[Staowners] Mal's Summer Project

[Richard Fritz]

Hi Mal.  The color you described for your Alpine sounds nice.  What color
interior are you considering?  I'd like to see some photos of the work so
far and others as progress is being made during the coming weeks.  By the
time your finished with the restoration the car's value should command 6
digits, if you use digits in Australia. :-)
I just bought an Alpine Number Plate Lens and lens gasket from Bamforths.
Mine was original and rather weary so I'm looking forward to receiving the
new one.  I'm also looking for an OEM steering wheel or the name of a good
steering wheel restorer.  I have bias ply 6.50/16 tires that I would like to
replace with radial ply tires.  Do you have any suggestions for purchasing 9
cm white wall tires?
We have had a beautiful fall season in the Northeast so far.  We are gently
moving into winter and the weather predictions for the next 6 months are
favorable.  To take advantage of the nice weather, I've had my Alpine out on
several trips through the hills of PA and NJ to enjoy the open road and the
fall festivals in the area.  Everywhere I go in my Alpine I draw many people
with questions and comments.  I think that one of the greatest satisfactions
in Sunbeam ownership is telling people about the history of the car and
enabling them to understand what pride in ownership really means.
Keep us posted on your masterpiece in progress.
Best regards
