Can I be a cheeky bloke and ask how much the respray was?

It's been done with the help of a mate and a pal of his who was doing a bit of moonlighting to help keep the cost down. I'd rather no say how much I spent, however it was an absolutely bargain to get this car looking respectable again.

1984 Alfetta GTV 2000. My first step into Transaxleland. Quite a bit different from the S2 Spider I used to own !

Nice!

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

New addition.

Trying again because I am an idiot…

Don't worry, we can see it's a beautiful car!

The two finest Alfa’s of recent years !

Here's my heavily modified Q2. I bought it in 2017 with a snapped belt, rebuilt it and now use it as a test bed for ideas.

There're a couple of other Alfas in the shed too, but they're waiting for total rebuilds. Sheds in the shed!

Nice, I see lots of unloved ones about sadly

Love the white wheels! Looks great all round.

Thanks! I was quite lucky with the wheels - they're 17in. Speedlines and came from the stuff that Tim Harvey's team sold when the 147 BTCC team split. I managed to buy them for next to nothing as nobody else wanted them!

Oof, love the white wheels.

2006 facelift two litre over here: what should I do to the spring / damper setup?
I love an A110 feel and I won't go too low. Currently on 17" (GTV) Tristars 215/45 Pilot Sports.

Thanks...... Suspension? Depends what you do with the car and how much £ you want to spend. I'd say avoid coilovers unless you're going to spend decent money as there's a lot of junk out there which will be worse than standard. I'm running Eibach sport springs and Koni sport dampers with Eibach ARBs. Drop is only 30mm. The dampers are adjustable for rebound but I've also re-shimmed them to soften compression a little. Works well on road and track. Stiffer ARBs are a must I'd say, they can transform the handling and even start to bring a bit of oversteer when wanted.

That said, the best money you could spend on yours, unless it's already fitted, would be a Q2 diff. Totally different car with/without.

I have just inherited one of those in black with the Pelle Frau seats, very nice

Right colour and right wheels!
