81 Alfa is home

[hottvr]

Just picked up an 81 Alfa Spyder. Nice paint and carpet. Picking up seats and injectors tomorrow.
The guy I bought it from is moving to Europe and is unloading his stuff.He has some Austin Healey 3000 fenders, bolt on wire wheels, a Jamacian(car), Benelli (spelling?), 72 Stag(wants $800 and needs work, and other stuff in his shed.Just thought I'd share the info.
See Alpha attachment

Just checked the pic and it doesn't have what appears to be a bunch of divots on the pass. side door.

Seems like Alfa fever is spreading around these days /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Yea, but He's got a matched set!. hehehee
Boy if I was in FL I'd be over there lookin at the Stag. I'd love to have one-o-those.
Very nice Alfa! I like those too.

Is the Jamacian for sale?

 

[hottvr]

I think he wants $1000. It has no engine in it but has has a Merkur engine for it.

Tell me about the Stag....

 

[R6MGS]

Too bad it's in Florida...Someone posted pics of their Jamacian in the MG forum a few months ago, since then I've wanted one.

Nice Alfa.... I had a '88 Spider for a while.

And speaking of Alfas.... Here is one of my favorite (although the color could be better!) https://wholesalecalifornia.com/69_alfa_sil.html

Sweet! Duettos are the nicest of the top-down Alfas IMO. The description of the car says carbs were fitted but the engine photos seem to show the SPICA rig in place.

Rick: Glad you found seats! I found only one and it ain't in very good shape... the car looks stunning, BTW.

Still waiting on pics of the Jamacian. He also has a Banardi(spelling?) I was pleasantly surprised when I received the seats. They are Alfa seats but no headrests. The seat rails are rust free and slide easily and the seat bottom only has a small amount of surface rust.Looks like they've never been sat in. See attachment.
Got her to idle yesterday but may be having a problem with firing sequence and fuel return lines. Repair manuel on the way today.

"Firing sequence"??? You mean the injectors? That would be a new one on me.

 

[kennypinkerton]

Yep... Most fuel injectors go at the same time.

 

[DrEntropy]

Not with SPICA injection... it's TIMED from the crank pulley. But I thought this one was EFI.
