Hi just joined! I have as per my user name a step front 1968 Alfa 105 GTA "homage" based on a 1300 GT junior but with various nice bits and 2 litre Nord fitted. Previous classics were Sunbeam Lotus and a Lola T70 replica ( Gardner Douglas) with a 6 litre LS6 lump that I built.
Currently carrying out a mini restoration to the Alfa as it's been standing a while having been professionally restored about ten years ago by a previous owner.
Hoping to get to a few shows once it's reliable and running!

Hi guys! My names Sandro, from Edinburgh. Stopped by to see a nice, active forum, which is a rare treat these days! Hoping to see some real nice stuff, and maybe a bit of inspiration too! Here's my car (from a few years ago) It's been in storage for about 7 years, since I moved to Edinburgh. I kept it at my dads place because I couldn't bare to leave it on the street in the city. Then I started my own business, so I've had no time, or money, to work on it. So it was kinda forgotten, left til I had some time. I've had a bit more time recently, so I dug it out and got it running. I've actually been trying to get it going for about 3 years, turns out the main earth strap had corroded to a point when it no longer earthed and the ECU got fried. Took a while to diagnose and fix since I really only visit the folks a few times a year. Anyway here it is now! Still looks pretty good, if I say so myself! I little rust on the bonnet, other than that it's as I left it. It's an 1990 8v GTI. I did a home rebuild on the engine just after I bought it. Changed the 1.8 bottom end for a 2.0. And a few other bits and pieces. Over 10k miles and still hanging in there.
Cheers!

Thank you Grizz for you kind words!! But the part about Andre Rieu is not really clear?? As far as I know he and his orchestra regularly perform in Limburg. That is correct! You're a fan,i presume? Since you said" awesome home" i took a few pictures yesterday. Since i live in it,it's pretty "normal" to me,but not so much to other people who only visit sometimes,including my parents. So i will start a thread tonight,on general board,and see what you think (and the rr-posse)!! I like your house-interior-garden-shed a lot,have read everything about your fleamarket finds...awesome and a fantastic attitude towards life-fun-pets... Gonna start working on the thread now!! Greeeetzzzz Grizzz!!
