Rat Alfa

[JimmyJam]

My Alfa GT Junior has had lots of welding recently (naturally!). It needs a respray following this so I started rubbing it down myself. Got a few panels in and realised I should leave it to the professionals! So the body is looking very patchy and mismatched. While I gather funds for a full respray I thought I'd embrace the rat look for a while and run it around over the winter. Dragged out the old roof bars, and stuck on a roundel, voila!
Not for everyone I'm sure but I'm going to enjoy it for a bit...

Does it look a bit cow eyed or is it me/photo angle?

Nearside headlight looks like its pointing skywards?

Like it.

[Joe..]

Looks great... needs more photos!

Very cool. Don't bother painting it - you'll be afraid of using it!

Ha, well spotted, yes the surround keeps popping out of place, hadn't noticed it this time. I'll give it a nudge when I get home!

Do you have any more photos? Looks great.

No chance of that. I've had it 11 years and its always used regularly which is why it deteriorated but I wouldn't change that for a thing. Its driven in all weathers and will continue to be. I'll never own a garage queen.

Excellent. I like that a lot.

Looks great Jimjam, my 2000GTV is looking equally tatty these days. Not sure I'd put a roofrack on though......

This looks way cooler than it will do with fresh paint.

Yes, I come and go with the roofrack. The roofline is so lovely it seems a shame to spoil it but then its unusual to see one with and it gets a great reaction.

That pic would look really good in B&W with the shadows turned up a notch...

[JimmyJam]

Hows that?...

I love it. Don't change a thing on it.

[dudleybloke]

Brilliant, love it.
