New workshop in use (FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!)

alsaautomotive · 02-18-2008, 09:06 AM

Well, we got there eventually

marlin · 02-18-2008, 09:55 AM

Very nice Al, beats my single garage stuffed with bikes and lawnmowers

Saint Bastage · 02-18-2008, 11:55 AM

Congrats Al. That seems a lot of space for a chassis, a body, and 3 cars. Where's the card table, refrigerator, 50" Plasma, Scuderia flag, etc... It needs a more "man homey" look.

archiegibbs · 02-18-2008, 12:09 PM

Al, looks superb mate, but not as good as the F cars in there.
Hope it all goes well and the jobs keep coming in, you deserve it mate.
Best wishes Arch.

Andrew · 02-18-2008, 09:25 PM

Al,

Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

t1fosI · 02-24-2008, 01:19 PM

It is looking good Al - well done :thumbup: - build it and they will come!!

Malcqv · 02-24-2008, 01:22 PM

Looks great Al.

t1fosI · 03-07-2008, 02:22 PM

The subtle re-vamp to the website is looking good Al!!

alsaautomotive · 03-07-2008, 11:02 PM

Wasn't sure whether anyone would notice

It's a bit neater & makes a bit more sense I think - I do like things in order!!!!!!
(Yes I do have all of my CD's alphabetically stored

)

Boxer · 03-08-2008, 11:17 PM

Looks great.

archiegibbs · 03-09-2008, 12:22 PM

The website and galleries are much better now Al.
What are you working on at the moment? Anything exotic coming in?

AutObsessions · 03-09-2008, 03:28 PM

Very nice, looks roomy!!!

alsaautomotive · 03-10-2008, 10:50 AM

Cheers all:thumbup:
This is what we have in at the moment.................
With a Daytona, 'E' Type & an early 911 coming in soon.
The CV8 is coming along (slowly!!!!!!)

t1fosI · 03-10-2008, 12:09 PM

What is the 348 (TS?) in for Al?

archiegibbs · 03-10-2008, 12:33 PM

Al, I hope you are painting that 348 a nicer colour. Don't know why, but yellow doesn't suit a 348 but it does a 355.

If you've just painted it yellow - sorry, I'll shut up and go now

alsaautomotive · 03-10-2008, 12:59 PM

The 348 is currently several shades of yellow!!!!!
That's basically what we're sorting out - & returning the satin black to the lower skirt areas, a little rust on the arches & sill edges (despite it having less than 5000 miles on it) & realigning the doors.
I rather like it in yellow

.
We have a black Berlinetta to do later in the year though which may be more to your taste

The 308 next to it is the one we repainted late last year - we're doing all of the satin black & zinc plating on the switchgear, ashtray etc - I think he's going to be having the interior done so wanted to get this lot sorted first.

alsaautomotive · 03-23-2008, 04:10 AM

Another ready to go

Pete04222 · 03-23-2008, 06:02 AM

Looking great Al!!!

Boxer · 03-23-2008, 07:10 AM

Wow. Looks magnificant.

archiegibbs · 03-23-2008, 07:54 AM

Stunning Al, I'm sure you'll have another satisfied customer and lots more referrals.
