What a fantastic project!
Hope you are keeping the velour interior?

I've had to put in fixed back seats as I'm intending to use it in Sports Libre class for sprinting.

This is absolutely awesome. Love the GTAs.

Kudos to you and well done for sticking with it until nearing the end.

When modifying engines for more power it commonly gets to the place for me where an LS would be a cheaper and FARRRR more reliable option. I`m talking about you Cosworth YB turbo!

Epic project!

GTA with a LS - HELL YES!

Depending where you are in the country there is a Alpine Specialist in Gloucestershire called Roadspeed Performance that ive heard good things about, they often have a decent selection of cars at their workshop whenever I've passed by.

Just a heads up.
Road speed are no longer trading due to the owner passing away.

Fantastic project, love all of the Alpines.

Great to see one with an LS in it too, what a combo, congratulations on getting it on the road

It might upset a few people that I know, but I really like the idea of an LS swapped 911 Porsche.

I'm sure that's been done

I’ve seen a few on YouTube and just like the OPs car, it’s such a great idea and sounds amazing.

Nice project, the Alpines are pretty cool, although would love an A310 !

Probably not great cars, but they look cool

Sports Libre is a PITA in the UK, full cage, in date harness etc etc

Although the engine swap alone forces you into that class. Plus you'll need a higher grade license than the base RS Interclub.

Although I think the RS Interclub is still ok if you compete with the vehicle in fully road legal form.
