Built with inspiration from the South African 3.0 GTV6 racing homologation specials I purchased this NA spec 1981 GTV6 in 2018 and have since extensively recommissioned the car, with an eye towards reliability, potential daily use and the occasional track day. 3.0 Busso V6 from a 1987 Milano Verde, ...

I feel pretty lucky that Alfa Parts in Berkley CA had some 'new old stock' pins (part number 60526581).
Ricambi Originali! I bought two of the six in stock
Lets hope this fixes the sag...

So it looks like the VW Beetle also uses 8mm hinge pins and perhaps more interestingly, there are some suppliers who sell an oversize pin with a reamer: https://www.wolfsburgwest.com/cart/DetailsList.cfm?ID=111831421C Not sure how long this pin is, needs to be at least 46mm. This would be 0.321"...

Side note.. these photos show that my car is definitely well used, this has never been a weekend car. It’s not quite so grimy irl

Thanks MD - a slide hammer is a good option (and a welder), but I don't have either at my disposal this weekend :cry: But I have been able to remove both pins! I used this dremel cut-off tool and was able to use a drift to knock the pin slightly out (about 8mm at a time) and then the dremel to cut o...

I got the hinge pin on the bottom of the door out, just using a drift and a hammer. This is obviously the easy one. Seems to be 8mm in diameter and about 46mm in length. Its not held in by anything except friction (the top and bottom are not squashed to prevent the pin from moving out of the hinge) ...

Mine is always a project

Hey Guys: Has anyone here replaced the hinge pin? My 1981 GTV6 has door sag. I removed the door from the car and confirmed there's a massive amount of play in the joint. Not surprising after 40 years :-) Any ideas on sourcing a suitable replacement? I'm guessing these are not available any longer (p...

I think to do it right, I'd need to fabricate something like this:

Yeah filters of course, AHM also makes an air box base plate designed for pipercross filters, true that I'd lose the benefit of my current cold-air intake, which is unfortunate.

Hey guys: What do you reckon about the feasibility of going ITB with my current GTV6 3.0 12V? I already have a Megasquirt installed so I daresay I can get the calibration correct, and a company in the UK called AHM sell a kit, which apparently has most of the bits needed to install this, so there wo...

I have had a few people ask me for an update on the project, its been literal years so I thought I'd make a YouTube video, rather than just post a bunch of pics.
