    SIII Steering Column Leaking fluid

    DanR - worried about brake fluid but haven’t figured out how that could be possible in that location. Very strange place for me to be getting fluid at all so I’m continuing to try to hunt it down.

    1960 Hillman Husky engine parts

    Wire Wheel resources

    I may not get to the wheels this year - but with new paint in the car it will be hard not to. Any resources in the NE for wires? Thinking they should be stripped, tried, and repainted? Other advice?

    Series 3 Engine Compartment finishes

    We're getting closer to getting the car back from paint so cleaning and prepping a lot of parts. To make it more challenging we've never seen another Alpine "in the flesh" so scrounging web pictures for reference points. Not going for concourse but want to be as correct as possible. Looking...
