Finally found myself a 1968 Step front after a long search!
Deposit placed.
Carbs (remember them) need fettling but other wise it's very tidy and well put together.
2 litre Nord fitted on twin 40s.  _________________ Afraid of dipping a toe- beware Sharks

Gorgeous Chris, I think this is the car I was looking at a few days ago before SWMBO told me that it would cost me an additional divorce !
If I sold the 93 this would be my choice as a replacement .
Have fun  _________________ GT4

i know where there's another equally as good if not better @ £45k (not currently advertised) if anyone wants one, it is however running a 1600cc lump with around 120bhp, i was going to buy that one and build up a bigger spec 2 litre engine as a project then this one came up. _________________ Afraid of dipping a toe- beware Sharks

Absolutely stunning! I have so much love for the 105 Alfa's especially the Step nose and GTAs. I own a '69 1750GTV series 1 however, its been garaged for over 30 years - in need of a full restoration and engine rebuild. My pet project once I have saved enough cash will to get it like this;

that is similar to my inspiration, i was going to build one myself, but the body restoration / costs are a mare. i haven't got the patience for bodywork either. mechanicals are fine, i'm going to tinker with this one, it might end up higher power if needed, but its a great base to work from hopefully.
I've already got a list of jobs as long as your arm to get it how i want it, and correct a few minor niggles. I've missed tinkering tbh, the R8 is fantastic but you cant really do much yourself to improve /alter it.
This was also a big inspiration to remind me to get one sorted lol

Awesome and congrats.
An Alfaholics GTA & WS5001 Longhood 911 are my dream garage pair. Looking forward to your updates and impression of the car.

Chris, the alfaholic build is insane... great video with mr Harris showing the Alfa's potential. Yes.. the dreaded rust is the big killer for these cars and the cost of body work repair is eye watering. I am in the same position, happy to tinker with mechanics but no skills or idea about bodywork.
Look forward to hear/see more of your Alfa project. Would be great to see her in person. Planning any drives out this spring/summer? _________________ Speed Yellow - 996 C4S (EVO Magazine)
