Buy/Swap/Sell [Announce ONLY] / 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint ...

Last post by Anth73 - May 25, 2024, 02:01:12 PM

For sale is a rare Australian delivered 1966 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce stepnose shell with doors and door glass. It is on a frame, has been blasted and rust cutout but requires extensive repairs.

The good: One of approximately 300 Alfa Romeos sold in Australia in 1966 and one of only 1407 ever made in RHD with certified Australian delivery from Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo. Originally white with tan interior. Restored GT Veloces are now in excess of $100K.

The bad: The shell requires extensive repairs and replacement panels e.g. floor, sills, boot, front clip, front and rear quarter panels, windscreen scuttle. This will cost a lot of money for a bodyshop to do. This project is possibly best suited to a passionate Alfisto with metalwork skills to do the work themselves.

I will also be listing an extensive inventory of hard to find spare parts I accumulated with the intention to restore the car to its former glory given its rarity. This includes the RHD specific pedals for cable clutch cars.

Please contact me via SMS on 0408 408 259 for further details, pricing and photos.

Thanks,
Anthony

The blue 156 v6 developed a leak in the upper small heater hose and after a lot of enquiry. The replacement part is no longer available and i havent been able to find a local manufacturer to make the formed hose...
Will be attempting to create a replacement over the next 2 weeks. By connecting the dissimilar pipe diameters with a 3 part of assembly of 2 hoses and a small radiused steel pipe custom made by a fitter and turner.

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Re: Giulietta door mirror

Last post by GTVeloce - May 22, 2024, 07:16:15 PM

From memory, you need to angle the glass as much as possible to expose the mechanism behind. Then, using a long thin flat head screwdriver, rotate the backing plate either clockwise or anti-clockwise (can't remember which sorry). This allows the mechanism to pull out from the plastic housing.

In saying this, I have only pulled the drivers side mirror apart which is cable operated unlike the passenger electric mirror. I assume the technique to access would be the same however.

Interesting post Rob. I was talking to a 75 y.o Group M driver on the weekend and mentioned this. He said he has extracted himself from his car in 2.5 seconds, just after he found out the car was on fire !!!.

Hey mate, if you or anyone are still facing this issue I called about 8 places and could only get results from Monza Motors and Zagame in Victoria. Both able to deliver within a few days, hope this helps. You're expecting about $300 - 400.

116 Series (Alfetta Sedan/GT/GTV & Giulietta Sedan) / Re: DHLA40 carb woes.

Hey Giulia Veloce,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with my other alfetta has decided to play up too so I've been focusing all my attention on that this week.

Sorry but im a mechanic raised in the EFI age, but I'm trying g to get the hang of this carby stuff. How do I measure the ammount of fuel that comes out? Where's it gonna squirt?
I cleaned put all jets by blowing air through them.

I had the venturis and chokes out and cleaned them too. The manual says not to remove them.  Have I done a bad thing by doing that? I couldn't imagine it doing any harm at the time.

Thanks,
Luke
