@neuro: Compomotive for the Alfa please.

You took the words right out from under my fingertips (this is the IT age after all :D).

@Neuro - I concur! Plus Compomotive being a motorsport supplier, the wheels should be of very good quality.

great discussion on the wheels for 'Z'...Panasports look very very good. The white 'Z' looks lean and mean

the 2600 sprint is in workshop for body restoration... mainly replacement of the rusted floor panels and sills and a new paint job in the original grey white. A new front fgrill and all the badges and new lenses for the front and rear lights and the badges have been delivered in the UK. hand shipment to Pakistan early next month.

The alfa gtv is the problem. rust is really bad and the denters are playing hard to get....

For once after the bad experience with the Z... it was in denting 2.5 years..... I want to get the panel replacements.... almost all available at Classic alfa in London. But before that I want to drive teh car in its ratty condition.... without a care in the world.. all I am going to have done for thsi month is get the mechanicals fixed... the electrics only so as to start and stop teh car and drive the socks off it.

The wheels .......I need advice 14 by 6 inch , 14 by 7 inch or 15 by 7 inch ... photos being put up.
The lemans blue car has 14 by 6 inch
teh other two have 15 inch... the 15 inchers at least in the twin headlight cars look superb

[Storm]

i think the 14's would suit the car more, but since finding correct size tyres in 14 is becoming very hard in PK it migh tbe better to fit the 15's (have had no luck finding new tyres for my W123 which is rolling on original 14 inch MB light alloy wheels)

[WaleedS]

@neuro - my vote is for 15s since you can run 65 series tires, which given the Harvey Bailey setup, you will need.

@yaser, mohsin, wasif et all;

AHH the barracuda..wat a rape scene....i feel so much pity for the car..yes yasir...different strokes for different foks..but the rubble ofa 69 Boss 429 cannot be natched..even by 426 hemi.......

the owner is a dipshit...i doubt he will budge..n then it would be too late and even the kabaria wont buy it.....

i think it needs consistent group effort of meeting the owner together...n convince him to give the thing up..be4 its gone 4ever.....

im on the lookout for my 1985 toyota celica GTR...its beleived to be in karachi at the moment..if any1 has any news...plz get to me ASAP.
