very exciting best of luck. Something this rare and unique will make for lots of fun and no doubt some frustration too. I'm hoping we can all track your progress and share in the experience. And of course the prerequisite dead rodent to boot. Perfect!

I posted some pictures over on "Ferrarichat" in the Maserati subforum. I received some great advice that is making me consider preserving the car, rather than restoring it. My first order of business will be getting the transmission fixed and trying to get it driveable (brakes, suspension, etc.).
Ferrari Chat's a great site, lot's of knowledge there with the vintage car guys, or at least someone to share your pain.

Steven, I hope your Alfa restoration is going well (or finished, better yet). The Alfa I sold went to the Netherlands...it was painful to see it go.
Billh, that would have been a pretty good investment.
Flat-6, thanks. Hopefully it will be more fun and less frustration.
Salayc, I would buy a lift in a heartbeat if my garage had higher ceilings. Jackstands are going to be a pain.
Chris, thanks.
Chao, happy new year to you also. I hope the rodents stay clear of both of us.

Hey Mark,
That looks like a great project. Is this your first Italian? I'd love to do an early 60's Alfa Guilia Spider some day....
BTW - I just finished my v-ram conversion project (I did a write-up on the 993 forum). It was fun, but like you I have a sickness and need to start another soon!
Hope your family is well.

Hi Joe, You car looks great...even better then when I last saw it. I will have to read about your v-ram conversion. I have owned several Alfas in the past. They are neat cars. The Maserati is going to be fun. I hope you and your family are well. Let me know if I can help you find a salvage project.
Chris, that lift would be great. I would love to get one eventually. I enjoy looking at the dream garages. Good luck on your garage project.
