........ All alfa owners know what a welder is.....

Hi Shrew, Sorry to hear about this, I make most of my sales on e-bay, it is full of idiots you are right, I find it very difficult at times..... Anyway if you have a personal account on there you don't have to accept the return mate, as I am a business on there I have to accept them if within the 14...

Hi Simon, I'm ok for wings, I have a few pairs, thanks for thinking about me and the offer. ;) John at just suds helped me out with the wing mounting rail, its a new item that was fitted to an unfinished restoration which John has broken for parts so it will need a bit of work but the best I could h...

Don't know, looks modern, if its after about 1980 everything looks the same to me

Shrew is right about this being part of a larger piece of equipment, I have seen and worked on industrial welding machines back in the day when I was a maintenance engineer on production machinery, these were indeed water cooled but obviously not hand held machinery as this is intended to be used fo...

Hi Kev,
Looks a useful bit of kit mate. I would have thought compressed air would be the way to cool it but not 100% sure, water could be dangerous should a leak develop during use, what does everyone else think....

awesome, seems a long time now since see all watched these on the Lambard RAC Rally
My interest in Rallying died when these cars did to be honest....

Ah ha, I now understand this, John sorry for sending you 2 messages both exactly the same! .......

Nice one Kev, well done, the size looks ok mate, keep thinking I could do with something similar as I have parts stored in 3 different locations across Nottinghamshire currently.

What about leaving it standard?

Wanted - R/H wing mounting rail for my SI Ti Restoration as shown in the thread

Did anyone see that other classic car program on channel 5 last night? I almost turned it off after 10 minutes as it seemed to be aimed at a load of toffs in London but it improved a bit as it went on, I still don't think it will venture north of the Watford gap though into 'bandit country' and I ca...

Yes agreed, this should be very interesting :) A lot of these programs are a joke to be honest aren't they, those of us who do this type of work all know how many hours it takes on the bodywork on these cars given the construction methods and the lack of panels etc. Like its already been said all pr...

Wow, never been registered
'as New' in every sense of the word
I think it will go for about the 30k, chance of a lifetime for somebody, mind you would a new owner be happy to drive it?

.....and another, an earlier Super in totally original condition and in the UK.....

Cheers all.....

Yes merry Christmas to all fellow members, 'ave a gud un'

Welcome Jixxer, it should be good to have a younger generations point of view on things

Wow Kev, didn't know they did that at East Kirkby. I did a taxi ride in "Just Jane" for my 40th.......... God, that was eight years ago !! Loved to have seen all three together. I know what you mean about a good camera, I went here yesterday for a twilight taxi. Nice Lightening Pics mate ...

Aye up,
Looks like a Mazda Cosmo....

Yes look like an old aircraft engine / gearbox with loads of impact damage, old as well looking at the gear cutting

I came across a free car history storage database a few days ago, basically it lets you begin an on-going history record for your car and upload photos etc. I haven't had chance to begin anything myself but I thought I would post up the details as it may be of interest to some of you other chaps on ...

Agree with Shrew, looks like a Marine Diesel Engine

ah, just seen them on your other post vecchy. the ones you've got in the normal colours with raised letters will, of course, be fine. i saw the ones in the ad with a black background which will be an issue, sorry for confusing anyone ;) :) ....... We still see modern cars driving around with the bl...

Aye up, Just seen this, good idea shrew but the costs are likely to make this difficult mate, as you know mate I have several places across Nottingham to store stock for the business, all new old stock classic car parts, 2 40' containers, a council lock-up + the farm & this amounts to currently ...

If you are looking for the original style alloy plates with the raised plastic letters I can recommend 'Framptons' in Sheffield: http://www.pl8s.co.uk/index.html They are very good quality although I found the alloy edges needed a de-burr with some wet n'dry / steel wool & wet scotch to finish t...

.....only just seen this, the give away was 'felix' - felix Wankel Do any RE5's survive?

Good idea

Yes looks a good project for somebody

wow
