Mirrors on and door latches now adjusted, the LH latch is re-worked from a Diablo part. Getting close now! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Steel 308 to one side, Bora the other both in for bare metal resprays. I think Al also has a 250gte, Jenson Interceptor and an Alfa GTV at the moment.
I can't believe I forgot all about this thread. That colour combination is absolutely stunning! Great work by Al once again.
Trunk lid and engine cover now painted, plus indicator frame parts in place. The rear grilles are being re-made as they have warped to a degree we are not really happy with. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Repaired grilles plus newly fabricated rear grilles completed, if anyone else is interested in new rear grilles Al now has a jig to re-manufacture these as they do seem to warp with age (please pm me for details) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nice work. Now that it's almost together it looks amazing. I noticed that you had the chrome rod door struts back on. Did you use the old ones or were you able to find new ones?
We used the old ones as they were perfectly serviceable and hold the doors so no real need to replace. Hopefully just a couple of weeks away now, but then got to find a break in the weather to pick her up.
Not far now, all new grilles going in, plus all satin black done. We have had some small finishers made like daytona's to cover the slightly untidy sill flanges. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thank you, Al had been busy sorting out a Bora so we are slightly behind plan but hopefully should be ready for May. No great rush have a few other projects on.......
Just read the entire thread - beautiful work. I bet you are ready to have it back. I smiled reading your second post when you mentioned that it would take about 12 weeks, now almost done in over 24 months. It always takes longer than you think it should!
Hi Rob yes when we got into this we did not appreciate the horrors. Al had worked miracles, looking forward to the car being back but busy now building a 308 group iv car....
Just a few bits to finish up now, caulking, wiper and then a thorough clean and we should be back on the road. Image Unavailable, Please Login
It'll be awesome once you have the wing on it, that'll return the car to its true form����
Nice job. Color too. Should be ready in a few days now hopefully! What type of caulking are you using?
I am one that thinks the blue and red are exceptionally cool. just invites more inspection and admiration of the detail. a really great job!!
