Hi all,

Started a 156 V6 project after many years without a GTA. Gosh I love that Busso engine!

Anyhow, long story short, the rear floor pans have some rust/hole and some work is required around the front seat belt anchorage aswell (that silly plate Alfa put onto the floors to sure up the mounting from tearing through the floor).

Anyone on here now a nice welder who can form repair pieces/do what needs to be done to keep this car on the road?

I really don't want to scrap this car although it is listed on eBay. It's essentially a 2 owner car with a massive, massive history and just lovely in Amazonia green.

I want to restore this car and have bought loads of bits to get started (two front wings, shocks, lower/upper arms, rod ends, drop links, service kit, discs/pads all round etc) and wanted a Wizard exhaust for it.

Does anyone know somebody into welding on the side and can work on this car in their garage or unit?

I am based in Ilford but can have the car transported.

Thanks guys

I know how you feel, i have a 98 v6 that I’m desperate to hang on to. It’s going to Autolusso on Saturday for a checkup...

Same here, I feel your pain as I have a big wing 2.5 in red, sills have gone so need doors off restoration but it'll get done as they are getting rare.
