    The same car, pictures taken 40+ years apart. I have been taking care of this car for about 10 years now. The first pic was taken before I was born, the second I took back in December.

    My Sprint and Datsun are actually hidden in the shadows behind the car.

          Sorry, nothing yet... Got a PPI done on a particular car and the closeup pics I got and watching this video definitely makes me want to run away

              Well, I have a new wiring harness, an exact reproduction of the original. The engine is still in limbo, waiting for TEM machine to do their magic. Currently trying to get the Datsun engine all sorted out and back in the car (because race car again...) I do have my set of 40mm Mikunis all rebuilt and ready to go on the car.

                Random Alfa appreciation link, I'm not really an Alfa connoisseur but 60's/70's GTV's do it for me.

                  Andrew (that specific seller) was my old neighbor when we both lived in Culver City. When he had this and I still had my Datsun, we did a little canyon run together. The induction noise of dual Webers and dual Mikunis changed my life haha







                  Might as well drop these in here too... Sprint was driven by Dorian of DV Mechanics, a young lady Sera was driving the blue GTV and some idiot named Simon drove that blue sedan in the back haha
