	Unfortunately the blaster is taking his time...🙁 Since my mate took a last minute trip to Gatebil I had some time to work on my Giulietta. Dismantled some rotten doors today to get parts for my doors. Also took out the dashboard and a whole lot of wiring from the car. Friday evening and Saturday i'll be putting some more hours in it. Taking out all the stuff i don't need and cleaning the inside. Some pics..

	Cleaned some parts and trialfitted the front hub with disk and wheel. 7Jx17 wheel with a 215-40-17 tyre looks like it will fit. Might need to go to a 205-40-17. Rear wheel is 8Jx17 with 235-40-17. Unfortunately I can't testfit those as the hubs are still 4 stud and the wheel is 5.

	Front suspension is getting ready to be switched.. Roller bearings instead of rubber bushings in the lower arms. Flipped balljoint to correct rollcentre.

	It's been a bit quiet here. My mate has to move from one building to another and that's taking a lot of work.. he has a lot of cars, engines and parts. But the last few days he was away and I could use a lift uninterrupted. I took that opportunity to fit the all painted rear axle to the car and pressed some new wheel bearings in. Also mounted the modified front suspension and the 17" wheels. These wheels are 7+8Jx17 but the tyres are a bit too wide at 215-40-17 and 235-40-17. I will probably buy some 195-45-17 tyres for the front and put the 215-40-17 in the rear. And paint the centre of the wheels black. Like the stance it has now. Just stuck the torsionbars in to see how it would look.

	The more photos I see of your car, the more I realise what a cohesive design the Giulietta is compared to my 75. Good looking things! The wheels suit it too.

The wheels suit it too. What i dislike the most with the 75 is the rear quarter seen from the side. It kinks all bodylines upwards a bit after the rear door and that just looks strange in my eyes. Giulietta looks way better from the side. But to be fair, the 75 has a better rear end..😅

	Agreed on all fronts. It's telling that when you google 'Alfa 75' 99% of the photos that come up are from the front 3/4 view where the weird rear kink is hidden by perspective. And yes, the rear end is not the Giulietta's best angle!

	Friends of mine found and bought an old Alfa from a barn in France. It turned out to be a Giulietta. Must have been standing for 20+ years, there was a 2001 newspaper laying in the car. As it's not really their cup of tea they made me an offer i couldn't refuse😅. So now i own another Giulietta 😊 Will take some pictures soon. For now some pictures how it was found..

	Put a battery in and most stuff seems to work. Engine turns over on the starter, will see if it fires on brake cleaner. It definitely needs tires and brakes, those are old and stuck. Rear wheel arches need a bit of welding but that seems about it, which is really impressive as these tend to rot very hard.

	Man I wish my mates would pull old Alfas out of barns Crazy how many more alfas there are knocking about the continent than in the UK. It's not as if they didn't sell them here, the UK was one of Alfa's biggest markets, they just all seem to have disintegrated in the Atlantic weather. Either that or been scrapped even when they're saveable as they've always heavily depreciated.

	Anti- clockwise rev counter- so the important bit is visible! Love it.
