Haven't been sitting around here though. Some luck (or maybe some commiseration) with my Alfetta. After 40 years, he's gone to a new home. A fellow Alfa enthusiast drove around a thousand miles to pick him up - and then another 1k miles to take him back home.
Trying to add some pics, but can't for some reason.
Cheers,
Glen
edit: funny, pics can upload now (now 26 October)
So.... here he is, almost ready to go:
Incidentally, the colour is Posillipo Blue (very dark, a fantastic colour on an Alfa, but the I'm biased)
....and now all wrapped ready for the trip back home to Armidale, NSW:
Richard (he bought the Alfetta) had a dry trip almost all the way back home, and then a hail storm hit just before arrival home. The wrap was to avoid stone damage, but luckily, prevented hail damage as well!
More: How's the home-made engine hoist? He brought that from home, assembled it, loaded the engine onto the front of the trailer, then disassembled the hoist and repacked it on the ute. A really nice bloke, as well as resourceful.
