Brad,
Happy to put you and Anita on the dibs list (don't thing there's anyone else....)
as long as you promise not to turn it into a shitbox contender.

17fitty,
Love hearing about your updates, you can't kill these Alfettas, well you can if you blow
a spider gear in the transaxle, but the engines are very strong. Keep us posted
Keen to hear about your engine swap, are you considering an LSD transaxle ?
Nice work on the rear qtr panel too.
Recovered nicely thanks.
Curious that no ones mentioned a Twinsoark conversion, there's usually a bloke here
in Melbourne who would have posted by now.......

Not that you need too by the way up to you

I had the pleasure of driving 17fitty's Fetta on the weekend. I'd forgotten how good they are!
Very hard to beat for value for your hard earned, I reckon. Thanks 17fitty, made my weekend.
Now, to the for sale section.

[17fitty]

Too easy pedro-cheers for the work on the 1750.Thought you might be looking for an rx4 or ac???

[Pedro69]

No rx4 for me, 17fitty. Love the originality, patina, but you know what they say old dog, new tricks an all. AC on the other hand, depends on the colour! I seem to like off white, bone or maybe even ivory.

I swear this car looks just like the one I had in the 80's.  Crashed into the back of a falcon panel van at a tram stop on Camberwell Rd; car off to Rugulo's for a new front panel and 1/2 right hand front guard.  Sold to a guy from South Australia who knew how to handle Alfetta gearboxes.  Not.  Last I heard it was in Adelaide getting a new box.  Maybe Alfa sold a bunch of Le Mans Blue Alfetta sedans with that inglish style roof aerial and side rubbing strip.

But the car I had was originally owned by Repco who used it as a test mule for some fuel injection development they were doing.  The guy I bought it from was one of their engineers.  Treated it with kid gloves, rebuilt the mechanicals and put a decent rotary compressor on the Aircon.  I bought it 1985 with 54,000kms on the clock.  Sold it 2 years later with 72,000 showing.  Had a bit of fun in the meantime at Winton and various other places, and drove it to Adelaide and back more than once.  Great cars.

I always wanted an Alfetta. I may have left it a bit late. There wouldn't be too many good ones left now. Everyone seems to be restoring GTV's, the sedans have mainly been forgotten. There wasn't many at Spettacolo last year.
