Like your car...
Alfettas are so much fun, I really like my '79. Drives like a dream now...I bought it running very rough and replaced the FI system with a pair of SK jap weber carbs that buddy had. They turned out to be junk and eventually I put a pair of Solex carbs on it and it runs perfectly.
I bought the car on Ebay for $300 and have about $1000 in it at this point. I know a lot of folks frown on the Alfettas like they are bastard Alfa step children but I like the car and love driving it. I have a soft spot for unpopular cars...I also have a Maserati Biturbo with 27K on it...very sweet ride but not a "real" Maserati by most people...but I don't have $200K for a "real" one and if I had the money, I doubt I'd ever spend that much on a car. My Alfetta doesn't have a perfect paint job on it...my Maserati does. I don't like driving the Maserati as much as I do the Alfa because I don't have to worry when I park it. I'm going to paint it next year though...
I really like your car....you got a great buy and I'm sure the car will grow on you. Mine did....now I'd never consider selling it. You can't imagine all the heads snapping around when you drive it...there's not many left....none around where I live...
Have fun with it...MarkG
