mo999's 1984 Alfa Sprint

[mo999]

I have owned this since 2005, used it as my daily for a couple of years.

Its got the 105HP 1500cc Boxer motor, Twin DownDraft 36 Dell'Orto's, this is a rare one being based on the Alfasud mechanicals - Most of this shape use Alfa 33 bits.

So disc brakes all round (inboard at the front! - proper racing spec ) Very nice induction noise and typically Italian exhaust note - lots of crackles and pops on the overrun due to factory cams having a fair amount of overlap.

 

Its a great car to drive - original spec metric rims have been replaced by these 15x7's 

 

It looked like this then

 

 

I did a few small jobs on it to keep it on the road.

 

The wipers were all over the place - this was why -

 

Got some bushes from my auto sparky mate,

 

 

Drilled them out

Put them in

Fixed - mint!

 

Also did the front suspension bushes 

From this

to this

 

Had a great couple of years in it till the typical Alfa rust started to make even my friendly WOF man look sideways at it - so parked to up in 2007.

 

Just pulled it out of the shed the day before Christmas - more to follow.

I could not believe how long it was in storage,

 

 

So I decided that to do it properly it was going to have to be a complete strip down to a bare shell.

Dropped the engine and box - 

note the location of the brake discs!

started checking out the rust - this is all that remains of the top inner front guard

 

and rear lower guard,

caused by stupid placement of a foam support for rear window washer bottle

 

Silly Italians!

 

If it ever stops raining I will complete the strip out and update.

Sooo...

 

 

Completed the internal strip out - not good news. Minor rust in the floor and front of the back guard

 

 

However this is the top of the both the B pillars

 

Looking at options now, maybe another roof if I can find a good one. Not sure yet

So I have decided to sell this thing as I will not get it done

1984 Sprint QV 1500 (105hp), Alfasud mechanicals version, (Disk brakes all round) complete car with many spares - mostly stripped shell, a project I will not be able to complete. 

Good Points; 
Motor was fine when taken off the road - the car drove and handled well. 
Suspension bushes replaced all round 
New front brake rotors 
Reg is on hold. 

Bad things: 
Rust - inside front guards - floor 
Needs windscreen 

Many spare parts, spare engine, spare suspension, good doors. 

It is a rolling shell with the original telephone dial wheels - has been in dry storage for the last 3+ years all parts are there.
