Heres my recent aquisition; 1971 Alfa GT 1300 Junior 3 previous owners, ex Narobi car - solid & rust free, 42,000 miles on the clock. Just got it re-registered to a correct J plate, so tax free & black & silver plates. Already fitted a new fuel tank, new rubber seals, re-furbed the calipers & new brakelines. Got a Harvey Baily handling & lowering kit to fit to it. koni red & yellow shocks, thicker ARB. Also got a set of saab 5.5" x 15" steels from the powdercoaters, which look factory, but a bit bigger & wider. Saved hard for this & sold my spider to get it. puts a giant grin on my face everytime.

yep its been a while..........due to a little one arriving & job change. not too sure what to do with the car yet, but as its not a really valuable GTV or step front or 1750, I don't mind making non-origenal changes. why keep the old wheels ? I'm struggling a bit for storage space & was considering getting rid of them. these are the wheels I picked up today; and fitted a Nardi wheel last night (ebay Japan !!!)

The Steelies are now on.......so screw the old farts.........., but it has highlighted the need to get the lowering kit on ASAP, which I wasnt going to do untill the winter....... As I wanted to get all the suspension components off & shotblast & powdercoat them.

Why keep the old wheels? Because you then always could return to original spec. Although I must admit the 15" will look ace on them, but think how hard it would be to find an original spec Junior. Everybody seems to lower it, put big wheels on it and fit a lairy exhaust. But that's just my thought. (probably because I'm very jealous

ettore, I'm with you to a degree, you don't see many origenal juniors. which is why it will stay with the single headlights & no serpent badges etc...
But, the mods I want are to be subtle. which is why the wheels I choose are meant to "look" factory, the lowering.............well it just needs it, at the moment the handling & steering is a bit "boat-like". The exhaust etc... well that stays standard, because its a lovely noise, without being too "look at me".
with this junior subtly is the name of the game.
