This Alfa 155 has been my baby since 2012 when I got it the engine was seized. Fitted another engine in the first week of having it when used it for 18 months before taking off the road to replace nearside rear quarter, weld floor, boot corners, clutch, suspension refurb, since then I’ve collected Uprated white line anti roll bars, 6 speed gearbox and other parts.
Since taking it off the road in November 2013 I’ve only done 4 days work on it but 2019 is going to be its year to be sorted and back on the road by the summer as going to Italy with the misses to be in April and the kids

Love this! Always had a thing for these since the BTCC days. Famous Italian steel not doing too well in places?!

Wow i still don't think of these as being that old and the rust looks pretty extensive, but alas it is just me being old again as it close to 25yo since the heyday of BTCC!

Just booked a week off work for next week so hoping to get welding done on drivers side floor and finish rear inner wing finished.
Then fit new front metal brake pipes, timing belt, water pump, new clutch, flywheel and 6 speed gearbox from a Alfa 156 if all goes to plan

Feckin car hasnt fixed itself...... Glad to see its still in good hands. I took it off the road in Oct 13 to do welding and refurb suspension but only spent 5 days working on it over 6 years 😂 😂 This year is the year it’s getting sorted clutch, timing belt, full service, brakes, suspension refurb, welding, paint and interior. Got most of the parts to do it just a few bits to get |
