New bits #11
Received a package from Alfa-Service in Germany. Very friendly service and well priced. I could have made a rear parcel shelf from a template, but this one is very nice, pre-drilled and with the right mounting hooks. The sun-visors are very cool...
1750 GTV – March 2011
Visited Sam’s workshop, and he’s finished repairing the right-hand inner sills and A and B pillars. The B-pillar repair section from Classic Alfa looks very good.

I blasted and painted the trunnion arm, and it’s put aside ready for new bushes and...

The right hand sill is a bit worse (see previous post), Classic Alfa delivered a B pillar repair section which will work a treat. Might see some progress on that next...
