Overall, motor runs well. Could use additional tuning. Has approx. 800 break in miles. Burns no oil, a few leaks have developed (minor pan leak). Oil pressure checked and bypass works at approx. 80psi, with hot idle around 20 psi.

Trans is fair, with a slight grind on second with a quick shift. Slight howling from the rear(4.56) likely a wheel bearing(replacement comes with). Slave and masters both new.

Suspension bushings need to be done along with tie rods ends that have really gotten worse since its been back on the road. Koni Reds. Burman box rebuilt with new bearing and seals. Nice and tight

All calipers rebuilt/ stainless lines. Old brake master cylinder has poor travel but stops well.

Driveshaft was rebuilt but it looks like the shop only did the center bearing as the u-joints have slop. Have an additional driveshaft with good u-joints and bad center bearing.

Body never been rear ended or major shunt. Stainless bumpers retrofitted. Wrinkle in passenger front fender (have clean replacement to weld in). Original Hawthorne white w/ black interior. Seats original, splitting on drivers. Door panels great for a Berlina. Dash has splits. Center console needs new wood. Rust present in areas that are prone when sitting such as top of windshield (have an entire clean windshield frame), both front floors (rears great), lower rear quarters are pretty bad. Jack points good one rocker starting to bubble. Have a Classic Alfas drivers side floor pan. All carpet removed for floor pan viewing.
