Slowsilver Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Another fun day of tinkering.More achieved than anticipated despite numb fingers and hailstones.Nice to meet Andyrew, who did sterling work on the Alfa with the aid of several large hammers.Sorry to see he had trouble getting home.I have also contributed another pair of wheel ramps to Six-cylinder's proposed borrow/loan/adopt/rehome scheme which are now languishing in the field with some new friends.If anyone needs a pair, he is now your man.Looking forward to the next one, which will hopefully be a tad warmer.

Six-cylinder Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Here’s a South American import in Ireland for £7750. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1085211 Looks like a dealer trying is luck asking twice what the car is likely to fetch.

HMC Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Do the festival of the un exceptional frown on “patina”? Great candidate IMO. Also haven’t you had cars borrowed by film companies? What with the different coloured door and general patina etc it would be perfect for something set in the 1980s Brodders, Burnside, Six-cylinder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Today's Drive shot, I am feeling pretty pleased as everything you see is legal and works. After a long and torturous time with the Cadillac not working because of a worn gear cable selector bush and then a MOT fail it is now all sorted with a fresh MOT. The Allegro ground to a halt on the drive and would not restart, turns out to have run out of petrol showing 1/4 tank. tooSavvy, Asimo, danthecapriman and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 A clue for an upcoming car job? Strange thing it was significantly cheaper to buy it in Holland including shipped than buying it in the UK. Even the time to get it too me was very reasonable, I ordered it Wednesday evening and it is with me Monday morning. Thanks to richardmorris for steering me to the correct one for my car.
