weekend, don't want it to occupy all my spare time or put any deadlines on it being done. if it's done this year then great, but most likely it won't be. but a few spare hours this afternoon allowed me to catch up a little with parts finding an...

roof is a webasto one mate. still has the logo on the closing mechanism, websato of birmingham or something like that :D not sure if it was fitted from new or somewhere down the line, would have been done while in UK though i guess. folds back lovely though, ruddy great big opening. should be great ...

and no harm in mentioning AO, we all know what the situation degraded into but it was all good in the end, prompted shrew and myself to create this forum.

I closed my AO account yesterday, I havn't used it for months but thought it would be good to close it and leave 'em a few comments in the 'reasons why box', as some of you know I trade in new old stock car parts as a job so any alfa parts sales will get a heads up to this site to help so that in t...

another saturday, a bit more done. first off i had to repiar one sheared fixing from the rear edge of the webasto roof, takign care not to drill straight through the whole thing! precautions were made so was a success :) got the rear side windows in too with rob's help, got to get him involved when ...

nice to see you again mate, glad you've come back to the sud fold. the standard of work you put in is superb, said it before on the old site and worth saying again. seamless blending of that arch, really impressive. can see why it would take so long. but worth the effort. 8-) be nice to see a few S...

KevJTD

That's a tough one......do the side panels have flames on them? Pre 63 scooter as it doesn't have a suffix reg. Other than that, no idea! Either the chap is very tall or the scooter is small , like a Vespa 50, but the rear panels don't look like a Vespa. I'll leave shrew to guess on the helmet ! pi...

not many people remember roland ratzenbergers' death the day before. i do as in the years before he was a big player on the british racing scene, F3000 & BTCC etc. always went flat chat, remember him driving at donnington one year in F3000 and going off at mcleans, kept the foot in through the grave...

I'd much rather finish up my TS and modify the hell out of it

people spend twice that figure making a dog as good as this, and will still be a lot higher mileage than this one.

what were we saying about under-valueing our cars.......

also meant to get the n/s/r window fitted as i had bonded the glass back into place last week, cleaned the seal up and fitted the freshly painted retaining strips......anyone spot the obvious flaw to my plan :roll: Going on the pics Kev you've prepped the o/side or is that too obvious. exactly that...

KevJTD

I don't care, you got yourself another roof lining to do in mine mate, looks brilliant from what i can see so far, any more pics? dunno about doing another one mate, they are a real PITA to do. took me about 3 solid days of cutting, glueing and general fretting over things. the S3 card one is a muc...

KevJTD

only thing you have to mind with the aerosol glue i used for the roof lining is it's very stringy and if there is a strong wind (like there is most days down my wind tunnel/driveway) then the overspray blows everwhere, usually onto the nice shiny paint :( luckily it is still nice and smooth so polis...

had the afternoon free to try and finish the roof lining off. started off with fitting the rear quarter vent while i could, didn't want to fit the inner rear 1/4 lining then realise i couldn't bolt the vent in place! :? so the extra panels that i made (ok, the Mrs stitched a seam into) were fitted w...

i have heard it said before (maybe by tom?) that the alloy bottom plate does add a degree of tortional rigidity.

driveshafts though i have heard are able to withstand power hikes without issue

KevJTD

extremely useful nick, thanks for taking the time and trouble. the ones i have are nearly the same.........which gets me thinking that I have S2 ones. where they clip to the mirror part is different on mine, the location pegs are seperate and will need screws to hold them to the roof. think i'm goin...

KevJTD

had the pleasure of a drive in it today myself.

great car.
