I am sure we could do something, but the Sud won't be out till next year now as I have a few jobs to do, plus I won't tax her till the Spring.
The trusty 156 is what I would be in. I love that car as well.

Re: Tax Disc Holder.
Good Idea for the Classic Alfa Forum sticker, I wish I was "arty".
It will be a show of support..... especially at AROC meets.
I have a reproduction tax disc, as I need something in the old girls original holder

Thanks guys I appreciate your comments. You will see her at your boxer meet I am sure. I was talking to Kev about his plans for next year to get a good gathering. Looking forward to that.

Re: Boxer Meet 2014
Hi Ted and gang,
Just a quick message to confirm that the Cadwell day is still on?
Hope it is as I am looking forward to meeting up and putting faces to names and seeing some Alfas on the track.
Cheers.

Re: Alfasud SI Ti 1976 Restoration
The door looks great, wish mine had been that good.
I agree with Shrew, about the prep process. Thorough de-grease and dry, and a thorough etch inside and out.
Most quality etches have rust inhibiting properties (so they tell us !!) so that helps with the protection.
Well done.

Hi Shrew, Yes, you over complicated it. They are Cosmic alloys. I still have the sticker off the inside saying fitment for Fiat 850, a Simca model and Alfasud. 4x 98 pcd Inside was the original owners name written to reserve them as they were an aftermarket option. That is why, although not original...

I had the replacement screen bonded in as mine has the full stainless steel surround. It has a nice top tint to it as the screen isn't full tinted.

Hi Alfasam,
Car looks great, and that interior...................
Funny, my car was the other way around. Factory painted blue. First owner couldn't wait for a red one so he bought it and had it re sprayed red.
Bet you can't wait till it arrives.
Enjoy.

Hi Lauren,
Have to say you have a mind full of interesting facts and knowledge, also love your photo's and taste in motors.
I also saw the little Mondiale that year. Didn't know what it was but I did like it.
Thanks.

Thanks sud145,
It made my day. That was her first proper run out. About 220 mile round trip with no issues. Even had a Jag XK220 pull alongside us on the M25 and give us a big grin and thumbs up before hitting hyperspace.

I bought it without viewing, but it was what I expected give or take a bit of rust ha ha.
What year is your 5m ?
That was my first car on an "R" plate, in that colour with blue ribbed vinyl. Fond memories.
This was her nearing completion.
