    Just for laughs

    We have indeed! The links are long longer active, but I'm pretty sure this discussion is from when it was on ebay in 2017: https://forum.sunbeamalpine.org/index.php?threads/strangest-ebay-ad-ever.25366/ And, on CraigsList shortly afterwards...

    2.8 v6 for sale cheap

    "Also selling the accompanying 4-speed Borg-Warner manual transmission" So, presumably you could negotiate a deal to include the elusive bell housing.

    Side Mirrors

    I confess that I like the look of the fender mounted mirrors and always intended to ask the group about its experiences and preferences. I have a pair of Delswift antenna mirrors that I've thought about using on my S3 when I get to that point. (The photo below is from eBay and the best I could...

    NAPA auto parts ripoff

    I bought some spark plugs from NAPA online 3 years ago and picked them up at a local store. It was a major pain in the butt and the NAPA guy told me they were not really set up for online purchases and local pickup. I would have thought that would have been fixed by now, but it should have...

    Sunbeam 2000 build

    As I recall (this was at least 12 years ago, probably more) I just found it at one of the big auto parts stores, probably AutoZone. I don't remember doing anything special, just buying one that looked about right and it was. I just measured my mirror and it seems to be 3 5/8", but I wouldn't...

    Sunbeam 2000 build

    I have one on my SV (the new one that SS sells) and it was originally almost worthless but I was able to 'replace' the flat mirror with a stick-on convex one that dramatically improved the view and it has been more than sufficient for the last dozen years or so. SS sells them with flat or...

    Transmission Output Shaft for Overdrive

    I like the way you are thinking, but suspect the final costs of procuring and modifying the later transmission might be more than the costs of going with something like a T5, which is almost definitely a stronger transmission. But, lets see where things go.

    SAOCA Invasions

    First and foremost, good luck on your surgery Bill! I hope everything goes well and wish you a speedy recovery. As for your original question, I wish I knew the answer, other than that I am 100% confident that it has nothing to do with you. The annual national Invasion was always one of the...

    S1 Alpine rear drums wanted

    The photos Bernd posted are great as far as early/late differences I am familiar with, but I don't recall ever hearing that there is a wire/disc difference. I know I changed my SV from wires to bolt on hubs without changing the drums. Were there ever any difference or is this just an old...
