Nice long term project!!

[alfa155chris]

No i got it 22rd june and the engine on the 24th june. So it will be a another project

[Steve Webb]

Where are all these white 155s popping up from?

Oh and was it A-framed home?

[alfa155chris]

This car has been owned by a few 155org members. Yep aframed from norfolk to leicester. Then fixed it and I'm loving it.
I saw it was for sale and had to have it. This is my first skinny and first v6 I've owned

[alfa155chris]

When on the 20th bash that wrinx set up. On the way up on the Friday someone drove into the front bumper and broke it. Sorry now need to get repaired

[Steve Webb]

Wasn't another 155 that did the damage was it?

Hope it didn't ruin the event for you.

[alfa155chris]

No just some twat.

[alfa155chris]

Had to sort some jobs on the v6 Thursday and early on the Friday morning. Had a snapped spring on the o/s/r, the tyre was also low on that side, o/s/f shock was leaking, the leak exhaust downpipe, the noise aircon pump bearing and idler.

I had a set of pi springs with koni shocks. The White widey lent it's boot, front and rear bumper. The tsw 17" 5 spoke alloys have been fitted and the hid's that have been sitting in my tool box.

It has play in the o/s/r trailing arm bearings so will be doing a overhauled rear subframe with 22mm eibach anti roll bar, poly bushes and new bearings. New front windscreen and then mot in oct

[alfa155chris]

Got a fecked offside inner drive shaft joint and split cv boot and offside rear trailing arm bearings need to be done on monday. Got a new windscreen being fitted on tuesday and mot booked for wednesday at 2pm

[Steve Webb]

I've come to the conclusion you are some sort of budget Chris Evans, only ever buying white Alfas.

Are you planning on getting them all on the road at the same time?

[alfa155chris]

I would love to have them all sorted and on the road the plan is to have my v6, White widey, 20vt and the misses 155 selespeed on the road each summer. The prugna will be used all year round but need to get handy with the mig after the White widey is finished

[alfa155chris]

New windscreen fitted but mot next week now as one of your customers needed a mot done quicky so the v6 can wait for mot

[alfa155chris]

Failed it's mot on offside handbrake low effort so going to fit the spare coupe 20vt alloy calipers with new cables.
Have made my loom for the electric front leather seats so I'm now ready to replace the grey interior trim bits with the black items

[Steve Webb]

Its always a minor thing that jumps up and bites you in the arse at MOT time.

[vantastic]

White ??? I like the look

[alfa155chris]

It's off the road for the winter and I'm missing not driving it already within 2 weeks

[alfa155chris]

Going to sort some bits out on this very soon

[alfa155chris]

Just fixed the boot release so now works from glovebox
