sprint project anyone?

i suppose everyone will have seen the white sprint now for sale on ebay
don't know why but something about this car just looks right to me, i wish i had more space then i could get it and start on it after the sud is done can't find anywhere to store it for the next 5 years though
doesn't look too bad though really, filthy obviously but white will show rust up like a sore thumb and there isn't anything obvious, what it's like underneath though may well be a different story
wheels suit it though to me

I saw it and thought exactly the same, except I thought the wheels were awful!

I guess it wouldn't do for us all to be the same!

no, wheels are always a personal taste thing, which surprises me that i liked them as i usually stay with the originals must have been a bit late last night looking at it

nope, just looked again and still like em

I think the wheels suit it very well

Wish I had the space to store it

Well it looks to be in better condition than my latest one!! but I am NOT to be TEMPTED!!!!

Can someone post a link because I can't find it!!

Thanks FD

It doesn't look too bad a condition, just needs a good dusting

I had one of these new in 85 loved it been seduced by the ways of the vw flag for many years but seeing this has rekindled my love of the marq What are parts like to get hold of for these cars today just trying to gauge workload before jumping in as my heart is telling me too

any info would be greatly appreciated

most service/engine parts are still easily available, you just struggle with some trim parts and things like headlights. worst of all is the rust if you go look at it then pay particular attention to jacking points/fllors/wing mounting rails/rear quarters under windows/windscreen surround plus all the usual areas
mechanically the engine should be fine, gearbox may well have weak synchro's, brakes should be outboard on this year same as the 33 so thats fine. brilliant cars though

yea sure is had mine for 5 years before a 33 cloverleaf veloce

sure am tempted waiting for reply on viewing

certainly is a big part of alfa ownership this forum, and in particular the 33/sud/sprint section i had a 156 last year and the guys on that lounge take it far too serious
