164 'Restoration'

[V AR 164]

Got my car back again from mechanics where I got outer tie rods, steering rack rubber mounts and 2 engine mounts replaced.

Here's what 1 old engine mount and the steering rack rubbers looked like






It was time for them to go...


Thanks Dean!
I'm not that bad (not yet anyway)...

Thanks, Andrew.

Wow, it's going to feel like a different car now!!

Finally!!!

Picked it up this afternoon and passed!
Time to get paperwork sent off and get it registered! Can't wait!


It certainly does feel different now, much more planted and feels new!

Also anyone here going to spettacolo? I'm going although not entering the car but I'll be bringing it along to make its debut. Hope to see some other 164's there too.

Thanks, Andrew.

I am going along to Spectacolo as with thousands of others, Andrew by all means, bring along your 164 and enter it, from memory there was only a few 164's there last year, so polish yours up and enter and be prepared for lots of talking, see you there, Colin.

Thanks Colin,

I just don't think it's worthy. There is paint fading a little bit on the roof and threre are a quite a few different shades of red on it. If cars like this are 'allowed' I'll definitely enter it then.

Thanks, Andrew.

I look forward to seeing you there Col.

We haven't discussed "which is the best oil to use in my Alfa" recently.

[colcol]

Which is the best oil to use?, far too many disputes going on at the moment to touch this one.....so how about, when i change my oil, which is the best oil filter to use?, Colin.

[Garibaldi]

Col, which is the best oil filter to use? 

[V AR 164]

Well, We've done it! 



After a lot of work, time, money and love, my 164 is officially registered for the first time in 12 years.

See you all at Spettacolo!

Andrew.

[Evan Bottcher]

Good one Andrew!

[Garibaldi]

Great job, will we be seeing you at Spettacolo?

[Joe Garra]

Congratulations, looks very good!

Thanks guys!

Yes, I'll be there as well as my car which will be on the oval, some come past and say hi!

Andrew.

Congrats Andrew, looks great with the historic plates on it. Would love to say hi at Spettacolo & talk 164s but will be away for holidays.

Today one of my headlight washer nozzles decided it was no longer needed. I believe it is camping out on the Calder freeway at the moment.

Anyone know if it is difficult to swap the whole unit from car to car? I suspect the bumper needs to come off?

Thanks, Andrew.
