What's an Alfa Romeo?

[DarthVerde]

Well finally made it to an update.

Rotors arrived today so i could put the rest of my suspension together, get it on the ground, and check my ride height again.





Satisfied with the ride height for now. It may not be to your taste, but its going to be a track car and these are the stock 15's, ill be running 17's when i get it on the road.





Since the front is on the ground, ill be starting the rear suspension. I will get updates in the next couple days.

Stay tuned!

where in maryland are you??? i thought this was gonna be a UK or euro build when i opened it up

[DarthVerde]

Western Maryland. About 2 hours from Baltimore, dc, or Pittsburgh

Here's sum inspiration.


Build this completly from the ground with a mate of mine, very rare bodykit. 2.0TS with some mods pushing 170hp, yellow koni shocks and 8cm lower alround.

Not a fan of the green, everything else is good.

Going for a stock but nice looking track car. I appreciate the share though! People don't realize what's out there!

Well its been quite a while for an update because of doing other things. New job, two jobs at that. Working on my other Alfa, and trying to fit everything else in between.
So finally got around to doing some work on the Verde. Feels good to be back at it though.

This rear end is a mess. Full of busted bushings, and tons of rust.











So far i have all my new bushings, springs, shocks, but the list is far from done.

For the rear end I still need:
- brake caliper rebuild kit (obviously they were leaking)
-new pads and hardware
-rotors,
-need new axle boots and rebuild
-diff mount
-both guibos (flex joints)
-center support bearing

Going to have the DeDion tube, transmission crossmember, shift rod, and a few other things media blasted and powder coated.

New hardware for places that need.
Hopefully upgrade rear sway bar.
Replace brake and clutch lines.
And whatever else that comes along.



The rotors are stuck on there and big problem.... No brakes because im redoing all of that also. Bad time.



DeDion is out.



Rear Subframe is rusty as hell, but what isnt on this car it seems.



Driveshaft Out.



Time to order some more parts, and get everything off to be cleaned!

Hopefully remembering to stay up to date in the upcoming weeks. Trying to get my other Alfa ready for some winter changes. So I have some projects going on for that.

wonderful! I have always wanted an 80's alfa

[FunfGang]

Well hey there!

Ps. I really want your 164s

[DutchStance]

Are you gonna drop the transmission? Start soaking that upper bolt, once took met 2 nights to get it off.
Did threw away quit a couple of brake calipers becuz they were stuck...

Love what your doing, keep going!

[DarthVerde]

I may drop the Trans, I haven't decided yet except it would probably make it easier to rebuild my calipers and fix my brake and clutch line.

[DutchStance]

Check the clutch slave cilinder also, there quit prone to leaking. I've heard sum land rover cilinder wil fit an work to.

[DarthVerde]

The clutch slave is new. I replaced it a couple months ago in hoping to get the car on the road then. Winter rolled around so it's been sitting. It's going to be a completely different car once it's road worthy again. I have my 164 to pass the time though!
