I'm new to Alfas and I don't have any experience working on cars.
The Montreal engine seems to be finicky.
Is it easier to put a 327 Chevy or a 289 Ford engine into a '53 Giulietta Spider?

Hello. I need to paint my car. Do you think it looks better in "Atomic Brown" or "Azzurro Lugano Metallizzato" ??

Screw "a**urro lugno metallicaloid", I think "pimpin' purple" would do your car justice...its the number one color for hot rides...I just painted right over that ugly, original but shiny alfa red with some sweet purple...threw on some 24" chrome spinners and purple neon underlights and all the ladys love it!!!

It's the 3rd time today this punk posted the same brainfart in the wrong forum (see here and here and above) -- anywhere, except where it's supposed to be in the Spider forum. And it's not that other members haven't pointed that out already. I suggest with take the Spider away from him and ban this guy for life from AlfaBB before he starts asking for instant messaging, a Spider forum split and how to resize pictures for posting.
