That is a NICE Alfetta. They look especially good with the lower front ride height (US spec cars had the front jacked up). I had one several years ago; it started out with a new paint job from the previous owner, but literally disintegrated before my eyes from the dreaded tinworm. Did you have to do rust repair before the paint respray?

Luckily for me the previous owner had the car resprayed just before i bought it so i have not a clue as to whether it had rust repair or not. Though with a huge inspection on the in's and outs of the car there is no visable sign of the horrid tin worm

Hi Andrew,
Im not sure what they atm .. i know that they have "turbo" stamped on them and silver Alfa center caps. I will have a look later when i get the chance and tell you what they are.
Where abouts in brissy are you ? and what type of alfa do you drive?

Andrew,
They are the TEVOG "turbo" rims. I have no idea of the origin of these rims or whether or not they are after market. Do you or any others know of these rims?
Very nice Alfetta btw Andrew , I take it you race in alfacomp series?
Im not currently a member of AROCA though i will be joining up in a few weeks or so. Are you a member?
Reece

Sweet 77!
77GTV,
Very sweet! I love my v6 but I love the Alfetta for the pureness of it's shape - yours shows the body shape off so well with the clean bumpers.  How long have you owned it?

AROCA Qld
Reece,
Yes - I have been a member for a few years. There are many Alfettas that compete in ALFACOMP at various levels. The 'Saturday Afternoon Sprints' at Queensland Raceway are a good way to get started if you have not driven competitively before - check the calendar at the club web site.
Regards,
Andrew

looks really nice, congrats! I have always found, and still do, that the tail lights on the four cylinder models are so much nicer than the ones on the V6's
