@Alfa105_dk: I sent you a PM.
Here's a picture of the left side relieved from bondo. I think you can even see it have raised on the suspension after getting rid of the weight! ;-)
As soon as I have the car on a rigid frame support, that crap will be in the dumpster pretty fast! I'll rather look at a gaping hole than that piece of ....
Today I stripped the carbs and cooling system from the engine room. Before lifting out the engine I'll see if I can find an alternator that does not hit the steering box. No, I'm not that worried about original appearance as long as it's a part that will make the car a driver I can depend on bringing me out and home. The engine could also need a bit more left tilt to give some more room for air entering the Webers. The intake plenum have been cut and welded to clear the bulkhead. Probably not by the same guy that welded the body, because that aluminum weld looks well done.
The plan now is to put a frame made from 300x100mm U-beam under the car. I have the frame (from a bedsheet folding machine!). This frame will be set level using a machine spirit level. Onto this I will make supports to the suspension mount points to make sure they are straight. Some rough measurements indicate the previous "restorer" did not worry too much about this. Then it will be easy to lay a beam across this frame to measure different points at both sides and make sure they are the same. I don't have the original measurements, so being equal both sides and diagonally is the best I can do. If the sills need to come off, so be it. Although they look quite good seen from the cutout I made at the left rear end. I don't see much point in crossbracing if it's already crooked, and this frame will make it possible to determine this as well as correcting it if necessary.
Marco Fazio informs me that this car is not a 10123 as seen below. Somehow that does not surprize me either.
-------------------------------------
with reference to your request we are informing you as follows.
According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR 370986 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta spider (101.03), manufactured on the 4th April 1962 and sold on the 11th April 1962 in Cosenza, Italy.
The body colour is sky blue (AR 301).
-------------------------------------
I found traces of blue on some places on the car, but it's a dark blue. So if it's a sky blue it must have been late in the evening. Or possibly early morning, I have no experience on how early morning sky looks.
