The tiger has a remote oil filter that consists of several pipes that tend to leak. The upper pipes next the oil filter started to leak badly on this car and something has to be done.

Alpines and Tigers have saddlebag gas tanks and here you can see mice have packed the area under the gas tanks in each fender full of junk. You will want to clean these out so that it doesn’t hold moisture and rust out the bottom of your fenders.

Recognize this? Under all of that mouse junk was hiding the original tire hold down. After sandblasting and powdercoat it will be as good as new.

Here is the old set of tires sitting with five new Sumitomo HTR 200 175/70R13s from the TireRack. This will be a big improvement over the old tires.

As the car heated up the shop overnight the pressures came back up in the tires and the right rear blew sometime when nobody was here.

This is the Tiger. It took four weeks to get here so now that the snow is on the ground we won’t be finding what problems it has that could be fixed this winter.

Just for fun a grill from a Series 1 – 2 Alpine has been installed. The mounting holes are different and the grill opening on the early cars is smaller so you going to have to mess with things to get it to look good. I think it looks much better than the Talbot bar.
