Hello and good evening,
Thank you so much for your interest and all of your inputs and compliments, what a response! In fact, this is my learning project and the very first car I ever restore. If I could start that Alfa thing all over again, I'd definately change a thing or two.. :wink2: with the money and time I am likely to spend right now, I could probably get me a crisp stepnose project (my dream..) and have it restored by now! But I think the expenses are compensated with a steep learning curve.
I am seriously thinking about converting this very car with stepnose panels since for some reason the year of manufacture is dated 1968 (instead of 1974) in all documents, the car is by no means 'original' anymore and - most important - getting a reasonably priced stepnose project is almost impossible right now. The car would then feature a stepnose appearance with the late 'high' rear wheel arches, hanging pedals, 2000 engine with rear axle and brakes, hydraulic clutch, early glass fibre dashboard and custom interiors.
I am still unsettled, maybe you have a suggestion for me?
Project wise, I installed the floors and integrated the rear engine mounts. I upgraded my workshop with a spotweld device, a huge improvement I don't want to miss anymore. Following is the alignment of the inner sills to specifications. The plan is still working (so far) :smile2:
Best,
Kevin
