'73 Alfa Romeo Veloce Spider
Im a new member of the forum

I did a full restoration of my '73 Spider. It has not been used in almost 6 years and decided to make use of it. Work included new interior, a simple sound system, and some engine performance parts. Most evident is the color change Tell me what you guys think.

Great pics, nice job!! I think I can see my reflection in the cam cover in the photo.

Thanks for including the pics of the speakers. I just fitted new door panels in mine and I don't want to cut them up for speakers. I'm brainstorming other locations, seeing what others have done.

thanks bud

hehe! the cam covers were really chromed out to begin with. only had to reshine so to speak

the speakers were originally placed there as well. only had one which was on the passenger side. i really had to replace the player and speakers as they were really dying already. hehehe. came out nice and the music clarity is beyond i expected.

thanks for the comments.

I don't like the color neither the odd alloy wheels. Look like minilites ?

Maybe you should apply your politically correct low profile thinking to yourself. That's not very 'classy'.

I said I dislike yellow Spiders and the Minilite-like alloy wheels. And so what ? electric chair ?

Com'on unstress yourself you're on a board. Not at a mass destruction weapons convention. You can breath.
