Hi Alfa Giulia65,

Nice car. And, those are some serious lights. If they all were to work, I'll bet you could give a major "flash" to the types that run around with their driving lights on all of the time.

For lenses, and bulbs, try this site. The proprieter is very knowledgable, and even lists his testimony to the Feds regarding U.S. vs. European lighting standards http://www.danielsternlighting.com/home.html

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! Yes the paint is original, it still shines but will need to be re-sprayed before the project is complete. As far as the tire/wheel combo: Yokahama AVS 225/45/16. The wheels are TSW.

Why respray it if it still shines? You must have better and cheaper spray painters over there than we have in Adelaide. Even $5000 doesn't buy a good job in my experience. If the original paint looks OK I leave it alone these days. There's nothing worse than having your pride and joy ruined by some guy who couldn't care less. Anyway, the car looks great.

oz3litre - I do agree with you. Re-painting the car is not an immediate plan. Up close the paint is not nearly as nice as it looks from 10 feet.

Nipper - Thanks, I was unsure at first but very happy now!

Pictures from today

It is a beautiful day here in northern California, so I used that as an excuse for getting the Alfa out of the barn and going for a drive. It's been over 2 weeks since she has been on the road. Here are some pictures from the drive.



This is my landlords barn, I'm very lucky that he let's me keep it in here.



What can is say these are all going to be beauty shots.








From the pictures it looks like I've taken the Alfa on some off road adventure? In reality they were taken at my house before and after the drive.

Nice car, Nicer pics!!!!

(On a technical note, some of those pics must be photoshopped, or as I would prefer shot on a large format... since the DOF/Focus selection is just great!!!)

NICE!!
