New Owner

Greetings all,

This has been a fun thread to read through...took a couple of days though! Lots of nice cars out there.

Here is mine. It's my first Alfa, purchased just before Christmas. Seems to be a solid car, it's just suffering from some neglect. I put it in the shop this week for a major service and then will have to find wheels and tires before putting her back on the road.

T-belt and tensioner, oil seals, possibly the water pump (as long as we're in there) valve adjustment, replace all air, vacuum and coolant hoses, re-attach the e-brake cable, plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, oil and filter, fuel and air filters, flush the coolant, brakes and transaxle and replace the clutch slave cylinder (which decided to self-destruct on New Year's Eve).

The previous owner kept no records on the car so I feel like I need to get it to a good zero point where I know what exactly has and has not been done as far as maintainence.

Oh for sure do the water pump they are a sure fire failure piece. I think I did two on mine in six years.

Alfa in Eastern Canada

Hey all, this is my first Alfa.............pretty rare in this neck of the woods..........as are parts LOL. Bought this 88 Quad in the summer of 2006. the lady owner had it stored in her garage for over 7 years. Its in great shape, but needs a little attention.

I wouldnt imagine there would be too many Alfas in Nova Scotia! Looks great, take some scenery pics with the Alfa in it, should be some nice coastal roads around?

88 Verde

This was taken in Alberta, I'm now hiding from the winter in Victoria but will be back over there working this summer.
My Verde since this picture has bilsteins added all around, polyurethane bushings on some suspension bits, and euro headlights.

The second one looks like it may need some polish? Car yard sale only needs a little TLC. Jason
