  1. Chat page, I'll answer what I can and put the old boys email on here for people
  2. Alright thought I'd post this up here as I know there's some big Alfa enthusiasts on the forum. Been telling the old boy to get on here but he hasn't pulled his finger out. This his 1969 Alfa boat tail spider we have been building for the last.. 5?..years It's taken a long time I know that! Purchased as a complete bare shell witch was picked as a failed resto project. The shell being imported with some parts out of Canada. However the car was originally from the states and came with California plates and obviously being left hand drive. This model being the 1750 GT veloce, of witch I'm told only 1300 were ever made. And being designed by some bloke called Pininfarina The project has taken a lot of hours and money, getting the shell in bad shape most of the floor had to be replaced. Not one panel was straight so a lot of pulling and massaging steel had to be done. Parts were sourced from collectors all over the word, and with all most all of the suspension being replaced with brand new gear from https://www.alfaholics.com. Where the sport and track upgrade package was bought including adjustable koni's and higher rated springs, along with the bigger brake kit with bigger rotors and brand new calipers. The intention was to tidy it up and turn it into a track car, naturly things got a bit carried away and has now been wired setup so it can be complied for the road. That said, it has a nzms complied roll bar, with side intrusion bars and 6 point style frame to tie the struts together. Autosport seats that have been recovered with custom frame rails and harness' to suit. Currently the motors just the 1750 with some custom extractors and the webbers I rebuilt. Motor DOHC 16v crossflow with alloy block and head. Pretty flash for a domestic car in the mid 60's Plans of a full built 2L later down the track are there once funds allow for it This is all for now, there's loads of photos and other details to add witch I'll do in my free time. And if anyone's interested let me know and I can put you in touch with the old boy. He's Alfa obsessed and loves a good yarn/natter theres a track day coming up so hopefully get some high quolity photos of it on the new Hampton club track to put on iforce instead of my lazy phone camera crap. be keen to get it to OS drag day too come to think of it
