Before Pictures of prep for repair of 76 Alfa Romeo.

This car has had the same owner for 25 years. It has spent the last twelve hiding in his garage.

Starting to disassemble and clean before replacing the water pump and front crank seal.

A good look at the grungy build up of previous years of operation.

Keep an eye on this. I will be posting pictures as repairs progress.

A peek under the hood of customized Fiat 124 Spider.

Here's a 79 fiat 124 Spider custom cylinder head modifications and twin carb conversion.

These next two are custom modified cam pulleys and timing belt cover.

These next two are fitting and prepping for tuning the carburetors. These really make the car come alive.

New carburation conversion from two barrel progressive type carburator, to a larger two barrel synchronous type carburator.

This conversion has been done on a 1975 Lancia Beta Coupe, with an 1800cc engine. This type of carburator is a Weber DCNF. This type of carburator would normally be found on either a Lamborghini Uracco or a Ferrari 308.

1975 Lancia Beta Coupe

Vehicle before service with wheels removed. Vehicle required brake servicing. All cooling system hoses required replacement. Carburation system being converted to a completely different type than original. This vehicle will be receiving a carburation conversion from stock to a larger performance carburator.

Brake discs were crossed drilled for cooling ventilation. Pattern of drilling is different left to right.

Cam covers being prepped with fresh paint and draw filing. High temp caliper paint is best for this purpose. Draw filing is shown by bright highlights on upper cam cover in this photo.

Intake manifold and carburator for conversion before installation.
(More photos of before, during and after modifications to manifold to come.)
