Going through a bit of an alfa obsession right now post pics of your favorites. To start one of my future cars the gtv6:

Vintage Sparco seats that recline / tilt forward with slider / brackets. Tear on drivers side bolster, good shape other than that. Matching Sparco steering wheel. Can take more photos if you can provide...

I have a brand new ATE stock size MC and entirely refreshed brake system. All calipers were stripped, cleaned, and rebuilt and the rears were upgraded to solid bushings. New stainless hoses all around....

Currently experiencing a problem with my engine.
It is a m20b27 stroker with 1.3 moronic.

When driving the engine sometimes stutters, most noticeable during acceleration, but during...

Since I have yet to buy an Aircooled 911, I had always been looking over the fence to see the greener grass. I felt at some point I was going to have to get one because I work too hard to always be on...

So after engine rebuild M20B20 from 87-89, new piston ring set, new bearing set for both rod and main bearings (brand Kolbenschmidt Standard sizes), the head was rebuilt at a professional shop and parts...

I've gone down the 8HP45 rabbit hole and purchased one...

One of the nice things about having the N52 is that the swap should be mechanically trivial; anything from an N55 or N20 engine is...

I acquired an 07 donor car. Before I put this project in full motion, I’m hoping to get some answers on some possible non-starter issues.
