An Alfasud is reborn...
Discussion
More fool me but after a 7 year restoration, a little Sud I bought for £100 as I felt very sorry for it is approaching the final stages of completion 
Here's a few photo's for those who are interested in the best handling front wheel drive car ever bar none...

There's a multitude of new panels carefully covered with 9 coats of Nero black and 2 coats of lacquer. All flatted down by hand in between coats 
The suspension has been shot blasted, powder coated and rebushed. Koni adjustables and lowered springs.
There's 3 gallons of waxoyl in all the nooks and crannies and there's still more to add!
It's got a 1.7 engine from a late Sprint that's covered only 21k miles. Refreshed with new gaskets and cambelts etc. New rad, water pump too.
New servo, master cylinder, brake lines, braided hoses, discs, pads.
There's a gorgeous Sprint Green Cloverleaf interior to be fitted which should contrast well with black I hope. Brand new steering wheel (genuine Alfa one)
Revolution Alloys, black (same shade as the car) with polished rims all lacquered and shod with new Pirelli tyres (got to have Italian tyres on there!)
New steering rack, track rod ends etc.
There's been a lot of pennies spent on this car and a huge amount of blood sweat and tears have gone into it to. I could have bought a new Ford Ka with the money and probably had a fortnight in Oz for what it's cost me
I do feel a great sense of pride that I've saved a 24 year old Sud and bought it at least another 10 years on the planet though

Looks great!
Thank you!
I'm hoping to get the rest of the bodywork buffed up to the standard of the rear quarters this week and get all the exterior fixtures and fittings in place. Adjust the panel gaps as best we can given they were crap out of the factory and then get it home for the interior to go in etc.
Bleed the brakes and then it's MOT time!
