my name is Alejandro, from Italy. This is my first post here. I followed this Board for over a year but I had not registered yet because, as you ‘ll see, my spell sucks. Sorry for that.

First thing first I want to thanks you all: this forum, along with the 750/101 yahoo group and giuliettas.com, has been my primary web source of data on Alfa Romeo classics and restoration info.

Now, I ‘m involved in the restoration of my 1960 101 interim Giulietta Spider Veloce ("Involved" means here that I actively work alongside the experienced guy who leads the restoration work, trying to learn everything about my car).





I do not have many good pictures of my Giulietta, but you can see her in the videoclips that I regularly publishes in my Restoration Diary Blog (Spiderveloce's Blog)

In any case I wish to present my proyect:

It/she :rolleyes:

- is a matching numbers true Veloce, as evidenced by the Archivio Storico docs (see Mr. Fazio’s e-mail);




- was built June 4, 1960 and she was built to go to America, but she has never gone overseas, since an English gentleman bought it at the factory;

- had there a small accident which destroyed the left fender and part of the nose. Then a criminal tried to repair it with tons of Bondo;

- about in 1987 was sold to a Dutch sire.

I bought it last January from Joop Stolze in De Lier, Holand, and since then I ‘m fighting a truly war against rust :( Apart from that, the car seems to have good mechanical stuff: the engine turns by hand and the transmission is correct. It Has several missing parts witch I'm looking a bit 'everywhere: web, autojumbles etc.
(I 'll use only original parts, no repros).

Until now I did:

- disassembly: a really fun Svitol Party :D
- Stripped old paint out (chemical);
- Sanding of the body (bottom and engine bay only);
- purchase of spare parts (Fender - a Cannibal Mission - and many wrong items that I ‘m trying to resale on ebay).

Now we are ready to begin the truly reconstruction of the body. God help us!
We work slow (only 2 days at week): I 'll post 'in progress' links here.

I hope to enjoy your advice and suggestions.
Thanks in advance. ]]> AlfaDrone http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/giulietta-giulia-1954-65/170467-spider-veloce-restoration-diary.html 750 veloce cams with normal solex http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/giulietta-giulia-1954-65/170455-750-veloce-cams-normal-solex.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 04:25:36 GMT Hi, about a month ago I got a set of used 750 veloce cams, I put them on ,I got the clearence Exhaust .020 -.022 , Intake .015-.017, I am using the same marks on the caps, I had to increase the idle speed to avoid stall of the engine, and open the mixture screw to smooth some the irregular idle... Hi,

about a month ago I got a set of used 750 veloce cams, I put them on ,I got the clearence Exhaust .020 -.022 , Intake .015-.017, I am using the same marks on the caps, I had to increase the idle speed to avoid stall of the engine, and open the mixture screw to smooth some the irregular idle ( it sounds more like a hotroad with all kinds of osilating and spiting sounds at idle, at higer revs the sound dont know why exactly but an airplane sound comes to mind, dont see much of an improvement on the normal circle + cross cams, Ah and these have a bolt in the front while the normals have a nut,

I am looking for advice on how I can put the setting on these to make them work the best, or they are lost hope with the normal solex?

All advices and comments are welcomed

Thanks in advance

No evidence of previous true color to match as it has been repainted long ago.

Alfa Centro Documentazione simply tells me the car was delivered "white". But as we all know there are a number of correct whites.

I'd appreciate any photos or advice along with modern paint code equivalents that anyone has successfully used. ]]> 67alloy http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/giulietta-giulia-1954-65/170397-help-needed-1960-giulietta-white-color.html <![CDATA['64 Alfa Racing Red paint source]]> http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/giulietta-giulia-1954-65/170366-64-alfa-racing-red-paint-source.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:01:00 GMT Would appreciate a bit of help in locating a source where I can purchase "64 Alfa Racing Red paint.

I need to replace the rear axle check straps on my 64 Giulia Spider.

I've got a manual, which doesn't cover it, looked under the car & see that the body sits on top of them and that's as far as I've got.

Could anyone let me know in very simple steps what the process is to remove them?

thanks
