engine nearly done. nice time overall in this conversion of 3.0 164 into rear drive configuration.

I really like the VR gasket set from Centerline. It even came with 2 sets of cig seals!(but was missing a few other items which were right away replaced by Centerline, no issues there!)

I have the G Force Profilers on my Volvo, they're a simply amazing tyre in the dry and ridiculously awesome in the wet. And when you factor in the price, you can clearly see Michelin's input into BF Goodrich's product line.

OK, here is something to talk about...naysayers and disgruntled alfa lovers feel free to chime in and complain about

SOME CHROME!


What a pain to weld and cut. I had to cut the middle out of the bumper as it was too long and the angle too sharp. Now I have to find a nickle plate shop.

the front end suffered a modest hit and I had to reposition the driver side bumper mount 4 cm to the left. Another PITA....

hmm, nah...I think the bumper is too thin, still I prefer it without bumper at all, but I don't think it's road legal over there...if I were to put a chromed bumper it'd be a thicker one...
