Some of you may recall hearing the story recently of the series 2 1.5 33 that was rolled end over end, well after many hours of arranging we have managed to get a series 2 out of hibernation and all the bits from the rolled car are being swapped over to it. The rolled 33 was a black 1.5 & the replacment rolling shell is a grey 1.5 with zender kit, so it's good that 1 of the 2 will survive.
This is the rolling shell to live on with all the bits from the rolled black one. Many thanks to Shrew for being the transport department with this project, couldn't have made it happen without you're 16 hour drive Shrew. _________________ 155 sportpack

The rolled one is in pretty much the same state as the rolled donor my father and I used for the Minari back in '95:

Can I ask how they managed to roll it so far into the field!
Anyway, I am hoping/guessing that whoever was in it somehow got out. |

Ha, all true, 17 year old Nicholas was driving at the time, he hit fresh Tarmac & that made the car slide across onto the grass verge & flipped it. He was fine, now between himself and daddy they are sorting it out. _________________ 155 sportpack

Well I'm the Daddy fixing this car. Welding has started and both cars are stripped. Shell to be rebuilt is in Garage for winter Whilst Nick is at Uni. We are going for it big time next summer and hope to complete the welding then. There are three possible deadlines. One when Nick has to travel as part of his degree in a couple of years or so, two for 33 years of the 33 and three when Nick graduates in 5 years.
Oh and by the way I am having to learn welding.Wish me luck.

It's surprising how strong old cars really are, I had an old '86 Audi 90 quattro up until someone did 50mph into the back of me at a set of traffic lights, needless to say it got written off with a dent and a busted rear bumper. The Toyota rav 4 came off a whole lot worse though. _________________ 1989 Alfa Romeo 75 twinspark, Alfa Romeo 33 1.5ie |
