Traded my 81 Alfa today for a 72 B and a boatload of parts. He had dreams of making it fast and look like a 60's B. It was stored for many years indoors and he stored it in a carport up on jackstands. The car starts right up and has no rust on the rockers doglegs or doors. There is rustthru on the hood and a little rust on the left wing. It needs a new carpet kit and seat covers. Floorboards look great!

Nice trade!
 
If I put my spare sparts on the bed spread like that I would on the quick path to a divorce!

Have fun.
 
That looks like a good score. More pics of the body but put on a different bedspread when you take those.:smile:
 
Shucks those parts look like they should, clean. Never get my hands dirty working on Miss Agatha anymore. Have an unused gal size gojo. Just no longer needed.
 
Rick! You've TWO Weber intakes there from the looks of things. Are they both for 45's or is one a 40mm?
 
Looks like a 45 DCOE. Are 2 needed? What can you tell me about the chrome intake (check the attachment). It says Cannon 801 on it. Also, this tab in the palm of my hand was in the bottom of the Tupperware. Any idea where it goes?
Rick
PS Pics still to come of car.
