keep an eye out folks, should never happen, but it does.

glad you're keeping those brain cells in use Bob, be a hec of a waste otherwise. Like they say, if you don't use it... today was a check day, Brakes, battery, my new exhaust brackets, took Alice out for a run in the country, what a great day to be on the open road. https://res.cloudinary.com/lglcsry...

Cheers Bob. great fix for my nagging exhaust bracket problem, finally found a solution, I purchased a Ford Transit van exhaust bracket and it fits perfectly, no welding needed either. https://res.cloudinary.com/lglcsryth/image/upload/v1584622227/exhaust_bracket_ratte_osfmrb.png it's stopped the ratt...

you know Jagnut, you may have a remarkably good idea there, I'll give it a go, as you say, what have I to loose.

this fiat seems to be suffering the same fate


view inside from the open sun roof.

she is doomed to sit there and just fade away, such a shame, the owner now owes the cost of holding fee on top of any restoration work, the torsion bar bolts are welded over apparently.

the owner placed a price for restoration with the company that hold it in their rear scrap yard, company said way too low, the owner said he'll think about it and hasn't been contactable since, years later, she's gone from white to green moss coloured. https://res.cloudinary.com/lglcsryth/image/uplo...

Good advice about the weather Bob, it was much cooler yesterday. I've got out of my restoration routine, forgot to take pictures of the stages of the seat rebuild, here it is finished and bolted back in place, the firm new web straps were hard to stretch and clip into position, would have been easie...

in the meantime, I'm making a new seat cushion from this old foam sofa base. cut to size first...

Hi Bob, sounds like you had a lot to deal with, so what is the classic you have now with bright new shiney paintwork? the shed is moving along slowly now the main part is done. Just fitted the two workbenches in there. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1310/13786625/24842515/414284201.jpg the drivers...

Thanks for that Cheery Christmas post there Bob. Alice has been busy these last few weeks, carrying timber to make the new shed workshop, just large enough to get a moggie in. http://i68.tinypic.com/1dyd52.jpg it's far from completed, still the insulation and inner panels to fit, but Alice has a bro...

thanks Bob, Tinker he is.

when you have a few hours to yourself it's nice to just, go for a drive, finding that winding country lane and just seeing where it leads you.

oh yes Les, maybe some time till it needs a replacement.

here's a link to part two viewtopic.php?f=28&t=27320

and another update just to keep things in perspective... alice with a new Carb, runs better than ever.

Moggie trouble of a different kind, A sensible little Mr Furry Someone would have put one paw in and gone around the other way, oh no, not Tink, he looks like he's auditioning for strictly come dancing, In my fresh Cement!

Cheers Bob, been a while, so much use for Alice, running building supplies, she's a sand and cement truck, she's soon to be a cobblestone carrier. She's done her time carrying a cement mixer. With the new Carb fitted, she takes it all in her stride.

haven't posted in a while, busy with the house move to our bungalow. Alice was soooo handy during the move, not only trips for property into storage, but the Bungalow was a dooer upper. Massive overgrown garden, major refurb, Alice has been worth her weight in gold throughout the whole process, but ...

the ip might have been refering to this one...
