March 30th, 2009Got no keys

Back for a bit
March 29th, 2009Running well and back on the road.
Pressure Valve Fix
March 28th, 2009The oil pressure relief valve was not moving into a position that would allow it to open. A little pin and JB weld has fixed it.
Bad Pump
March 22nd, 2009The problem with the car is the oil pump. The pressure blew out the oil pressure line running to the oil pressure guage.
Oil pressure blow out.
March 21st, 2009The oil pressure keeps building up so much that it is blowing the gasket on the oil filter out.
Smoothing the face

Getting back on track
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.
