Just a Hello...

Just thought I would introduce myself - I've been reading this BB casually for a couple years, but registered just recently.

I currently own a '95 164Q, and this weekend will be picking up an '87 Milano. I've lusted after a 75 for many years and though I really want a GTV6, I was given an opportunity on the Milano I couldn't pass up. Given that there are a pair 2-doors in the driveway now (a Saab SPG and an XR4Ti), evening up the 4-doors made some sense.

Anyway - I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions over the next few weeks... this car seems very nice and I'll be running it over to Barber Shop Alfa on Monday for a once-over, but after that all the wrenching will be done by me...

Out of curiosity, are there any print workshop manuals for these cars? I see the CD-ROMs go by on ebay and such all the time, but when it comes to working on cars, I really prefer the paper, factory if possible.

Thanks!

There are. Craig offers downloads of pretty much the entire Alfa 75 manual as downloads from his website (Craig's Place, Alfa 75 Manuals and Information) so you could take the files to Kinko's or somewhere like that.

Or, say, the office late at night...

Thanks for the tip!

Or you can do what I do, use image management software and only print what you need when you need it.

It's easy, just open the index page/s of the chapter you need to find the page number/s then open the pages you need.

I use 'Thumbs Plus' but whatever came with your digital camera would probably be fine.

it is nice to print just the pages you need and you can take them and get them dirty and toss them after the job.

Also if you keep an eye on e-bay the original shop manuals show up from time to time and once and awhile you can even grab a good deal!

Welcome to the club. Don't forget to register car with the Milano registry
