A Little Test Drive
Sunday, December 6th, 2009The car runs great, after connecting the spark plugs in the correct order the Weber carb fired the engine right up. More trim needs to be installed, the wiring looked over, and a few small items still need to be taken care of but this car is finally nearing the finish line.
Last of the Painted Bits
Saturday, December 5th, 2009There were a few things that had been forgotten or had to be replaced after the car was painted. A lot of work has been put off because these few items were missing. Now all the lights can be installed, the ignition coil, and the bonnet latch. The car can finally be started up.
Getting back on track
Saturday, February 14th, 2009The radiator has a new core and is built from the tanks of two radiators from other Alpines. I am gathering some of the trim together to see what I have to replace everything that was destroyed in the accident.
