Had to share this one, customer picked up this barn find alfa and commissioned us to go to town on it!...... i want it so badly! she was stored in a barn for 15 years and man it was a stinker! we even managed to source the original speedline fake split rim bolts and have the wheels turned on a lathe to replicate the original finish!

here's the full video if anyone is interested!

Funny how things change over time. Fifteen years ago you couldn't give a 164 away! :o
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I have a soft spot for any Lancia Delta having had 3

However they have lots of very soft spots and I've seen horrid examples for BIG money

Thats before you start to talk electrical dramas, highly strung gearboxes and engines....

But I still would!
If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

An old Italian? I must be getting old because I still think of the car as fairly current. :)
Great work as usual, would love to hear more about that steam wand you are using, looks like it works well.
