So... I did a thing. I was looking for a 2L crank and got derailed in two totally different directions. The Twin Spark project is continuing but I’ll wait until something specific has happened before I share those details. The other thing that happened was I found a 2L crank, attached to a good, used 2L motor. Price was too good not to say so and the timing was just right for my brother to deliver the motor to me.
So now I have a 2L motor that looks good to go, though I’ll look at adding some fresh gaskets and resetting my Weber 40s to work. Main thing I need to figure out if I want to buy a shiny header or not. I could also swap in my Euro Cams as I think they will be better than the Jetronic cams that (I believe) are currently in the motor.
Pros, let me know if any of these numbers mean anything to you. Also taking suggestions on what gaskets I should change while I have it on the stand.

You'll swap out the current motor for this "new" 2L motor, while fiddling with the twin spark motor in the background? Is the new motor a drop-in fit?Simon

Took the car out to the Cars and Coffee Los Angeles that happens at the end of each month and saw a few other Alfa’s out there. The Giulia got a lot of love and I had several people telling me they are looking for one. Parked it so the pics would be from the good side lol
After delaying it, I finally got in the garage with determination to get (at least) the rear door off. Wasn’t too bad, I prepped myself for battle, but finding this cut down Allen that was from my Datsun Fairlady days it turned out to be exactly what the Dr ordered... for the rear door at least
Once I broke them loose, I knew it was coming off. Today, it came off.
The front door is going to be another battle. I pulled the smaller pin that restricts how far the door will open hoping to get more access, but that didn’t help as I hoped. Tried to knock the major door pins off and that also wasn’t successful.
Content with today’s progress I called it a day. Posting here hoping for some ideas.Simon

Find a concrete pole, park next to it. Open your door. Throw it in reverse.
Hehe.
Well I don't think this will get you much further, but pull off the inner door skin and peel back the plastic liner. See if there's anything inside the door there that will help you. The only other idea I have is welding other pieces of metal to the pins to increase your ability to pull/punch/whack them out. But I can't really say without staring right at it again.

what's the plan for the inside/backside of all of that? leave it bare or flood it with fluidfilm or what?
Not nearly as much of an issue for you, so not sure what is customary where rust isn't nearly as much of an issue.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30
