proccO I don't know what to say, I really don't. Here's hoping a big financial windfall befalls you and your back to your old cheeky Coupe loving self. Like the others say, mates is mates and there's always a beer on the table for you.

Gutted for you Steve, I know it will have been a decision you've arrived at through no lack of consideration. FWIW I also think you've made the right call in ditching that coop. Looked but the damn thing was cursed. Hope you still around on here, as many ex-coopsters do, and show your face on some socials and DEFINITELY come to Spa. You'd be welcome to come out as a passenger and travel down with me? Let me know mate.

Really sorry to hear about this, Proccy I can fully understand why you have made your decision though. Make sure you stay around ... there are plenty of us 'alumni' around here It'd be great to see you in the passenger seat of my Westie at a track day soon

Proccy, I really feel for you...but I think you've made the right decision.
I went through the same with my last Alfa.....no matter how much I spent and how good it looked...the Bitch always bit back.......
Good luck, take a break and then come back and enjoy another one when you're ready.

One of the forum members I've wanted to meet but never had the chance. Despite not knowing you personally it'd be sad to see you go. Stick around DittoSteve, sad news for all the teasers

It's an understandable point your at Steve. No doubt a sorted example will bring you back. Rust will get them all eventually and will test us all. Stick around though.

It must be bad if this isn't enough: Arrggh, I wish I'd made you take me as a on the passenger seat again this year,
Seriously though dude this is really bad news, but I can understand perfectly why you'd lose heart. Such a stunning looking Coupé too, what a terrible shame

Steve - only just got on the forum, can't believe this day has come I really hope when you have reflected that a) you will stick around on the forum and b) come to Spa purely for the beers, jumpers, etc. Very surprised your car has rust issues, she looked so good with that respray

Its odd that the rust has never been noticed before especially in the body shop before the respray? Any ideas where it is? To think a car like yours has suffered from rust makes me very worried. Dont worry proccy will be cornered, gagged and tied up Then the next day we will convince him to come to spa

Sorry to read this Steve - only met you the once at Bassets Pole on the way to the Star City some years ago and there was no sign then it would end like this.
You've had some lousy luck and a lot of us will say "there but for the grace of God" I guess.
I had nothing but fun from my two Coupes but we all know there's a horror story or two from owners who ain't been so lucky. I've been where you are with an Integrale 8v which almost bled me dry and made me want to post something like your original on this thread (there weren't forums in those days though).
Anyway, good luck whatever road you go down - but carry on sniffing around on here. This thread proves there are a lot of good people worth staying in touch with.

Oh no Proccy - who will my kids beat up when I finally manage to arrange to go to another meet?
Sad day fella, sweet looking car, sweet sounding car sound guy.
Buy a 16v and run that - then you can still do all the things you ever wanted but much more reliably!!

quick question if i may?
i haven't seen the rust yet but from what JBT describes it's pretty horrendous and extensive - my question is, should it have been spotted at MOT time (17th Feb this year!!) and an advisory (at least) issued with the MOT?

I suppose if its bad enough to now make the car pretty much unrepairable (from a cost point of view) then I can only imagine that they should have picked up at least an advisory.
