[quote="john 33_16v"]Bobbber, Please open the box of new stuff, and post in 'for sale and wanted' what you've got. You probably have a better stock than AR themselves, parts are getting trickier by the day :evil: Be very careful with Sprints. They are probably the sexiest Alfa made ever, and very alluring. Trouble is they make even alfasuds seem like scimitars when it comes to rusting. My father had an 85 sprint clover from new, and there was rust on the sills on collection (I'm not joking). It went on to gradually break his heart until by 6 years old and countless remedial jobs the 'a posts' were found to be pretty much rotten away. He then sold it to me, who had the posts welded up and fitted new wings. i kept it in reasonable shape thanks to literally gallons of waxoyl over the next few years. My brother got charmed by an 82 chrome bumper in the late 90s and despite the warnings, he bought it, and watched it rot away, and spunk his wages away in welding for a couple of years. Having said this, i saw an alfasud today for sale that looked really good. i had to be very strong, and drive on! John 33 16v 1993 145 2.0 clover coming soon (for the trouble and strife)[/quote]
