Alfa 916 Spider

[conaero]

NLA parts is the biggest issue with older Alfa’s. They need to pull their finger out and start producing stuff, or at least allow someone access to the info to make replica bits.
They are not alone with this issue of course!

Bizarrely the only image I could easily find - changing belts on the Busso Lusso - grey with red interior.

Correct calliper colour though. I’ll see myself out.

Ok. It’s red.

Good job you are taking it then.

We used EB Spares for bits and used to hire the camshaft lock kit which came in a pretty wooden box. 3 Italians we have had down south have all been hit in the rear. Up north on the Wirral they were either keyed or stolen

So I should be safe in the Midlands then!

Alfa Workshop and Autolusso I used. Had 3 Spiders, two of them 3.0lt Bussos, and 2 x 3.0 GTVs so know most of their quirks.

Update. Purchased today.
Needs a couple of minor bit but mechanically sound, solid and sounds fantastic with the exhaust that is fitted. All for <£3000
Ps. The launch edition 4C is currently for sale if anyone is interested.

Zoe Yellow nice choice

 

[Gazcw]

Well they fit. Ignore the ladders as still need to put hooks up.
Brownie points banked. She loves it.

Welcome to the Zoe club. I’ve just restored this little beauty. Bit of a labour of love but had to finish it.

Enjoy , nice in yellow. Personally I don't think the front spoiler suits it, clumsy in my eyes. I've had three of them the over the years, two bussos and a mk 3 jts.

Great little car.
Not a fan of the front appendage either but it’s no big deal.
Took the GTA out today for a run, such good fun these old Alfa’s, very different to modern cars.

Nice. Yes I have some bits to sort but nice and solid. Window rubbers are not great so trying to find some decent replacements.

Yes it has the cup bumper on it. I can live with it.

Front and rear subframes on those 916 Alfas are the killer!

Well at nearly 23 yrs old it has lasted better than Maserati subframes. Has some surface rust to sort in the spring pans etc but seems solid elsewhere. It will go through some protection work over the coming months.

nice motor @Gazcw - might start my own hunt, again.

Spring pans more than the rest.
