(another) 1300GTJ project thread

[T313]

I was happy to see that there have been a few 105 projects mentioned on here, so i thought i'd include mine.
This isn't my first old alfa by any means, but it is the first in a while.
my car is a '69 SA import in reasonable but not rust free condition, its going to modified, but currently intend to keep the engine - although this might change when i price up mods!
The car is being dismantled bit by bit - the plan is to take it down to the bare shell before getting to grips with the rust. Here's some pics of the very early stages:

I love these cars, they are a bit of a dream car of mine. So beautiful. I know nothing of restoring classics so can't comment on the project, other then to say good luck!

Yep, one of my all time fave cars, love it. My brother had a red 1600 GTJ, it was rotten back in the early eighties, but I fell in love with it.

Great looking project Michael. Whereabouts in Worcestershire are you? I'm near Malvern and am also rebuilding a Step front 1300 GTJ. I bought mine partially dismantled and it would be very useful to have a local contact with knowledge!

That makes 3 of us in Worcestershire with 105 series Alfas ! We should get together and compare notes sometime

Am halfway between Worcester and Droitwich - a catch up sounds a great idea!

Am just off junction 6 of M5 although my cars are scattered at various storage facilities!
