Well , iv got the first car up and running, its the Alfa 158. Its looking a little uncared for at the moment, iv adapted one of my old Pre-add shells to represent the pre-war version, its taken quite a bit to modify the grill to look similar plain vertical arrangement as was the earlier cars. the side mounted exhaust was removed and the orifice in the body filled in as the original cars had the exhaust below the bodywork. What with primer adorning the front of the car and the smoothing of the body work its a little multi colored but that will be sorted. It seems to run quite well, but getting your head around the fact that its only an 18 k motor after racing with more lively unites takes some getting used to. So its only the "pretty" bits to be sorted now. the coming weeks will be spent getting the Masa 8clt up and running then its off to warmer climes to join the rest of the entrants to rely on lady luck , fingers crossed.
