No worries, and gluck with the rebuild.
Keep us posted with photos.
Im keen to see how long it takes you, and costs involved, as Im keen to get one started myself. I would do quite a bit of the work myself tho, which would help save some cash.
here is a pic of my old baby: clicky
Note that the black grill on the bonnet had fallen off just before I took that pic

So you are staring into an ugly hole.

An estimated 750 were assembled before all production ceased in 1986. The South African market also introduced the 3.0 L GTV-6, predating the international debut of the factory's 3.0 L engine in 1987. Approximately 200 were built in South Africa for racing homologation. To this day, the GTV-6 remains the quintessential Alfa Romeo for South Africans.
