Thanks for the kind words. I can manage when it comes to figuring things out but its definitely nice to have a resource like this board. I actually worked on an MG midget for three years prior to taking on this project. Before that my knowledge was limited to brake jobs, tuneups and the occasional oil change. The midget opened up my eyes to restoring older cars since it was a total basket case from the PO. With the alfa at least so far it looks relatively un molested which I couldn't be happier about. Its tough to figure things out when there's nothing to go by as a reference.
For some reason i'm having trouble adding an image as a web address so it will display on the page however I was able to upload a few pictures to shutterfly of the car. I posted the link below let me know your thoughts.
