Didn't get much done over the weekend.......fitted new heater valve, rear electric window loom, n/s/f seat belt, b post seat belt trims, 145 rear leather seats, dtm light inserts and hid's

That's unusual in white, was that the original colour?

I always liked the 155, quick and capable.....Ive had 3 of them, think I will add one to my dream storage unit.

Going to collect these today

Done a bit to it today dropped the rusty rear subframe out cleaned a few spots of little rust and treated it. Tuesday I started to remove the diesel engine and box out of the black 155 td.
Need the made engine loom 24" long as it will be going down the left chassis leg and connects to the engine on the right side.

Fitted rear subframe, rear wheels, rear brakes, braided brake hoses and under sealed

Removed the engine/gearbox from the black lhd diesel 155, fitted it into the white 155 with front shocks and brakes.
Also removed abs system as the diesel 155 didn't have it fitted

I've made a big error.........I didn't make any notes of wiring plugs have worked out what 3 out of the 4 plugs do...............so need to find a alfa 155 2.5 td workshop manual

Oops!

The 2.5td manual that i won on eBay.it in italian turned up today so now know what the 4 wires go to................so what to do finish this or V6 first ?????????

All done now mot'd and taxed

Had a few problems sorting wiring and hoses out.
The shakedown drive showed up some more problems heater valve inside the car leaking, power steering leak, indicators stopped working and ticking over at 1700 rpm when warmed up.

A few pics still need to fit the 145 QV side skirts

Sorted the first few problems out.
I used it to go to work today did 63 miles of the 70 mile trip and the water pump bearing went and seized so got recovered home by the AA

So now have find replacement

Oops!

Sorted the water pump while ago in the end after finding out I need a earlier pump because the pulley was fitted on with a big nut.

Fast forward 4 weeks later alternators went............had to get replacement from Germany so now fitted it with a wiring modified. Ordered new heater resistor from eBay
