That's where mine came from ChrisOriginally Posted by ProtoTipo
Ahh?
It's nice when you start looking closely at a car you've just bought and it gets better, rather than the other way round?
I had an Opel GT from Arizona. You take the 'fried trim' on the chin, when there's no rot?
Exactly.... even the nuts and bolts, once cracked you can take them off with your fingers !
For me no welding is the target !... nuts and bolts I can handle !......... would certainly consider this sort of project again
Well the Fiat project is still limping along....my last find within the car inside the rear valance was these chaps...
after investigation it turns out they are Brown Widow nests!!...... Fortunately mother was dry and crispy !!....which is lucky as I hate spiders....... So I have spiders in my Spider....
axle has has been reconditioned, rear bumper shock absorbers are out.....should be able to get back on it once Nellie is back on the road.
Well that's your rebuild brought to a screeching halt then - once the environmentalists, wildlife lovers and tree-huggers find out your car's a home for exotic species there'll be some sort of preservation order slapped on it and you'll have to keep it exactly as it was found. You'll be lucky if they even let you fire it up and run it up and down the drive...see, shoulda bought that Beta Couple from Richard
Are you sure it was the mother spider who was brown and crispy ? It could have been Father spider killed by the "widow" after the rumpy pumpy.
Thankfully the Beta Coupe is sold !!.... Not let on to the tree huggers and the wildlife lovers just yet !!..
I'll keep my eye out for the mother....hammers are at the ready !
fitted bumpstops and pulled a little more underseal off.....perfect black paint underneath again
Also so axle is back in place....so it's coming on...slowly!
