New bumper found
I purchased a used bumper for the car this week. It will need some work, but I found these are really hard to find!

Steering wheel and rims
I've been looking for a new steering wheel and some 15 inch wheels. Unlike the Lotus Elan project, where originality has been the focus, I'd like to customize the Alfa.
There was a Hellebore steering wheel listed on eBay last week. It looked great, but the bidding got ridiculous in the final minutes, so I backed out. I think the best approach is to find a nice Momo wheel and hub at a car show or on Craigslist.
I've noticed a lot of 105 owners opt for Saab 900 steel wheels. They look close to the GTA wheels and have the right bolt pattern and offset. These were popular cars here in the 80s and 90s, so I'll have to scour some of the local wrecking yards for a deal.

Alfa restoration video
I found a good video of an Alfa Romeo GT restoration on YouTube. The damage looks very similar to mine.
