What does your Europa look like *today* ?

[Bainford]

Oh, that is looking great! Nice colours. Looking forward to seeing more.

More garage time today, spring is finally here.

Air horns done, out with the points...some dinner, and a nap before final practice and qualy in China.

Good to see a fire suppression system.  Looks to be a gas system.  Halon?

I had forgotten about this thread and I never did post any full pictures of 2069r, so here are a few just to get with the program.

Lou, those are great additions and your engine compartment is one to be envious of!

George, she's looking very nice! I have always thought the TC cast wheels is one of the prettiest anywhere. Yours look especially clean!

[EuropaTC]

George, are your seats re-trimmed originals or aftermarket ?

Just catching the front edge in the bottom picture, they look a very neat job.

Thanks for the complement Brian. They are the original seats that I recovered with the help of my master quilter partner. I did the easy stuff, she did the more difficult seams. It's a velour type cloth that's much more comfortable than the vinyl. I'm not a big stickler for originality but I wanted to retain the original style as much as possible.

Those seats look great! I know you'll like the cloth better than the vinyl. It breaths a LOT better and it holds your but better too!  Well done! 

[EuropaTC]

Well, whoever stitched those seams, they made a pretty good job of it !  I quite like the contrasting panels, they highlight the centre seams and make the OEM design more prominent.

Good result, I'd be proud of that one.

I’ve been showing photos of my “good” Europa, it’s time to show the next project. I’m pretty sure this one will just buff out! It also takes up way less space when you just hang it on the wall!

What a great tread
 It’s a real treat to read the responses of a wide range of members and their cars. After all this is what we all share here.

Finally got around to installing the air box I had fabricated many years ago.  For a little history, I had mocked-up the box using poster card cut up and taped together.  I then had someone where I used to work fabricated the box using my mock-up; high quality job!  At the time (early ‘80’s) I adapted a Filtron Air Filter having a blank plate with a welded tube to join up with the air box via convoluted tubing.  I also adapted a velocity stacks I found in motorcycle shop back in the day.  This all replaced then and, until recently, the Ram-Flow basket filters.  I never had the original OEM air filter set-up.  The holdup was trying to find someone to weld on a 1” extension to the air box tubing so the cone filter would clear the alternator pulley.  Even the trunk fits nicely.
