Here she was last year.

Unfortunately she was caught in a multiple car accident and has the whole nose destroyed :-(
... Well, time for restauration !

The BW picture is really nice!!

Both the card, the setting and the picture itself.

Well here she is after this summer's 5 car pile up.... I was last so the rear is untouched. Radiator is crushed against engine block. Right side body pilar (splg?) is hit. Lots of work to be done. I don't want to get ride of her but I need to limit the cash I spend here ... Well I'm studying solutions. Body parts (esp nose) are hardest to find at reasonable pricing. Any help would be greatly appreciated: source for body panels: hood, nose lower & upper, right fender, inner fender ??, front behind nose elements. Also radiator, water pump (spica inj).... Would like to hear from people with this kind of past experience / challenge. Is it worth it ?

Thanks

Roland

Wow that is heartbreaking..

Did not hit extremely hard.. We were fine.. But car went under the rear of a Ford Mondeo.... So sad.
Here is a look under the hood.

Ouch.... that hurts

Good God, man. Have you no mercy? What's the idea of posting a picture like that where children can see it, much less an Alfista??!!

Ouch... that is painful to see! Such a beautiful car, I love your 'before' pictures. I really hope you can get it fixed and make her beautiful again.
