If I’m free, I’ll pop over for the event

Cheers Jamie

Kersey Mill Classic Car Breakfast Meet has become increasingly popular with a wide variety of 200 plus cars on display. My idea is for us to park our cars together (if possible) at this venue, enjoy the event, then take about a 30 minute drive through the beautiful Suffolk countryside via the historic village of Lavenham ending up at a nearby village pub for lunch. While the breakfast meet starts at 9.00 invariably I arrive arround 10.00. If anyone is interested in going please respond with numbers required for lunch no later than June 20th.

Hello everyone,

I have recently purchased a 1998 Broom Yellow 2.0 20 V.I.S Coupe which has been dry stored in an outside garage for 4 years, as it failed the MOT and was put away, as the previous owner could not find the time to maintain it/ bring it back.

I intend to revitalise my lemon-obile, doing as much as I can myself and learning as I go, stripping it down, so that I know when I done her she will be Factory New with a low float.

The engine does start and run but that is as much as I have tested as there is no fuel in the tank.

There is a lot to do on the MOT but this did not sway my purchase as I am up for the challenge and am eager to occupy my time (I may regret saying this )

I would say the main issue faced will be rust as I will have to replace the sills and fix the rear wheel arches (structural works) .

Attached are pictures of the car in its current state

Thanks

Peter

Set up a chargeable number. Many do it and to some who get spam calls it's worth a couple of K a year.

Hi Paul,

Thanks!

Yes, I also have the one from Cybox and on long journeys it's very boomy.
I'm looking into fitting the ragazzon because of the second silencer they have, but they are also very expensive.

Been a long time without doing much, but now it’s almost ready for its MOT

So I’ve fitted a complete set of OEM fuel lines as I had to make a repair after the fuel pump saga a while ago, albeit the line that goes from the tank to the fuel filter is leaking from the fitting, which is irritating but I’ll have another pipe to try next week

I’ve fitted the Alfa GTA sub frame braces and made good the floor area that gets damaged when people jack the car in the wrong place

Also changed the heater matrix and seals, as I had a small leak. This is a crap job to do just because of the location and getting comfortable access to it, but it’s done now

When I had the interior out for the subframe work, I’ve stripped the old sound deadening and put some fresh stuff in

Then sagging headliner has been replaced with a new fabric. Again whilst the seats etc are out, this was pretty straightforward to do

When I had the cambelt drama I took Joes advice and changed the big end shells, however the sump is fiddly to do and I had a small leak, so I’ve just redone the sump, so fingers crossed I’ve done it right now

I’m working on a couple of mods to improve the interior bits and also exploring making a custom lower subframe brace, to really make the front end rigid

I have driven the car briefly to test work done and can confirm the GTA braces do make a difference, but it’s a fair bit of work to do correctly and serviceable for the future

Cheers Jamie

Hello everyone
I have this 2001 20 valve turbo year 2001 since new . Driving it occasionally. Thoroughly enjoyed over 25 years of ownership here in Malaysia…
.
Maintenance has not been a problem until i suffered a master brake cylinder leak … and power windows regulator malfunction
.
I’ve been trying to find the correct replacement part for the master brake cylinder but was informed by the local supplier that fiat stopped producing the parts . They told me to get it modified ? . I am clueless at the moment…
.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated… ?
.

Welcome back!

Its interesting to note that its slim pickings for Coupe's advertised for sale. That's been a general trend for some time now.

We have all been saying that workable coupe's would dry up at some point. Some point maybe here now.

Let us know how the hunt for a new coupe, goes!

Regards

MM

Fingers crossed for a positive result Edinburgh!!!
