    Nice work! My favorite color for these - this is the car I would build for myself - color, bumpers, wheels..

    And nice Alfa purchase!

    EDIT - we found out our gold pinstripes were just tape and came right off - bonus!

          That pinstripe really sets it off.

              So the eta was hit by a large SUV in a parking lot incident. Luckily lady did not bail:



              Fixed up. The bumper has a slight tweak in it, but overall I am okay with the repair:



              So a small part of Burgy now looks nice and shiny.

              I've put basically everything back together inside and out. Car runs and drives great. I have a bit of a driveline vibration at 50MPH, so I think I will get a new/rebuilt driveshaft.

              On the fence about the 2.7i swap since the base engine runs so well. A chip and an LSD should make this car even better.

              Eventually will look into reinstalling the A/C with upgraded components. Contemplated having the shop strip and paint car while in for the repair, but couldn't swing it financially right now, so she'll run with patina for the time being.

                Ugh, I am so nervous about someone hitting my Burgundrot car when she is done. Glad yours wasn't too bad and is back to looking sexy again!!

                          Yes it does run better with a chip and LSD! Installed a SSSquid 93 octane eta chip (had to sweat it out because it was a desolder/solder install...a bit nerve wracking) coupled with an S3.25 LSD with new seals and gaskets. All I can say is WOW!

                          On the highway at 80MPH (3K RPM) this little car will jump to 100MPH quite quickly!

                                Thanks guys.

                                Random butt shot :) Guess I have to polish the "old" tail light lens. Got the euro bumper a bit straighter w/good old brute force.
