Building a Group S Alfetta GTV 2000 in 3.5 months

[Glenn Campbell]

Started 25 March 2009 and completed July 10, it was a relatively quick build.

Thanks to Meridian Motorsport for a superb rollcage, Spyderauto in Warragul for the mechanical expertise, Vin Sharp for specialist group S bits, Alfaparts for quick service and Warragul Panels for a great color selection and paint job.

I'm incredibly impressed by how quickly you have finished this project, well done. You make it look easy, but I'm sure it wasn't. I'd be interested to know what you have done with the mechanicals, engine etc.

Well done. 

It's taken me 5 months to source an Alfa 75 transaxle and get the gearbox modified and it's still not in the car!  However, it is all happening now so hopefully sometime before I turn 50 I too will be on the track.  Getting work done in Canberra is nigh on impossible.

What suspension mods did you make?

[Glenn Campbell]

It was pretty straight forward, after plenty of good advice from AROCA Forum members. The engine is pretty standard at this stage - waiting for extra $ before I upgrade seriously. Vin Sharp at PACE Engineering supplied all the suspension mods that still meet the group S requirements: heavy duty torsion bars, sway bars, rear springs, front end mods etc.  Paying a mechanic to help with some of the mechanicals always helps too. It's only money - the 944 cabriolet had to go to make space (and $) for the GTV.
