Well, the fact I have nothing to do on it?

Other then driving it, I like to tinker, detail and improve but having done some minor cosmetics, AC pump and the exhaust already I find my day off not having anything to do.

I think I need another project.

What's the story with the Opel GT - is it a runner?

Yes, its all good. It does need the shell stripping, some non genuine panels replacing, respraying and putting back together but I don't want to start anything major as we are looking to move.

That's the thing with the GTS/Strad and more modern Masers they are not like the older coupes which need constant attention and niggles ironing out.

Yes I have and never had the balls to have a go. It's having the bumper and pod bonnet done in the new year so I'll do that then.

I know of a really nice Alfa GTV 3.0 Busso that needs a little TLC if you fancy it. Black with red leather.

95k miles, mega history, some tasteful engine mods (re-map, carbon air box, fancy steel exhaust), about to get a full respray and leather restored. You could easily spend lots of time detailing the engine bay and underside (although it is waxolyed) and really making it special. Goes really well. Has diamond cut as below with Goodyear Eagle F1s all round. It's a nice car but could be really really nice if you wanted to potter. Detailed engine with nice finish on the plenum etc would make it superb. I think he wants around 5k.images.jpeg

time for a new watch.... trust me, its saves not only time money and emotions, but finances as well. buy an AP/VC/GP/PP/PM-Rolex and enjoy that.

OK, my AC needs a few jobs done, new headlights fitted, new boost and coolant hoses, engine bay General tidy up. I'll swap you, while you do all that, for the Strad, then swap back when your done :) Win win, what's not to like? ;)

Need to remove a headlight and haven't got the bottle. Damage would result in a very expensive part.

Excuse me for saying this and I'm sure others may be upset, but 'I don't get watches' sure they're nice to have round your wrist and look pretty but 'enjoy' ... I need something more dynamic.
