My friend Alan has started up a bodyshop, he came with me to the Duxford event in his red 33 16v & is a big Alfa 33 fan. He is doing a full respray on my M reg 33, i'll post progress pics on here as i get them. He is hoping to get some work his way so if anyone needs work doing let me know, i know Nnamdi is considering him when we see how good mine comes out.

| Looks like it's rust free - not bad! Is Alan any good at bodywork / rust repairs? |

The bodywork is very good, just many shades of red/pink, knackered front bumper, mirrors are tatty and the roof is a tad "sunburnt".
Alan is a perfectionist with the cars he works on, if there is a rusty panel he will sort it or replace it before the new paint goes on. 
The roof is getting there.

How come the trims were not removed, can you see any lines ect ect??

I told them just to give it a quick coat of paint & not to go to huge lengths as i couldn't afford to pay them for a 100% job, but they didn't listen & they have done a much better job than i expected. You can't get the side door trims off in tact and a set of new ones cost £145! i had to drawer the line somewhere & i still think the job i got is worth at least twice what i payed. These guys are perfectionists so if the customer wants a perfect job, they will strip the car to the customers needs. 1 of their next projects is to fully respray a 156 GTA, changing it from grey to red & fitting wide fibre glass panels, will be a replica of the touring cars.

Gotcha, I had some work done on my yellow ser 2 and the cowboys didn't remove the ariel and there were lines around it, not impressed, didn't even flatten it out, same around the door lock.

Alex, from the pics looks like a great job. I can tell you're happy with it. Wish I could see it in the metal. take plenty of pictures NAD. Are you putting the 33 badges back on?

Looks like a great job Alex!
My 33 is in similar condition to how your was; structurally sound, very little rust, but every shade of red/pink imaginable and in need of a respray (anyone who's seen it will vouch for that).
I'd really want them to look at it and quote before I begin stripping (I'm thinking glass out and probably would replace the trim), though I could borrow a trailer to get it to them once stripped. Where are they based? How do I contact them?
I think I'll need a replacement front bumper with no cracks and a good offside door mirror too if anyone can help?
Cheers - John

| Trying to figure out if I prefer your S2 side skirts or the normal 16v side skirts. What does everyone else think? Definately prefer the S2 door handles though. |

I prefer the S2 skirts and door handles. However on my car, i can“t do it.
I have the S2 skirts & door handles ready to aply, but as my car is totally original, it seems wrong to do it.
If i had another one then probably i would do it
