UPDATE !!
Paid a visit to the LKQ to get a few things from the Sunbeam Alpine Fastback.....
What a mess! Someone had gone through the Alpine and destroyed a lot of the parts.
The dash and interior were ripped apart with gauges pulled out and busted. I was able to save one (Speedometer) maybe.
Removed the turn signal switch. The steering covers were busted into several pieces (I tried to find all of them) but don't know why.
The grilles was gone. The tail lights were busted but the frames were still intact even though pitted badly. I did not remove them, for that reason. Anyone wanting them please advise.
Removed the thermostat housing which was fair with some corrosion.
I removed the Fuel pump which was complete but bowl has a minor chip (still serviceable) However it could/should be rebuilt.
Pulled the oil adapter.
Almost pulled the Alternator!!
Got the radiator which looks to be a good stock unmolested one. Probably have it recored for a V6 Conversion project should it be needed for such.
Removed the interior door handles and a couple window cranks handles (Fair condition) that can be good replacements should anyone need them.
Exterior Door handles looked very nice still with good chrome.
Trunk Knob and latch assembly was in good condition, but I left it. Anyone ???
Got the fuel tank which look very good, solid and clean. It is much larger than I thought it would be. It has the fuel sender also.
Removed the front and rear arm rest ( they are in good condition). Looked long and hard at the other pieces of upholstery, but it was in very sorry condition. Lots of water damage and abuse from people tearing into it for no apparent reason other than to see what was under or behind it. The seats were very solid frame wise but the upholstery was torn and ragged.
Wheels, rims, wheels dressings were all sadly in very deplorable condition.
The Oil pan was steel not aluminum!
The master cylinder was very rusty, don't believe worthy of recovering either.
All of the glass was very nice! Might be worth an attempt to keep for spares should anyone want them. Most of the window trim was still intact and very shiny.
Tries to get the E-brake handle and cable assembly but it was very rusty in a few places too.
The side reflectors (little rectangles) both red and yellow I pulled also. They are decent "drivers"....
I also pulled the seat belts, even though they were somewhat soiled.
The tach was damaged badly from where it had been forced out of the dash. I left it there. Might go back for it just in case there might be some value?
Tried to remove the two bumper pieces that wrap around from the back and run toward the rear wheel. One was damaged slightly (Fixable) but could not get the other one off due to extensive damage to the main portion of the rear bumper.
Iron Head !
Starter was there also!
Removed the two backup lights, one was complete in fair to good condition. The other had a lens missing and the inside (reflector shield) was rusted very badly. Might be able to save, sure hope so.
