Either of use?

Hi Frank, not really no, 1st is a bump spring off the top of the front damper 2nd is a lower mainspring for the front axle, I really need both rear leaf springs and a complete or near complete front axle, I do have a front axle but its really not good, the axle tube is heavily corroded as are the stub axles, its also incomplete so a complete unit would be a far easier solution, thanks for looking though  :)

They had advertised fronts too, but I think these are supposed to be rears....?!...there is an axle, looks more rear than front......will put up

that's  what im looking for, its a front, rear is just a conventional live axle on leaf springs, never used that site before, how do you buy off it?? pretty sure it would cost a fortune to get sent over here as its no lightweight  ;D

I suppose James, best to wait until you've exhausted all other UK avenues, then and only then cough up for one of theses babies, am sure if you maybe ask off the French Lancisiti it would more easily be obtained if none in UK


Make contact, see what price they want then put your faith in them....once any weight costs a fortune to freight, there are shipping companies but likely dear too

On reflection, doesn't Ron, do some runs to Italy from time to time, worth a phone call?

Re: bought another one!!!

Way to go James !!!!!!!!!!!

you can never have too many Augustas  ;)

set off at 7.30 am this morning to collect the augusta, after 2 break downs in the van we finally made it and collected the car, a tad rough but ideal for what I want to do, i'm going to put it together on Monday as its totally stripped so before anything goes awol I want to see what I've got, anyone got any spare rear wings?? condition really not important

Great....the fleet expands just a tad more......will await the pics, any luck with sourcing other bits you needed?

P

yep, wings sourced, axle sourced , steeringbox sourced, engine well that's another story, have a few choices to toy with, I asked phil that works for me today what he thought of it, his reply was STOP THE CHEQUE!!! :o , I personally don't think its that bad, will take some pics when I get chance

I've seen it , it looks more like a car than some of the other projects ..... easy one !

Likewise - I have faith and can't wait to see the progress.

its amazing how bad some of these projects look in photo's, I tend to look at whats good on a project rather than whats bad.........less depressing ;)
