Hi Patanga- welcome along.
Car looks too good to strip down!- The Oz climate suits them, although amazed the paint hasn't turned to mat pink- resprayed?

Hi John. Yes it is a tidy car but as they aren't in abundant supply over here my chances of finding one in lesser condition in any sort of reasonable time frame are fairly limited. Having said that it didn't break the bank to buy and I will sell off the interior trim bits for another 33 owner to upgrade their early model so it wont be going to waste. I've seen the disgusting shade of pink you mentioned on a 156 recently and a friend of mine has a 147 TS that looks to be starting to go that way too. I thought the problem had been sorted by that model?.. Not a spot of rust in my 33 either. Aus weather helps. I will post pictures and details as the project progresses. ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) |

Hi again.
No to your respray question. It's the original paint. I plan to repaint it in Rosso to match our team's other race car which is a tarmac rally 147 GTA 300hp. The team also races a 200hp 79 2L GTV in tarmac and sprint events. If you are keen to have a look you can see them at www.mountainroadracing.com |
