Amber_Nunny Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Alva is simply wonderfullThanks! So Alva ran out of MOT yesterday so is off the road now It's not all bad though as she'll be getting an engine rebuild once I move house next month I'm going to miss driving her as my daily but I really can't put anymore mile on the clock.I'm hoping to have her ready for UD next year with a nice sprakly clean engine bay...fingers crossed!

Amber_Nunny Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm missing Alva rather a lot - think it's mainly because she looks so sad and unloved on my drive at the minute Been looking through some old photos...I think I miss my tints!Anyway, I'm FINALLY moving house next Thursday so after that Alva will be in the garage with her engine out if all goes well!

Amber_Nunny Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 So finally a bit of an update....Moving house put a hold on all car plans plus Christmas meant reduced funds however, I have now got sorted so its time to start on rebuilding Alva's engine I cleaned out the garage and finally put Alva inside!Also, I've finally started to finish polishing my Fondmetals Oh and some car group posted up this picture earlier, made me happy to see Alva looking all shiny and pretty I'll try to keep updating on the engine rebuild progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arosaproject Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Looking good amber.Do you know roughly what your rebuild will cost? I'm looking at doing itCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks.Erm I did add it all up a while ago. I think I guessed about £450 for just the engine work, thats with all of the parts and head work.My bills going to be a bit more though as i'm doing the brakes, the clutch, new exhaust etc I figured might as well do it all whilst we're doing some major work Hope that helps a bit!

Amber_Nunny Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 So todays progress...Oh no - someone's stole my engine!!! There it is!Broken Sad AlvaSump offFinal result!Big thanks to my amazing boyfriend for being a great mechanic - I'd be stuffed without him!!So I defo need to get some cleaning started now, otherwise no more progress can happen I've got some big ideas for Alva in 2013!Whilst the engines out I'm getting everything cleaned up, as well as replacing some bits with nice new shiny parts.I'm painting the gearbox and engine block, plus I'm trying to think of a good design for my engine cover.Once under the bonnets done I need to start concentrating on the outside - need to get saving pennies for my respray and finish polishing my Fondmetals!2013 is going to be a busy year - determined to have a shiny and almost new car for in 2014!!
