New Owner and Project - 08/07/2020 21:54
Hi All
Just purchased a 1996 16v Turbo as a restoration project.
Always something I have wanted to do and have owned Fiats, Abarth's and currently an Alfa for all my motoring life.
Sadly the previous owner passed away and the car has been sat for 8 years unused but covered on a drive (which I happened to be running past on the day it was uncovered as needed a new cover fitting otherwise I would never have seen her!!)
Lots of history and can see it was much loved previously however has been left to deteriorate.
Bodywork in pretty good condition but expecting some issues underneath but will need a full respray.
Interior looks good and solid.
Plan is to do a full rebuild/repair and bring up to a good standard, keeping it pretty original where possible.
Not got a fixed timescale yet but aiming to do most work myself with some help from a few friends and family.
Great to see some of the projects on the site and have paid my £10 today to join up fully.
Looking forward to learning more about the car and hopefully showing improvements and completion along the way and eventually meeting up at some events (when we are allowed)
