Right - it says "build page" and for some reason I thought that meant "fabrication" and "prep." Just heavily edited Stance shots. I want to know about those drilled suspension arms.

I liked the Petrolicious video on this car.

Those trailing arms are punched and swaged and available from Alcoholics. I mean, Alfaholics (good products, stupid name).

BTW, this Stanceworks article is laughable. Multiple pictures of decals on the rollcage and fluid reservoirs, but nothing of the suspension or undercarriage. They did, however, manage to focus a picture on a wrench-inflicted dent on a header tube.

I was thinking of using these Corbeaus in my street '69 Spider:

I remember this fella from a while back, I think Jalopnik or Petrolicious interviewed him. I wish him luck, Alfas deserve this treatment. Solid axles and all...

booo hissss.....

I was thinking of running full race seats, but didn't think they would be comfortable for a long trip. Would I love a set of Zagato replicas? You bet, but $2500 for a set of seats isn't in the budget. Its really the only cost cutting and incorrect part on the car.

pleeeeeze

Nope, I'm using E30 seats. I plan on driving the car. I still have the originals, someday I might get them redone. I want comfortable seats that I can sit in for 15 hrs straight. I want something with a high back, adjustable headrest, and good support. I'm also not paying more than $500 for a pair. I've got a set of E30 Sport seats on the way. I care more about comfort that correct in this case.

Is it me, or do those look like E30 Sport seats that have been adapted to a Sprint? I just found the pic while going through my archives.

I purchased this car a few years ago in person from the seller in a very small town in northern Italy. The following is a video from when I first bought it:

Overall the car was in beautiful in condition but it needed a few things here and there like front and rear seals, front calipers, rebuild and synched carbs, replaced speedo, new tires and more. The car is dialed in. Here are a few pics of the repairs;

If you know your Giulias you know how rare a Biscione is. This one comes in a very cool and rare Bluette exterior with a rare blue fabric interior. The car has recently received a complete tune-up and detail and is ready for a new home. This 105.26 Super comes with it's original 00526/A motor which is complete and runs perfectly.

From the Alfa Romeo archives, the build date for the car is February 2, 1970 and it was first registered in Italy on February 6, 1970. It comes with the most recent Foggia (FG) Italian plates and also has an ASI certification from the previous owner. The car also comes with a valid CA title.

I'm not impressed with the recover, but it verifies my thought that the E30 sport seats should fit in the car. This pic also looks like the stock sliders were used to mount them.

they are recaro lx-c's

they seem like a good option for a non stock car?

that pair is an obvious recover job that is slightly above marginal.
