Good job done :P Not as much panel/wing replacement that your initial thoughts suggested. In fact the wings being in tact was a bonus :wink: Looks like a real Firenza now!

I went to see this car when it was for Sale in Nottigham last year. I was interested but was out bidded on ebay. The bloke who bought was driving it back to Scotland and the head gasket went. He replaced it but i believe it is common that they go on the Carlton engine. But should be fine now that he replaced it. Looks good and it looked good when the chrome bumper was removed. Good job

To be honest I wish I could get a hold of the bloke just to ask questions.
I have plans with her to either put a 2.3 slant in or a vauxhall red top, just not sure yet.
The gearing is a bit on the high side at present but its liveable.

The guy in Nottigham had i a long time and did the mods I am sure he would not mind you contacting him. Try find his address from the history of the car i am sure you can. I think he would be interested in how it is geting on )

So tha magard front will fit over the existing wings?... I did wonder.

As it happens I am going the other way, and planning to fit a Magard snoot. (Darth is anything but original, so it's just my warped sense of taste that's dictating this) So I am wondering if you still have the perspex headlight covers? Would save me a job.

And nice seats... What are they from? I'd like a set.

They are seats from an alfa GTV.
