Photos of just GTV 105's

[Silver105]

What about we create a thread for posting just photos of Australian 105's ... much like the one on alfabb.com.

Kids have named the car "Alfie" which seems a little odd when I have always thought of 105's as sexy females given the curves..

Lets see what great 105 cars we have in OZ

Cheers

Sorry for the quality but here you go:




And yes the wheels need to go....  I think I will spend some time in photoshop, now where are some shots of mini-lites?

A stepnose 105 with those wheels....OMG.... mini lites or orginal steel rims are a must.... you'll have to post new photos once you get them. Looks nice from the front, what is the plan for the car ?

Or crommadoras, Momo Vegas or BWAs.  All Italian and correct period.

stepnose 105 with those wheels....OMG

Car must of been sleeping around ( espically with Saab's) to end up with those wheels. But it looks like its got real character.

Jeeze talk about a reaction!   

It's not original, yes the wheels need to go, and yes they are going.....

Anyways the intentions:
- occasional sprint
- occasional tarmac(too low for anything else) club event

The list of mods(completed at time of back to metal resto in 2001/2002:
  - Koni shocks
  - thicker swaybars
  - slightly lower than normal
  - battery is in the boot
  - Battery isolation switch
  - period correct(or close, ie. 70's) intermittent wiper control
  - wheel nuts all converted to RH
  - bicycle speedo for accurate KPH (and yes it does go to 160Kph... or so I am told).
  - Engineering Cert to a 2 seater with 4 point harnesses
  - Completely re-wired with new fuz box, relays etc.  So at least the electrics are pretty reliable.

The suspect list:
- Brake booster removed, $#%@ Bonaldi unit, just run without it, and I push harder.... it's amazing what you can do with a bit of adrenaline.
- Clutch - was sus from when the car was re-built - probably not helped by an oil leak or two
- Tacho needle fell off - and both the tacho cable and speedo cable(found out about this today) need to be replaced(I have the tacho cable in stock - but putting it off as it is a $#%# of a job)
- Door hinges (and the retention straps, yes the doors are marked... )h
- Boot seal
- a little bit of visible rust around the step nose and in the odd other spot.

It will never be a concourse winner, but it is good fun (in the dry). A little scary in the wet, I just don't go around corners very fast in the wet.

P.S. This is my 4th Alfa, 3 Alfetta Sedans previously, 78, 81, and 84(Motronic injected with Variable inlet timing).  They had a habit of spitting sun gears, from an over zealous application of the right foot...

Mr Bing...

nice car

quick question. I noticed in your pic that you have a slight dip to the car on the rear nearside. Is this just the way the pic was taken or is this actually the case.  I ask because mine does the same thing and I was wondering if this was just how they are or if the they have a common issue.

cheers

Slope on the driveway....

[w47ty]

ah...bugger

well it is off for a service shortly.  shocks feel ok so not sure what it is. I am not the worlds greatest mechanic so I really have no idea.

thanks for the response though mate

[Bada Bing]
