The Alfa Thread

snapped this today. It didn't sell in September so I guess I'll relist it in spring. Kind of a unicorn (series 2 but Bosch electronic fuel injection). 94k. Wish someone would buy it!

Put a euro bumper kit on it and Bob's your uncle!

I owned a 74 GTV 2000 and just loved it. I gave it Konis and Pirellis and it would chug through deep snow when everyone else was still digging. Always ran (reasonably well), handled incredibly well and it's one of the few cars I've owned that I would own again....if I had a 6 car garage.


...and yes, it's in my sig lol

I made some big headway on the sprint on Thursday. I got new studs welded to both sets of side grills for the car (I'll get the 2nd set chromed and possibly be able to sell them for almost as much as it will cost to get everything chromed in the first place.)




I finally have a full set of useable grills for the car now.

So this is where my project is at this point. All in all, not looking bad. Floors were stripped to bare metal, rust was killed, then POR-15 over the top.







Slowing moving in the right direction.

Same here. Hahahah. I have to say it was nice to be putting paint back on the car for once rather than removing it. Taking the Datsun apart and putting it all back together was so much less work than this thing. I still can't figure out what color I want to paint it.

Thats a nice gray.

[BlackbirdM3]

Thats a nice gray.

Agreed. I'd want to see it in person first however. Depending on the light, it might be a shade darker or lighter.

Im really looking forward to a US guilia release.

I hope alfa makes a comeback and separates itself from the disaster that is Fiat-chrysler.

[BlackbirdM3]

It would be nice to see Alfa free itself from Fiat, but I don't see it happening. I think Fiat owns all the Italian builders aside from Lamborghini (owned by VW last I heard)

I still think the Giulia looks like a BMW.

I agree that it looks like a BMW in a lot of ways, they obviously took some german design queues with the arches, hoodline, roofline, C pillar, and stubby butt. But its also very distinctly alfa, not chrysler 200 or fiat chassis with a v6.

I think if it is moderately reliable it would be real competition for the M5/M3 at its pricepoint.
