New Member and New Alpine Owner

[CRBASIN]

I just won an ebay auction for a 1967 Alpine. The seller is LA Car collection.

I will post further information on the car when it arrives, and I am sure I will have plenty of questions.

For now:

1. Can I install three point seatbelts and would a rollbar help with this? There is one on Craigslist near me.

2. I will need a new front bumper. Any suggestions? Can anyone recommend parts suppliers?

Thanks

Hi John ... Welcome aboard! .... Was watching the auction as well ... Looks to be fairly complete. Is this your new kitten?

Congratulations on joining the alpine community. The aloinrs have mounting provision for 3 point belts from the factory so no worries there, roll bars ( likely a show bar) are not needed for this and are a personal preference for what you want to do.

A wanted add o. The forum will get you some second hand bumpers, there are stainless teptos available from Vietnam but they are not 100% correct and definitely nitvas strong in an incident so won't do their intended job.

I can make your bumper search a little easier... Front and rear bumpers are interchangable.

Welcome to the SAOCA John!

Like me, you will likely find the knowledge base of the membership, indispensable. I'm a fairly new member also, having joined just last June.

Good luck with your new toy.

Hi John,

Welcome to the community and the car appears to be a good buy.

An earlier post was correct that the front and rear bumpers are interchangeable but the brackets are different.

Trying to get a set of new bumpers a few years ago, I tried the ones that were stainless steel, never again, too flimsy.

Best to rechrome.
