Re: List of Berlinetta Tech Articles in Pitstop

That must have taken you a while Dave but a really useful list for Berli owners. Any chance of a similar one for the Cabrio? Peter.

Re: List of Berlinetta Tech Articles in Pitstop

It's a rehash of the index for the Tech Tips I did back in 2010...the Cabrio one is now in the Cabrio section.....and I'm working on the somewhat larger Roadster list

Hi Paul. Im very interested to hear that you are restoring a Sierra Berlinetta as that is exactly what I am doing. It would be great to see some pics or even better a build diary. You can see what I have been up to in my build diary. You and I are a select few given that only 17 Sierra Berlis were made.

Re: List of Berlinetta Tech Articles in Pitstop

Hi Scott How is the Berli rebuild coming along or is it finished ? I am weighing up relining the hardtop any suggestions ?

Re: List of Berlinetta Tech Articles in Pitstop

Hi Paul, my rebuild seems to be never ending! I keep finding other things to do, but the end really is in sight now. I hope to take it to the painter in a week or two. After paint I am getting the interior done by a local specialist including the headlining that you speak of. I'm not sure where you are based but this trimmer is in Fife if that is any good to you? Do you know of a company called Woollies? They concentrate on trimming materials for cars and will probably sell the materials you would need to tackle it yourself.

"my rebuild seems to be never ending! I keep finding other things to do, but the end really is in sight now."

I know exactly what you mean! ??????
