alfa 155 white V6 skinny

Post by alfachris »

I got the V6 from where it has been stored for the last year.............to start it was very green lol

Started clean the rust on the floors only made two more holes but the boot floor/inner wings are are not good so will be removing the rear wings over the weekend and put photos up.

Was hoping to have it mot'd on Monday but that's not going to happen now

The rear subframe needs new bushes aswell so will take a bit long

This is what it look like 3 years ago with a seized engine after oil cooler pipe went on the lsst owner. I fitted another engine and used it for 2 years

The rear wings are rusty but have good set of used ones
The bumpers and boot have always need to be painted so will have the bits repainted

Looks good in white. I always liked my 155's they were quick cars. The V6 wasn't bad on fuel either.

Ditto Kev......I'd like another 155. Wonder if I could persuade the 'boss' to have one for the school run.... :idea:

I like the black sport pack, or the metallic purple (magenta?).

lol, so much of that pic made me chuckle.
how did you get away with pressing those in your kitchen for starters!!
hope that battery had no power in it either, nice big chunk of metal across the poles...
the presses though are very handy, aren't they 8-)

Pmsl....she was happy but things aren't good between me and her..........the battery was fully charged but was careful with it lol
I've got to fit bushes in my friends subframe on his 155 that I welding and refurbing bits no a local garage wanted £40 +vat to fit them in each subframe so it was cheaper to buy the press
