[Martin2000GTV]

Hello from Germany,

I have barely posted here on this board but gained a lot of help in the past from you all.
Now I have a bigger rust problem on my '72 2000 GTV and would like to share the repair process with you.

Although there was a lot of sheetmetal work performed on my car around 15 years ago, somehow we forgot to inspect the control arm joints on the front crossmember thoroughly.

Already some years ago I recognized that I will get a bigger problem here. Now that there is a repair part available I decided to tackle with the problem.

After some examination with a screwdriver there was not much left of my left upper control arm joint.
Luckily the passenger side is much better, if not almost perfect. Heaven knows what happened on that spot on the driver's side.

See attached pictures of the current stage. If you're interested I will post more pictures while the repair progresses.
And of course you're welcome for any questions regarding this job.

While I do simple sheetmetal work myself, THIS is too critical for my skills, so I entrusted my car to an Alfa Romeo experienced and competent body shop doing such work since many decades.

Best Regards from Germany

Martin
