New trunk seal on

Installed the new trunk seal from Alfaholics.


Gas tank repainted

I painted the gas tank with rust-proof primer and paint.



Rust-proofing the trunk and new metal

We scraped / sanded the entire trunk and underside of the car and painted it with POR-15. This will protect the new & old metal for years to come.

Trunk & spare tire area:

Body repairs and paint done

Looks fantastic with windows back in.




Engine out

Thanks to Bob & Barry, the engine is out and delivered to the machine shop. We hope there are no surprises...

Update

The plan is to pull the engine this weekend.

I've also ordered a number of odds and ends from Alfaholics. The most important being a new ignition switch.

Some good holiday reading
