Worlds longest Resto, my C2 2.7 19/3/18 Vent guage action

[pukar]

well, at least you lined up your caps, badges and valves good sir!

Also in other news i'm going to take it to the ring on a trackday in May! Why not give me a chance to finally properly bond with it on a long road trip and use it properly after all these years and hardwork, will help me like it!

You're a brave man taking it to the ring after all the work you've put in to this car, but it need to be enjoyed otherwise what's the point.

Fantastic car you've done a superb job.

True but bollocks, its pay back time for my effort. Its on the drive again in a million pieces and if i wasn't a million quid into it i'd sell it but i am very stubborn!

[Jesus325iTouring]

Admirable Simon, and pleased you are going to use it and not keep as some ponced up garage queen. You have built so enjoy it

[Simon13]

nearly all in and fitted in a million pieces still but sorting niggles

Good to see this on the road again how's the track day gone?

[Andy325i]

Nice work Simon, as you say they are never finished, but hopefully one day we can get some use out of them

glad to see i ain't the only one,

it's the (never ending) snagging list that seems to cause the most problems.
will all be worth it in the end.

I didn't take it to the ring in the end it all got too much so went in my e46 wagon instead - still alpina! I changed the sump gasket but its still there after i put it all back together. So i need to sum up the motivation to take the gearbox off again to change something else thats causing the leak!

Crankshaft rear seal is up or the housing cracked or something. If i could start the engine with no gearbox on it that would help me massively. I've done a load of other work along the way like stereo and alpina vent guage work which i need to update as its good stuff!

Hi Simon, and welcome back to the "new" Zone where you will have a field day posting pics.

Mart.

Winter wash, drove it round the block to dry it off and then put it away! Thought i'd try this picture lark....

[martauto]

Very nice indeed, is that your e46 sport ?
