I picked up the Jalpa last week. It's running a lot better. Still loading up a little when cruising street lights but I'm working on it. Evans replaced the front spindle bearings which stiffened up the ride quite a bit. I'll have to rebuild or replace the coil overs this winter.
The joy of owning a prior "Garage Queen"!
Anyhow, I'm really enjoying it! I can't stop grinning anytime I think about it sitting right outside my office door!
Im heading to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course the last weekend of June for the Vintage Races. Anyone else going?

Hi Stuart,
Congratulations on your purchase. Mine was a first also. I did respond to your question but evidently you didn't recieve the notice.
I'm refering you to Mike Hill's thread below. He is much more involved in his rebuild than I was. Review his thread for tons of information.
Mike Hill - "George gave me the following details. 55 ft lbs. which is 74.6NM MUST ME DONE IN 3 STEPS THEN REDONE 2 TIMES OVER 2 DAYS."
George is George Evans of Evans Automotive in Columbus Ohio. His shop built my engine and is seen in the video link below.
