This is what I will be driving in the next 2 Months
Up to a few Months ago I was driving a 156 Sportwagon fitted with a Bigger Motor( 3 litre) with some Tuning Modifications pushing out 168 Kw on the Wheels at 6000ft above Sea Level! Phenomenal for a normally aspirated motor.
I had some trouble with the timing Belt which skipped a few teeth, bending the valves, very annoying ( and expensive)
So, I came to an arrangement with Claudio , A local Alfa expert, who wants to put a Turbo induction 2 litre Alfa Motor into a Station Wagon .
Gave him My Body , Purchased a just Resprayed Alfa Romeo GT ( Red , of course) which has a stripped 3.2 V6 engine in need of a rebuild.
The Body I gave him is paying for the Labour and most of the Parts , this one will be bog standard , other than having GTA camshafts in it, should still be close on a 250 Kph car though!
Some people just cannot grow old Gracefully?, what can I say?, still waiting to grow up to see what I want to be?
I will, of course, let you, my friends, have progress reports on this , and wait impatiently to ride this Beauty!
I have learned a bit of patience with age , so am not sitting on tenterhooks waiting.
Besides , tomorrow I am pulling the Cylinder head off a Spare Motor and Gearbox I managed to acquire for this:-

A little gift for u :)
Thank you.
Nice post. You gotta like the Italian cars. The aesthetic is something else. I few years back I was in Italy for a couple of weeks and rented an Alfa wagon. I think its number was 140, but I could be wrong. Very nice car. Great sound. Great driving car, but best of all was the look. It looked amazing from every angle. Not just the exterior. The dash, vents, knobs etc. were all done in typical Italian style. It was a work of art.
Anyway, thanks for posting. Cheers @buckydurddle
They do make really nice looking cars, Thanks.
I love driving. And I love cars. Thank you for this work
Pleasure, thanks.
That is very nice modified car, enjoy! I'm looking forward for next reports :)
Will Update, Thanks.
Wow! This is a wonderful auto!
Thank You.
You have a good choice of cars. Lovely. I love cars too, but a little bit short of funds to get them. So i admire you having dis cars.
Thank You.
When they are on the road, its an Italian beast, Hope you are able to prepare the Alfa in the right way and have safe and fast km/miles !!!
Thank you
You're a master of phrases! "Still waiting to grow up to see what I want to be?" - it'great!) I like your posts for these things! ) Cool car! I hope everything will be done quickly! Thanks for sharing dear @awgbibb!
Me Too, thanks.
damn gimme just for 2 hour :D
Nope, Thanks.
I love Alfa Romeo's.
They have a pretty nice design and I love the headlights and the backlights.
I can't wait to see some pictures of you with your car @awgbibb. I wish I could afford a beauty like that and hopefully I can as steemit grows but my posts have been struggling a little recently.
Keep us updated with the work being done on the car! :)
Thank you, I actually obtained this project at a really good price as the owner was offered a Race Car at a very good price and needed to buy it quickly, and yes Steemit did assist me in having the funds!
I don't like the design of this car but it's a confortable one :D
To each his own! Thanks.
Is that your dream car? awgbibb
Not necessarily ,but I am fond of Alfa's. Loved my old Jaguar's as well , and the Opel 2 litre 16 valve was also great. I had a VW Beetle , years ago , that was Quicker than the Porsche's of the same era!
Wow nice car(s)
Thanks.
Alfa Romeo is a beautiful car, and aging does not need to hurry. :)
Thank you.
