The saga continues...





This was a big step, aside from preparing under the wheel arches, repairing the side skirts and repainting the rear bumper, the rest of the car will be repainted professionally - I'm not doing much more body prep on the actual car itself now! Bodywork takes such a bloody long time - I'd never get it finished with my work commitments.

Looking forward to reassembling the pedal box, heater box etc this upcoming weekend!

Got my new brake and clutch master cylinders today, so I can look forward to assembling the pedal box and putting it back in the car this weekend. Slow progress last 3 weeks, I've been crook with what must the worst cold ever (tm).

Now I need some rear Alfetta brake calipers, and like a total goober I actually had a set on my old Alfetta sedan project that I recently got rid of! Agghh, back to U-pullit unless someone has a pair going cheap?!

Sorry guys, I forgot the camera weekend just gone... pedal box is in, freshly powder coated battery holder is in, and just started cleaning up the wiring loom. I reckon there goes next weekend just on the loom! Also scored a free set of rear Alfetta brake calipers and have start rebuilding these for the rear axle.

Slow progress...





Time to start pulling apart the heater/aircon unit!

Does anyone know of a supplier that may have a Benditalia brake fluid reservoir??! I can't for the life of me find a new one...

Not much to report last 2 weeks unfortunately, I've been pre-occupied with becoming a father

I enquired about getting the car restrayed, however the place I want to take it is booked out until next year(!). I don't really want to take it anywhere else as I'm aiming for an awesome finish, not a rushed job that I know I will regret. So I will just concentrate on finishing the engine bay which is basically all the wiring (aghh), heater box and aircon unit and working on the modifications - front and rear brake upgrades.

I have one question about the rear alfetta calipers you are going to use, how are you going to solve the bleeding screw problem?
When my informations are correct, its on the "wrong" place(not on top, bubbles can trap inside) when mounted on a sud rear axel, and it can't be bled normaly..
