I'm not sure I will ever be able to truly join you as an owner, but I have been reading the message board, and wanted to introduce myself. I started reading...
Your Europa is not at the peak of anything right now. In the future, it will be worth more, as there are few Elans around, and the most basic restoration of a...
Hi, Thanks for your reply. The suggestion of getting a Spritget and disassembling it as a first step is an excellent one. A good way to ease into a project,...
I have been working on a Europa Twin Cam restoration for a friend at a local shop. I figure that he will have around $35,000 in the restoration alone. When you...
I've had my kit 6 months now and am still very happy with it. It is by far a much better thing than any kit car I have seen. The problems with the kit have...
The engine problems are unfortunate. How well your engine build goes together really depends on the machinist. I use Mark DeGroff in Northridge California. He...
Machining wasn't the problem, getting the parts, as noted, was. Virtually all the new parts were sourced from Moss, Mini Mania, or Victoria British. Lots of...
The intake that I have is a maniflow that appears to be a 5". I don't see any problem with going a little longer, so long as the manifold is one of the flat...
Thanks for the information on the manifolds and carb. I've not given much thought yet on the linkage so any pictures or help will be especially appreciated....

... state? ... It varies state to state. And it is not easy to find on their various web sites. Another one that has tripped up some folks is minimum headlight...
Not as big a deal as you might think. Nobody says that you need to register the car as a new car, which has to match all new car standards. It is essentially...
Hi: Where in Chicagoland are you? I am building an XI/XV replica "Invincible II" out in Crystal Lake. Although it is not a Westfield, I follow this forum for...
I recently purchased my car from a private seller in California who had owned the car for many years and drove it on the street often. In this car's case it...
