Show us your 90

[dehne]

i have a set of B45 for the grey one which are colour coded, but they need to be reco'd so im looking at getting that done then i might put them back on, or i might just sell them

[wetprickles]

Have posted these before but happy to be included here.

Three beautiful cars, I reckon so far it's neck-and-neck between dehne's grey one (nice looking car dehne, how far is it lowered at the front?), WETPRICKLES' bluey (needs to be lowered at the front), and going by Typhoon90s progress his will be rolling off the showrooom floor by November.  And none of them are from Melbourne, who's going to make the long drive to Spettacolo to feature in the big day?

Failing that, I reckon we display Robin's 90, install his new 500bhp V6, and just let people-who-don't-know-Alfas (or as I like to call them, weirdos) think that the 90 was the fastest car Alfa ever made.

Another pic of Prickles' 90, taken from my 90 in the line-up at PI earlier this year.

Ironsides.  Function over form.  It's more fun passing a Porsche when your car is this ugly.

I think we could display Robin's 90 and Alan Goodall's 75 and a few others in the SFA (stupidly fast alfas) section.

Dehne, your white 90 Super has scrubbed up quite alright after a good tub, did you polish it as well and would you consider putting the original wheels back on just for this excercise, we need the cars to look as close to original as possible.

Wetprickles, lovely example, fancy a boat ride?

You have seen my red 90 when it was for sale on your side of Oz.(It's done less than 90,000 km's from new)

im going to bring one of the down for the show i would prefer to bring the grey one hopefully the shock tower is done and a little rust cut from the front gaurd, if not will bring the white one as its stock standard and i will put the orig rims on which ever i bring down, no polish on either just washed, as far as ive worked out with papers ect the white one has only done 170,000 where the grey one is up to 500,000 and going strong

Looking good John.

Mike has a great 90 Super down in Hobart, although the paint is a little faded, it runs drives better than mine.

Hi Anthony
Would like to but won't be driving very far until I work out how to fix the ticking noise in the motor. Then again maybey I should turn up and get you guys to give me some tips on fixing it. Happy to do the work, just not sure what to do.

Regards

If everything is o.k. with cylinder heads,meaning camshafts,valves and valve springs than some of your cylinders (liners) and pistons are worn out and need replacement.I had that case on my 3.0 V6 engine.
Sorry on off topic but I couldn't resist  .

This is how good the Ugly Duckling can look.

A nice Dutch combination.

Looks like we will havea  few 90's on the field.  Any more and I will have to set up a specialty Wash'n Shine award due to a high volume of entrants.

Great to see that we have so many people volunteeing to present their cars on the day.  This one could be a tough decision.

I have been recently offered a showroom low km car that is ownerd by an Alfa Specialist (not a sponser yet but has committed to advertise next year).

They also have very neat GTV, 164 and I think an Alfetta.

Hi here is my 90. Its a 1986 Super it has  a 3 litre and extractors. That's about it. It could use a bit of tidying up but being a tow car for the race car it always seems to come last!

Has anyone else ever seen one in this colour? It's dark green.

[Typhoon90]

How do you find the rear body structure holding up for towing? There's a whole lot of bugger all structurally behind the axle on these cars. It obviously works for you, must have a lot of towbar under there!

Regards, Andrew.

[Anthony Miller]

Hey Marcus, she scrubs up alright with a tub, thank Jebus we can wash our cars again.

Andrew, where are the glamour shots of yours mate?

[Typhoon90]

If it stops raining here on the weekend, I'll try to snap a photo or two!

Regards, Andrew.
