Arghhhhhhh.

It hasn't stopped raining for 2 weeks now, and I have done very little to the Alfa. I am so annoyed with myself. Why did I not wait until next spring before starting the conversion?

I am hoping and praying for a couple of dry days, so as I can finalise bolting the front suspension and steering back together, to enable all four wheels being placed on terra-firma, rather than being 600mm up in the air.

Hopefully, I will post some pics of my progress, when the camera starts to behave itself again. (SOON)

GIVE ME STRENGTH.......................

There are 2 Kamm-tail Spiders for sale near Glasgow (UK). One is an American import which is partially stripped, with 99% of the parts inside or in the boot. This one is rust free and solid.

The other is famous, in the fact that it was in the local newspaper, for self combusting, just a wee while after it was purchased from a local classic dealer for the princely sum of £8000.00. This car was immaculate, and came from South Africa, and is right hand drive. The interior is cremated, the doors are burned, but the front and rear of the poor thing are reasonably unscathed.

The vendor is looking for £500.00 for both, which seems reasonable to me, either to make one good car from the two, or for parts.

(If I had space, they would be mine....Oh yes, they would be mine)
