Kevin that could be a plan, just need to get the car from New Zealand hopefully in the next month and get it roadworthy here in in Brisbane then we will talk.

Cheers

Man i wish i was that clever to make things like that, Kevin they look great. Still grumpy about the bonnet!!! maybe you need to move to Aussie and bring all your clever stuff with you. Brisbane is magic.

Tom

Hi Jason thanks, it will need an engineers approval, then a road worthy. I will give John French a ring closer to the arrival time. There is a guy in Bowen hills as well that will do it, i think it is good to deal with people that have past experience with Alfas.

Tom

Hello guys, finally moved over to sunny Brisbane and my car will be coming over sometime towards the end of next month.
I have approval paperwork all sorted to bring the car in to Australia, any recommendations/ advice on who to take the car to for compliance / roadworthy??

Cheers
Tom

Thanks Mike, was starting to have withdrawals.... good news about your car. Is it all sorted now?

Tom

Any decent paint shop will be able to mix the colour if you have the code. Got a bottle made up for mine a year ago.

Nothing as dramatic as you guys with big 3.7s and turbos, but my tired 2.5 has been replaced by a standard 3.0 from a 164. Used the 2.5 intake and distributor in the mean time and also to keep it looking original. Just taken it into work so it can get a new warrant and rego tomorrow. First impressio...

Yes the brake booster has to be removed before the head will come off, pretty easy unbolts from inside the car.

Hey Garth, just had my heads done for my 3.0 conversion. Did not need to replace valves but did replace the guides and stem seals, re seat the valves and skim. Valve guides NZ$100 stem seals part off complete engine set, but are cheap enough from IAP. Machine shop charged me $600 for both heads. Now...

Had my glasses on for the second look , still reckon it is not a bad looking little motor car, and did a double check on the build quality. Impressive.
Would i swop my GTV6 for one.................... NEVER

I take it all back about the MiTo.............. wow!! pictures do not do the car justice.
And the trim and quality looks top notch. What a good looking car . Did not get to drive it, stopped in after servicing my GTV, torn jeans and dirty. Might shave and go back tomorrow........

Oh dear what a pity this missed again............ that is FUGGGLY.
How the F$%# can they get it so wrong.
Going to look at the MiTo this weekend.. not expecting much.
Hey Fernando is your car fixed yet??
Tom

Hey Fernando, whats happening with your car???? and tel Barry not to be so scarce here.
Tom

Classic Kevin....... the Porsche boys(girls) complained............

Hi guys, dont know if anyone here has seen the GTV6 register that is being put together on the AlfaBB. Looks like a nice way to see how many cars are still around and which part of the world they are in.
Cheers
