I modified my abandoned Alfa Romeo 156 GTA for Shedfest 2024

As I get the GTA ready to for @AutoalexCars Shedfest 24 and the fact the show is just 9 days before my birthday, I have decided to treat my Busso powered wagon to a Maxton bodykit, but was this a good idea or not?

    Hillman imp is mine dude thanks for the kind words and glad you liked it! It’s got a bmw k1200rs bike engine, just fitted air ride suspension and goes pretty well 👍

    I love my 916 TS. Bought it cheap, but spent loads on it, including a respray. Plus lots of other things. It’s not worth what I’ve spent, but who cares

  • @donny2327

  • @RiperSnifle
    @RiperSnifle Před 2 měsíci

    Sorry for a silly question but you mention to look under the sill covers and take a look behind the wheel arch liners. Would you really ask a provate seller to take these off and have a look? Would they not tell you to do one?? I only ask as perhaps i wouldnt feel comfortable asking someone to take these off to look, and i wouldnt know how to either! I am after a GTV V6 ...

    • @iamandisykes
      @iamandisykes Před 2 měsíci

      Yeah it’s a big ask and I would understand if the seller wouldn’t be happy doing so. However if you did see any signs of rust that’s visible without removing in those areas id strongly recommend at least suggesting it for your own piece of mind. Lots can hide behind these sections and a good looking car could quickly become a money pit. Also on my car there is a drain from the boot which exits on the drivers side sill. If the sill cover is removed and fitted incorrectly that drain pipe can sometimes be directed to fill your inner sill with water. It happened to mine when a friendly local garage decided to straighten a jacking point on my car (FOC) I only realised after a heavy downpour and a lot of sloshing about 🤣 I would quite like a V6 too and am considering selling my Twinspark at the mo.

  • @donaldtucker4914
    @donaldtucker4914 Před 3 měsíci

    Already have a v6 but have been tempted by a low mileage T spark with low miles which I collect shortly. Agree completely with your comments about the Fiat Coupe, which I also like and which can be cheap. The prices on the gtv seem to be climbing and only the best Fiat Coupes are getting expensive, but on looks alone it seems the Alfa is still too cheap.

It's a car that has never given me problems, it has seen my mechanic 4/5 times in 24 years, only for oil and filter changes, a super reliable car as well as being one of the most BEAUTIFUL cars ever built by the old and legendary Alfa.

  • @kasimirdenhertog3516
    @kasimirdenhertog3516 Před 4 měsíci

    Kit looks good, though I'm not quite sure the car needs it - it looks meaner with it, but sleeker without. The spacers and a bit of lowering is definitely a must. The jacking point covers, I thought the problem was they are made from unobtainium. So if you lose one, you'll never find another.

    • @iamandisykes
      @iamandisykes Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah I was torn to start with and agree it's a good looking car with or without. Jacking point covers are super rare now, although I've been told 3D printed replacements are available now👍

      The good thing is that this will be totally reversible and any holes for the kit will be under the car and easy to fill and paint if I change my mind. Also while a very good example of a GTA it's not perfect so I don't mind playing around like this with it😊

    Your car so do what you like, just don't do anything that cant be reversed. Keep all the OEM bits, which are now really hard to find or replace. And make sure you don't damage them when you attach the new kit or if you have to remove anything.

    • @iamandisykes
      @iamandisykes Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks mate, actually nothing needs removing and this kit will actually help keep things like the jacking point covers in place (they’re really expensive now)🙌

      @johnphaceas7434 Před 5 měsíci

      @iamandisykes indeed they are. Recently bought a set of the covers from a guy in Czech Rep who 3D prints them. Parts were cheap but postage to Australia cost well over $100. And as it turns out, I didn't need em. Thought mine had been pinched, but they had actually just not been refitted when I was having some work done in the workshop. At least I have spares now!

    Bx's tend to settle down rear end first but will eventually sit flat. The big bore exhaust on the black one sounds absolutely awful, and will be coming off directly. It's just on it because the genuine back box was quite quite pickled and I wanted to save it so I can have a stainless copy made
