mo999 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 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 Its a great car to drive - original spec metric rims have been replaced by these 15x7's It looked like this then I did a few small jobs on it to keep it on the road.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.

mo999 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 So I have decided to sell this thing as I will not get it done TM Listing as follows http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=765294586 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
