I admit it's a lovely dream Martin, that the person doing the welding round the corner from Lee is some sort of elfin creature in her flowing frock and welding goggles. Looking all forlorn that she's not got an Alpine herself.....

Sadly I think the reality is closer to this:

Not sure whether Simon comes on here too often but was looking through a magazine the other day and saw this article with the cars previous owner. Thought it may be of interest.

Waiting for the truck to take it to paint .All refreshed underside and under bumpers etc .Will have to strip it and build back up when done .Those peskey painters have little respect for the oily bits so I'll leave the lump out for now .
Load and loads of rusty brackety shite bits have come off all panels so plenty for me to do when it gets back bolting the refurbed bits back on.

Where did you get the boost hoses from? My order from about 5 years ago for a Samco set through Dell boy is still in "no progress" so might be interested in a set for mine. :up
