Sorry that's what I should have done.

Looking good

To put things in perspective, this is what Dave bought......well done Dave, great and brave work, incredible to see it looking fresh again, enjoy .

Yep that looks great. Hope it is going well.

Top work Dave, and turned around very quickly.
Thumbs up

Really does look a great turnaround, saved the car and made it very desirable again, well done

I bought the shell from Veesix75 in June 2016, so has been 2.5 years in the process.

But it was stuck at the welder/paint guy's for 18 months when he got ill.

So, a year of my time......must try harder!

Anyway, it passed the MoT today, with a couple of advisories on front wheel bearing and track rod end....a surprise, as that was new.

I asked the guy to do the tracking, but his equipment wasn't available....will have to go somewhere else.

But the main thing was, it drove straight for the couple of miles to the MoT station and back.

So,its taxed (£155 Gulp!) and up and running!

Great news! How was it on the emissions?

Great result Dave, will she be exempt next year?

Yes,tax and MoT exempt from 1st Feb 2020.
Emissions were ok.

Had the tracking done today.....4 wheel laser tracking.....its cock on!
Thats a good result for a car thats been in a front end shunt!

I did check some chassis rail diagonals with Tim and Steve, when I first viewed it, and all seemed fine, but todays result finally confirms that.

Daves daily drive

Turns quite a few heads on the road.
Even had a bloke in a van pull up early today, and start taking pics of it!

Another one back on the road.

Great work Dave. Enjoy.

Looks fab!
Well done Dave for getting the car back on the road and gaining a cool ride, get used to having people interested in it

Looks great, my old beat up racer looking fresh and back on the road, well done Dave top work.

The sud looks great .well done getting it back on the road

Looks great, this whole thread reminds me of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a bit, but I hope you never have to test if it can fly or not

There's some weird bloke's out there Dave. Lol

Someone said that if it had been a 328 , not 329,

a Ferrari owning legal beagle would have paid loads for the reg!

I'm thinking I should sell my Alfasud.
Its not used often enough, and has to sit outside all year. Which of course doesn't help the bodywork. But quite solid structurally.

Still quite reliable, and has an MoT until October.

I've no idea how much its worth though......prices seem to quite high, due to rarity value I suppose.

That’s Sad news Dave. But I completely understand. I’d take some decent pics from every angle and post them with a guide tk your price expectation. It’s a tough market at the moment with all the other pressures in everyone’s household finances.

My asking price will be around £6,000.
