Sitting here organizing pics of the car I've been working on for the last 4 months. Thought some of you might like it. Neat little car.
1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale 1 of about 1500 made. I have lost a couple of pics but you can kinda see what the engine compartment looked like when we got it. I have stripped the engine bay, ALL suspension, the WHOLE underside, patched some previous half ass repairs and repainted all of it. I am pretty much done with it so now it goes back up from for the engine to be re-built then we put a wiring harness in it, then I get it back one more time to put in the new carpet and interior. Owner is going to drive it over the summer and bring it back next fall to strip and re-paint. Originally it was white, then red, then this purple twice. It will be going back this purple. Not at all original but I think of the 3 I have seen this color fits the car the best

They are gorgeous cars... (I can't imagine that purple paint is the original color though. Is it?)
Skip
Damn I'm realizing now I lost more pics than I thought. We have some at work hopefully we both took some of the same pics I also lost several pics of my motorcycle

This wil give you an idea of what the underside looked like. I can't find my pics of the whole underside before and after stripping. FUCH !!

Sweeeeeeeet
More pics!!!
Morte and more pics turning up missing. I had a MAJOR f-up trying to delete a few pics last week and looks like I lost a LOPT of the ones I didn't want deleted. Are the still on the pooter somewhere? I right clicked, held shift and noticed a bunch of stuff apparently got highlighted that I didn't want highlighted.

No Skip it was originaly White. The purple was a custom mix this guy had made to his desires
Eric, trust me I wish I had more pics. I really need to be a bit more computer savvy
That's a beautiful car. Does the last picture show where you are now? Can you tell us about the engine? Thanks for the post.
I am always really impressed wih the talent of the 914 community in this BBS. You are all an inspiration. I say this as I shake with fear of f_cking up a clutch job on my 914. Then I look at the stuff you guys are doing - WOW!!!
Yeah Eric the last pic was today. I put the wheels back on and it is now ready to go back to have the engine and wiring harness done. Engine is a 1600 c.c. just like the "typical" Alfas of that period had. Somewhere around 110-120 H.P I've been working on these things for about 3 years now and still don't know the ins and outs of them
Is there any way I can pull up ALL Jpegs on the computer no matter where they have gone? Or by holding the shift key have I completely gotten rid of them ? WHy did I do that you ask.....because it keeps it from filling up my recycle bin........ will I continue to hold the shift key when deleting you ask......NO !
First, move all of the files in your recycle bin to a folder you name as "C:\tempdel"
Then, go to "My Computer" and right click on the "Local Disk C:". Select "Search". In the area titled "All or part of file Name" type in "*.jpg". Then click on the "Search" button.
Any files that end in "jpg" sill appear in your search results.
If you have any questions, PM me with a number. I'll be glad to call you to walk you through this process. I've got a lot of cell minutes I never seem to use...
They can all be recovered as long as you haven't emptied you recycle bin. Go with what Eric said and you should be fine.
did the owner ask you to slide 8 into her? V8 that is : )
That's a sweet ride.
Here's a pic of one that I found for sale a few years ago. Absolutely gorgeous car.
Scotty It looks like a GTV up against the wall. I love those little cars. Almost bought one many many years ago.
I've recovered many deleted files after the recycle bin has been emptied. I'm set up to do so w/my computer. If the traveling distance weren't so far, I'd offer to come over and give you a hand.
Oh, that car looks sweet, too! BTW.
Wonderful! Gorgeous car I hope you are enjoying the work on her.
