I hope you only have one set of keys and they don't leave your hands

[grifterkid]

Lovely stuff. I hope this one doesn't experience any off-road 'adventures'...!!! This looks a real gem so I will be keeping a close eye on this Italian Stallion...

The last one would have given her enough of a fright I should think!

[jamieandthemagictorch]

I told her to take it out tonight when she went to meet with the girls........she told me to "pi55 off"

It goes for an early MOT tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Stripped a load of bits off the trashed one and fitted the 15" revos at the weekend, it's just highlighted how high it's sitting at the mo, especially the rear.









Now have the 14s available if anyone wants them.

[jamieandthemagictorch]

Just picked up a genuine group A rear spoiler for it. Hens teeth is not the word

[jamieandthemagictorch]

Bit big

Need to lower it I think

[waynedear]

Was that from a man called Colin.

[brc76]

was it intended to remove reward vision?

it'd have to be lows and door numbers to rock that!

plus, nice purchase all around there

No, Nick humphries, legendary Alfa racer and builder of serious bhp.

[HoTWire]

I've got a serious hankering for one of these at the moment... And one of those Dutch companies IMSA kits

[jamieandthemagictorch]

Getting hard to find good ones

[jamieandthemagictorch]

Little update, eibach springs brought the rear down, and a new chin spoiler to get rid of the 75's chinless appearance.

Sits better now.
