I know this isn't a classic but a know a lot of you drive newer alfas. My son today has taken his giulietta for it's test .It failed on a lower front track arm bush .I know it's probably easier to fit an arm . They have quoted him £430 to fit a new arm plus £30 tracking. Have any of you had one fitt...

I had some nice red ones made .They are not very practical though.

Got the final piece required for the body today.

You never know next year we may be paying tax on Italian products and not on Australian products

If your headlights came from Oz, did you have to pay import duty on them?

I did Dave

They took their time to come but worth the wait

So true Lou. You can't get much further away than Australia! My parcel is in customs at Coventry at the moment . I can't wait to see if it has survived.

Not a windscreen then.

No not a windscreen. That would have been a risk to far. A hint. They also drive right hand cars.

My latest purchase is at present on its way from Australia.

I've purchased various panels and parts from Italy. They were from a number of different companies. As Lou says keep a look out on eBay and eBay italy. Even though an item is only listed on the Italian site if you message them some are willing to post.

Nice work Kev. I really need to get my screen out and just get on with it. It's the last bit of welding I need to do before it gets a respray

Sud past its test today with flying colours. Was almost hoping it would fail to spur me on to finish the body!

Hi Craig I’ve actually not got that much to do. if I did nowt else and just spent 3-4 days doing the few patches It needs I’d be done I’ve got a couple of small repairs to do in the drivers floor /sill area. And the front jacking point (it’s solid Enough but a bit crusty) Needs a dose of looking at...

How is the body work coming along loo? I've collected all the panels I need now. I have just got to do the welding around the screen and I'm ready for the body shop.

Nice looking repair kev

Every time I get one of those on the grinder I think do I really want to do this!

That's the one. You may find the bolt holes don't quite line up. I enlarged the holes slightly to aid fitting last time I did one. As loo says makes sense to do both at once. Oh and watch out for the washer behind the joint on the inner.

I did mine yesterday

I had that happen loo

It wasn't mine then.

Not unless you have had it resprayed and was in Chesterfield.

Red

My son saw a sud in Chesterfield today. Anyone on here?

Today's progress

Well that was really difficult to fabricate

I'm pretty sure I've got one of those. Anything else?

Will do Lou. Is there anything else you are after?

I've one lou

Finally got some time, nice weather, inclination and gas to carry on.
