Thanks guys. The delivery driver took photos of pre-exisitng damage at the time of pick-up and all he could find was a 1/8” chip and a small scratch on the driver’s side window scraper trim. All chrome replaced, new rubber floor mats, new rubber gaskets on doors, windshield, top, trunk and hood. Weber carbs with Euro style air cleaner ( still have original Spica in a box), euro cam, header, Ansa exhaust, s/s braided brake lines and coolant hoses, new top, upholstery, and refinished Cromadoras with five of the original rims.... I’m really pumped.
Owned some sports cars in the past - a 1970 Fiat 850 Sport Coupe and then both a 74 and a 79 Fiat X1/9. Also a 1970 Datsun 240Z and a 1975 Euro spec 260Z. And three Porsches - a 1961 356B, a 1986 944 and a 2000 Boxster. But this is my first Alfa - and its about time!
Yes, it needs a bit of work - wouldn’t want it any other way. The windshield washer container was removed when the Euro spec air cleaner was installed, so I need to find a spot for a new one. Also, the rear end wines a bit when you let off the gas at higher revs and unless you double de-clutch, there is a slight grind on downshifts into second. And I’l
be seeking sage advice here, in time, on these and other issues as they arise.
From what I seen while lurking, this is an incredible site. Looking forward to participation now with meaning!
Regards!
