Title: New toy! Can't wait to get her on road
Post by: waterau on July 28, 2017, 11:57:42 PM
Just got her delivered today! Getting RWC done right now and hopefully will be able to put her on club plate soon.

See you all around!

Hi Johnathan "Waterau"
Your new 105 series acquisition looks absolutely gorgeous alongside your 4C and it appears the Alfa Romeo bug has definitely bitten you in the very short space of time of owning the Alfa Romeo marque. Did you end up purchasing her locally or was it a national/worldwide hunt? Looks like she has a recent ground up restoration.
Wise choice on putting her on club plates as the savings on keeping her on the road might lead you to ............who knows (another Alfa to the collection)

Congrats on the purchase Jonathan. Looks sweet.

But I'm an old bogan at heart, so I say use the savings you made by putting her on club plates and lower her. Meannnnnn.....

Indeed. Was hunting for a 105 series ever since I saw a 1750 GT. Although I like the 1750 GT slightly more but just cant justify the price tag. This 2000 GT is close enough and it does appear that there was a complete restoration done to it. Purchased it interstate without even seeing it in person lol!

RWC should be done early next week then onto the club permit application. Next one on the hit list is probably a 1986 spider or a GTV6... Really addictive.

Hi Johnathan "Waterau"
Agree a nice stance (lowered) and good set of wheels similar to the ones pictured or a set of period Simmons should really fit the bill.

Congrats!

Nice car, nice colour....

Just get some snake badges for the rear pillars, get the correct wiper arms/blades, some nice wheels and away you go!

Good Luck with it.

Cheers.

Nice!  What year is it and do you get much history on the car?  Looks like fun times ahead. 8)

It is a 74 complied but sadly i do not have much info on the history. I was told by the previous owner that it has been his wife's car for many years in Cooma. Just got her back from mechanics with a club plate on today!
