Back - from along the street......
Apologies for the millions hanging on my every word - starting a new business, cars in bits and girlfriend ( now ex ) moving out, has caused a lot of strife I didn't need. In the midst of this I've been robbed twice, had a friend die and the cars are not co-operating.Mk1 2000 - my fault, left her standing without so much as a by your leave, so took me AGES to get her running again, she then threw her toys out of the cooling cot and spilled her guts. Order a new radiator from UK and wait.........the MK2 has soldiered on with a patched radiator for 2 years now - so maybe time to buy in bulk!
Mk2 2500S - New front floorpans both sides, lower corners for wings, second hand wing drivers side after locals used her instead of brakes while parking ( a regular occurrence here in Brussels ). New points, plugs etc... chassis arms replaced, inner/mid and outer sills......... the list grows every time I go in the garage. I've also got a sh*tload of parts to go on - so a wee while off the road for her.
Alfa - BRAKES, BRAKES, BRAKES - I'm quickly falling out of love with the stroppy little Italian...... she's also decided the head gasket is not good enough ( maybe helped by my right foot a little ) so I need to replace that too. It'll be the 4th attempt at the rear calipers, they don't last long as a working pair..... she's definitely on the 'to go' list at the minute. No idea what I'll do with the V6 I have sitting waiting for her.........
DS - in a friends lock-up, awaiting me finding major work space and time! NEVER HAPPEN!
Dolomite - I replaced a load of panelwork last time I was in UK - but that'll all have rusted away again by the time I get to visit next time.
Spitfire - She's sitting patiently in my sisters garage, needing a clutch replacement as it started slipping last time I had her out....... whilst the engine is out I do have a spare Dolly Sprint engine sitting there...... mmmmmmmmmmm
At least the weather is improving............!
