At Sundays Spring Alfa DayI saw a guy with a few photos of an AlfaSud Giardinetta (A Sud Estate). this is what one looks like, not the actual one.    It needs a full resto, though its driveable & a runner, obviously no MOT. Though he wouldnt say how much he wanted for it, he did say a guy insulted him with an offer of £200. Problem I have is something like this will need a lot of welding, & I'm no welder. But this is such a rarity & an Ultra rare RHD version as well. Just to by it & then transport it to my barn is going to I reacon the best part of £600, which I don't really have. But man is this car begging to have the retro treatment........I'm thinking 1700 16v transplant, with 33 unprights & outboard brakes, but keep it looking sleeper like. I need to be a bit practical about this, but cant get the car out of my head. |

It might be fun, but I havnt done it since college, & I don't like to have to rely on mates to help out - jobs of that size are a bit much to ask mates to do (IMO).........actually I only know maybe 4 people who can weld competantly.

Hmmmm, if £200 was an 'insult' what sort of price is he thinking? It doesn't really matter how rare it is if there's no demand.... IMHO |
| |
... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

If you cant do the work yourself then can you trust your mates to do it?
I would leave it but its up to you.
