Ok, thanks i think i know what you mean!! yeah some of the rust spots are going to be very frustrating!!! Ill post some pictures when i get around to doing that...Need some capital now!!!

Ah yes ok that sounds good
so do you spot weld the plate under the body and then body filler the rest or do you have it running flush???.

Hey Guys!!!

Well its the weekend.....About time to!! So i have just finished removing the bumpers!!!!! Was such a mission, the F%$@ing nuts where rusted tight....Don't ask me how but they needed to be cut off with a torch cutter!! Well now the cars starting to take shape!! Dose any body have any advice for welding in plates where the rust is going to be cut out??

Thanks

Hey Justin Yes i am in Cape Town....and sponsor shit would be cool cos theres going to be 3 of us my Mate Garrin and Chad and they both have the same model sprints as I. So our colour scheme is going to be red for Garrin, white for Chad and green my my car. This of course being the colours of the Italian flag! and what we want to do is have exactly the same sponsors!! This will then make our cars extremely noticeable.

- Hammer.. Yes trust me i know!!! Garrin used to race in fine cars(street legal classics) the cars have to be pretty much standard except for racing seat and harness and maybe a sway bar, but other than that they stock! Any way Garrin used to give the MGs a hiding of note and even a few nissans. So i definitely know their capability's.

Not really Scott. Here in South Africa the car has to have the standard block that the car came out with in that era!! SUCKS!!! but would have been nice to do... so the cams are getting profiled and having the motor re bored, etc...

Well it looks as good as it goes....Iv seen some Awesome footage of that car on YouTube.....AND hell dose that thing go...ill try find the video clip from inside the car(that one is amazing) so yes i think it goes as good as it looks.....

Thanks guys for the replies....Not exactly what i was suspecting but never the less.. about the girl.. Well that would be my Girlfriend of about 4 years and a bit, trust me Tracy's seen me waste my money on worse, the funny thing is she actually encouraged me to by the Sud . But yes like i said the Alfa dose need loads of work done.

This is the car ill be replicating but the orange will be green!

Hi guys.

I am from South Africa, and i couldn't find a forum for Alfa's in South Africa. So decided to post here with you Alfa Nuts!

So i bought a Alfa Romeo Sud Sprint, Veloce. The car is full of rust, but the motor is sound. She has a problem with 4th gear but a mate says that the 4th gear is broken..So we sourced a second hand one! The car also over heats, this is a problem i don't know how to get around, we removed the thermostat and still overheats, could it be the fact that we using a Volkswagen Water bottle???

I plan to rebuild her and race her in the Classic class division we have here in South Africa.

Oh and i only payed R 2650 that is about $400

I have uploaded some pics for you guys to view. Any advise would be great.

Regards.
