Also cleaned some other parts for the car. Before: http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y517/reijnaje/6b280dadaf3b2f6801a30603d1d2f5ec_zpsf3e298fe.jpg After: http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y517/reijnaje/255f9724706fb5fe468c0345dbec0d91_zpsfcd0a1f1.jpg Steering box (only a "after" pictu...

Unfortunately there was no pedal box when I got the car. I butchered some 33's in the past so hoped I could use one of those pedal boxes. I compared the steering wheel bracket to see if it comes close .... Well it doesn't :( http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y517/reijnaje/182e6b5c25b77aa8f123e2952...

This is about where I am now with the car. Sorry for the many pictures (some are huge and take long to load I think) . Since I have a busy job, nice wife, 3 little kids in the age of 4 , 2 and 1 (yes a nice wife :lol: ) and a house to maintain work is a bit slow on the car so your computers can all ...

Put the fenders back on and started work on the engine bay. First cleaned it a bit: http://imageshack.us/a/img539/7016/zuq0K5.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img661/3484/undmIx.jpg Then some more and sprayed some rust preventing primer on: http://imageshack.us/a/img538/8537/VLlild.jpg http://imageshack.u...

On the right side there now was a nice closed sill. Left side was still OK and since I want to keep the water out I closed the holes which hold the chrome trim in place: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/5738/8swn.jpg http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/7868/ndlo.jpg http://img46.imageshack.us/img46...

Some rust primer: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9459/3t0x.jpg Other side was about the same, after welding and rust primer it looked like this: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/6470/nqe8.jpg http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7415/09di.jpg Then some stonechip coating: http://img62.imageshack.us...

As said it looked all quite good ... does that mean no rust? Of course not, hey it's an old Alfa! http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4989/ealw.jpg http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5894/acpa.jpg http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6113/l78s.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8422/4ovx.jpg http://img...

Some new bits of steel go on: http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/91/hs3v.jpg http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1606/fkds.jpg http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4952/6lyc.jpg http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/6051/ajp9.jpg http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/9150/xf05.jpg http://img89.imageshack.us/img8...

I guess this is about where my friend gave up. A small whole cut in the sill ... it didn't look that good so time to hurry! http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/1822/ybju.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2572/u1rk.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3409/3ph1.jpg Then first rebuild the floor ...

Then it was time to go there 1 last time and collect the car, had great help from my dad and son as you can see ;) http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6/wmbg.jpg http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8144/r074.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9828/02vd.jpg http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/6855/pz04.jpg

Then it was time to put them on the car again!

Don't you just love working with clean parts? ... I do!

The axles where already removed and since I don't want to do things twice, putting the rusted axles back and removing again later was not an option. I decided to bring the stuff to my house (about 1 hour drive from the old shed) and blast them clean. After that I sprayed them with an epoxy primer an...

In total it has now been off the road for 17 years ... While my firend had the car I already did some welding on the car: when I got it it all looked pretty solid: http://i39.tinypic.com/2ij29gw.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2d11x6a.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/156z9qs.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/96kxn4.j...

I started a thread already on "the other" forum (and even longer ago I started one on a Dutch Alfa Forum), so for some the next pictures might come as a deja vu. Once upon a time ... a long long time ago, a friend of mine bought a Sprint which had been sitting in a barn for over 15 years (...
