Hi all... I have just bought my first Alfa... looking forward to a light resto and a fun little car for Sunday drives in synny Canberra. Keen to engage with like minded folks....

Well, fancy that. I've got a white '85 QV Sprint that I'm in the process of getting on historic plates. In Canberra. Very much looking forward to comparing cars.

and I have a Red 1986 Sprint QV that is also waiting on Historic Rego.
Should all meet up at Auto Italia next year.
Im a bit further away in Pambula on the far south coast
I had a white '88 QV Sprint, built 85. Put many 100's kay's on it, all flat out.
(also in Canberra, donated to to Autotech after the chassis rails split and I moved to London).
I loved that car to pieces (literally).
Perhaps one of you has resurrected it 8)
This thread is useless without pics.
Fair enough, here is mine
Pics when mine rolls off the transporter on Thurs... but for now a sneak peak...

Auto Italia is the target for mine to be done.... we can compare rust stories...

Looks like a fun project, is that one of the ones from Qld?
Let me know when you need parts, I have a parts car stripped in the shed.
Happy to help out a fellow nutter, sorry enthusiast.
Thanks mate... yes it is the last of Tony from Queensland's desert raiders... he shipped it full of parts so will see what I need... really appreciate the offer.

Next time I'm up Canberra way I'll get in touch, would be great to have a chat and a beer and talk Alfa for a while.
Is it as you expected? Much work to do?
Arrived a day early as well!
Looks really good actually... the advantage of the big vinyl stickers is they have protected a lot of paint... need some new front seats though. ... do you have any in your stash??

Hey Ross,
Sorry, unregistered at the moment.
Need to organise an inspection and then the historic plates/rego.
I'm Northside (Holt) and happy for you to come and check out my car if you like.

How bad are your seats? My spares are not all that good drivers has a big split up the side of back passenger is better. Maybe some parts from mine would help fix yours.
Post some pics of yours.
Mine are.... absent. They have been replaced with proper racing seats.

I take it you didn't get the race seats :(
To be honest one of mine I found last night when I dug them out has been pee'd on by mice.
I guess with a good wash with some odour removing cleaner it would be ok.
As I said they are not great, I have a good back seat though.
If you are willing to drive to Merimbula you can have the seats and any other bits you need that I have to get you on the road, I need to clean out the shed and you are welcome to whatever I have that's any good to you, even have a body shell.
I'll PM you my address if your interested
