Adam,
sounds like you have a slow burner on the go.
Tell us about your project, please. _________________ The faster the better. |

Slow burner is an exaggeration of the speed of my work.
It all started out after my last trackday when my son and I were bolting the offside driveshaft back on that had falllen off as he drove back to the pits.
While my head was underneath the car I noticed cracks/splits on the inner wing - looked on the other side and found the same.
Repairing this required the engine out which has resulted a serious OCD episode including additional bracing, engine bay respray, steering rack rebuild, suspension strip, rebuild and upgrade, brake upgrade, engine swap to a 16v on carbs and which ultimately will be followed by a full respray once the car is back on all four wheels - and all because of a few small cracks..
I have a rebuild thread on alfaowner which I will replicate and update on this forum in the coming weeks.
Thanks, Adam |

Adam,
I have seen your rebuild on AO. I remember commenting on the colour as it would seem that a few people couldn't quite work things out in the photos! As you say there was a bit of OCD, but I can see the logic. I remember the car looking really good in the photos.
Do you have an idea of when you are likely to be back out in it. I have just realised that my next trip for a trackday at Cadwell is 225 miles away. Bum is going to be sore driving all that way in the track car, and I will only have just arrived! _________________ The faster the better. |

I was hoping to get it road worthy for Cadwell but it's unlikely as at my pace there aren't enough weekends between now and then.
I may go up to have a good look at the ex - Alfaowner Collectives Suds and 33s and pick up a few tips. |

Adam,
remind me where you are based - something tells me you are either near me, or perhaps near to where I used to live.
Just curious if you happen to be in my neck of the woods....? _________________ The faster the better. |

Mett up with AdamH today to collect some parts off him. Really nice guy.
He was telling me about his Sud project.
I bought A lightweight flywheel off him. Will weigh the difference shortly and post it up here, just as a bit of a record and see if it solicits any comments. _________________ The faster the better. |
