Hi Marc,

Man that car of yours is just illegaly stunning.

thank you all!
i try to do the four seater conversion
hope it works
@fernando; it is only the beginning as you have already seen at barry's place.

Marc I can only imagine how the baby of yours is going to motor with Barry's 3.7 nestling nicely inside that engine bay.

Tell me,are you also going to opt for a full 76mm exhaust system with yours ?

Oh yea!....

yes!!as barry already replied

hi all,
some updates on the proces...
the engine from barry arrived
pfff, unpacking this will take you half a day
everything was packed with nice glassfibre reinforced tape.....
finally after unpacking the stuff it realy looked FANTASTIC.
even the aluminium radiator has the exact shape of the original but is very light.

thank you barry.

btw the car has been legally aproved as a 3+1 (???) after the rearseat conversion

..

Man....forget 164Q4's.. THIS is the car American Alfisti should be clamoring for!

I'm guessing the Milano rear seats had to be trimmed up by the shoulder area to fit? Your car is going to be awesome..I'm assuming the rear leg room will be about like a GTV-6 then?

Tell me, does the SZ just have shorter overhangs, or was the actual wheel base shortened?

Please take pictures of your spindles/hubs when you do the brake conversion. I want to see what trick stuff the SZ has.

Thanks for the pics and I hope you upload more!

One more question,

Is this a car that would be hard to deal with on a day to day basis? Are there any leaks you have to worry about? What parts are impossible to get?

I'm assuming parking in a parking lot would be quite frightening with the body work..

PS, if suspension is in the works, go to Intrax's website (supplier for Ron Simons kit). They have stuff developed for the SZ!

marc,

Do you have a PS rack from a 75? I definitely want the 164 pump and bracket that is your photo which Barry made.

@grant:this car is easely drivable every day and dents are impossible as it is a plastic car.only the rz is leaking when it rains.
the powersteering pump is from a 164 ,told barry and the support he made himself.
the most difficult parts to get a hold of are the headlights..but i still have a big pile of spares..
the chassis is a shortened milano chassis and the suspension is perfect,i am not touching it.
the car is so low that the front spoilerlip was already gone after a short while.

gearbox assembly which i bought in england and arrived broken on the two sides
it was no insurrance , i had to accept it like it was.
is this reparable???

Marc,

If you have a spare SZ starter, please sell me one. Or if you do see a used one for sale at a reasonable price, buy one for me please.

rz

I have a spare transaxle shell I am happy to donate to you for free. You will need to take care of the freight.

As you know I am in Australia.

PM me if you are interested

Cheers, MD

If you know a good welder he can probably weld it for you, especially since you have all the bits. you can always try it. "niet geschoten is altijd mis" (dutch saying, if you don't shoot you'll always miss. )

Is it a SZ/RZ gearbox or a 75? if its a RZ/SZ item it's probably a little bit different from a 75 casing since it has an oilpump and cooler. I don't really understand why you had to accept this damage.
