Q4 wanted.

[Steve Webb]

Does anyone know of a Q4 for sale in Europe, doesn't matter if its a runner or not. I'm looking for a second car to use as a parts donor.

Cheers

You wont be popular :eek: :eek: but needs must if its one of those more difficult parts.

Alfapete on 155.org is selling but at ?2K and a potential buyer probably out of reach already...

[Steve Webb]

My current problems have focused things really. Poking around underneath has unearthed a few area that will cause probs in the near future, especially if parts aren't available.

And 2K is probably abit steep. I'm hoping to pick up a car with broken engine so I can strip the parts then go about building a hot engine to keep in reserve for when this one gets tired/goes pop.

There must be some broken Q4s lurking in Europe.

Here's one. The ad says it is a full runner, and the price could be reduced if the wheels would be replaced with OEM ones.

It is in Lithuania. I could help with the language if they do not speak english.

Thanks for that link. That car is actually in the register - here (http://www.berlinasportivo.com/marquespec/Alfa/Q4register/vytas.php) and is a little expensive. Its also too good to break for parts. I'm really looking for one thats had a broken cam-belt (should be common huh!!) and is abit cheaper, anything under ?2000 really.

I asked this guy for the price for the entire car.....2800 euros.

The engine is tuned(big lancia delta turbo,racing cams....) but it's busted.

[wrinx]

Ouch, that's quite a lot :(

Cheers guys, I saw the one in Italy, seems a lot of money for a car gone bang.
And there is someone in Germany with parts from a stripped car, unfortunately he can't/won't ship the part I need because of weight.

check alfapower.nu, swedish site, there was a broken one some months ago. The engine was out, but would follow the car. The belt was not busted, only some oil leaks i think.

think he wanted around ?1000

I wan't the gearbox, and the rear diff;D and the rear panels if not rusted;D

With shipping these things can end up a lot more.

In the UK, broken engine Q4s have sold in the last few years between ?400 and ?850 :cry:

[Stuntz]

shipping of a whole drivetrain to england is 200 eu about 300-400 kg of metal

[Steve Webb]

My change of plan from just buying the parts I need now, to trying to find a complete car is down to the fact that I know my car is pretty damn bad when it comes to rust underneath, buying a second car for parts is going to be cheaper and easier in the long term when it comes to keeping my car on the road.
If I buy just the subframe, then just the radiator support, then just .... I'm going to end up spending far more money than if I'd hunted out a spare car.

well look after looking at my own car and my friends q4 i decide to fix the rust but only so i can drive for some time if i wanted to get ride of it completly then get a garage strip it and start a complete restoration! Buying a rusty donor car wont fix the problems i have done it and its a baaad idea!

[Steve Webb]

To give you an idea of the state of the non galvanized parts of my car, every mechanic who has ever looked at my car has asked if I used to live by the sea.
Any Q4 that I can pick up, especially if it is from France/south of the UK will be an improvement.

[wrinx]

Or, as your bodywork is so bad, buy another (better) car and swap the trick bits over...leaving you current car as the donor?

wrinx

[K.Kotkas]

darn, that Lithuanian car got me sizzling. I sort of need one more.. and it has a recaro interior... and its cheaper than the one that i bought not running.. thou my gen1 is in mint condition when it comes to the body

[Q4pete]

I think buying a car for a subframe and radiator support panel is a bit excessive!! I can weld/fabricate pretty much anything! In any gauge steel! Drop me a line steve and perhaps I could do you a deal!! ;-)
