74 Spider Project

[RSahakian]

well i'm trying to put back together my car but now i'm starting to miss parts. Actually the body shop took it apart and i'm trying to figure out the puzzle.

I know is should of done better home work but too late.

i have problem with the wiper - i don't know how and what spacer go where.
i have been looking at catalog pictures but i don't have some of the parts.


any clues and or sources????

[RSahakian]

these are the recent pics on her

I'm not sure what spacers you are trying to figure out. Do any of the pictures in these threads help?

wiper arm linkage

wiper tune-up

If you are missing parts, look in the 'Anything About Alfa Romeos' section to find the 'Suppliers List'. Alfa Parts Exchange is a good source for useful used parts.

The engine bay looks great, BTW. Got any more photos? We likes pictures!

[RSahakian]

Wow - really cool pics and stuff it really helps me identify what i'm missing

I stripped her all the way down - actually the body shop did and now it's turning into a @##@# job finding stuff.









she is slowly getting better - now i need front drivers side bumper - the old one has broken plastic peaces - once I opened it up.
Any way i will need lots of help

I was curious why the engine compartment and trunk were painted black? Was that a personal choice? Are you going for a custom look?

[RSahakian]

well, the best way i can explain this is:
American hot rods usually have this kind of paint layout - where the engine and trunk are black.
since she is going to be a little hot rod i wanted to play into this arena
she is getting 11 to 1 compression with either 40 or 45 webbers.
i already have the 3" pipe and header.
i have the cranbk and flywheel shaved down and balanced along with other things.
also i want her to be cleaner looking - oil leaks - down the road


at least it was better then painting her red!

The black look is not stock, on a Series 2 Spider, but plenty of Alfas have that look also. The one that comes to mind is the 2600 Sprint if I am not mistaken. I am pretty sure that the trunk is black, anyway.

Happy to see some of my pictures are helping some one.
Wiper arm linkage thread, in the picture, the cardboard represents the cars body. the two gray parts that are cut on an angle, one sits under the scuttle panel and one above it. This is the order they should go back in, at the time of the picture i didn't have the wiper caps.

RShakakin,

Can out take picture of the rear of your car, just wondering how your bumper fit to your car.

Thanks

Rich

First i really want to thank you for the pictures - they really helped me as for the rear bumper - i just took it off yesterday - i found a local bumper shop to fix the dent and fix the cracked weld. he is going to polish it and i should have it back by thursday next week.so i will send another picture then.i also got 71 rubber molding so at the end it should look different -

[RSahakian]

Thanks Randy i was trying to go with a little different look - i hope the end product will be good. i just thought black and silver would look cool under the hood.

How much to get your bumper fixed. I have a dent on my bumper as well.

Can you tell me if there is a cover on the rear lower valence?

[Rich]

No problem,

If want more pictures of any part of the car, let me know.

Thanks for the pictures too, if can take a picture of the rear of the bumpers from the inside of it and how it attaches to the car would help me a great deal.
Thanks
Rich

The deal i got is really great - at least i hope.

the shop is going the fix the dent on the drivers side and weld a crack on the passenger side and polish the bumper - $120.00

i think it's a good deal - oh and i took apart the front bumper and he is also going to polish the top and bottom peaces for the same price

i should get it back this thursday - i will post some pics
this guy is in Bell Gardens basically East Los Angeles
