Wow this is a mega project. Turning into a proper “Triggers Broom” car, love it.

“Triggers Broom Car” Indeed!

I must admit - I did get a little carried away, but the car will be near on showroom condition, and another bucket list item ticked off the list.

Interesting point about the Sytner plate - will google it.

The body shop are relishing the job given all external parts wil be brand new and oem.

The chassis overhaul is going to be epic, and again all oem parts are going on the car.

I believe we have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING including all the suspension bolt ons such as coil pads etc...

The brakes were not forgotten as you know with custom callipers with new bushes, guide bolts, retainer clips, protective plates, new hoses, pads and carrier bolts.

Oh, the wheels are going off the lepsons with New centre cap emblems, O ring seals and key lock caps.

It has been educational learning about all the changes Alpina made
to the car.

Did I mention a full re trim is also taking place.

I must admit, the wait is now going to be tough.

She will be ready for the Silverstone Classic.

Great thread. Although not shown on the website I think Pukar Designs do number plates.
