GTV6 Fusebox

Hi again.

The mounting point for the fusebox where it attaches to the hood pull was broken by the restorers. Anyone know of OEM or aftermarket available.

Really stuck.

GTV6 Sunroof...

...did it have type of stripping around it. I am completing a resotration and can't remember if there was a finishing stripping around the sunroof itself. I am not refering to the rubber stripping which is installed around the interipr edge, that is back in. It just seems that when the sunroof is cl...

Thanks guys.

I'll be passing all this along to my mechanic. He thinks somene tossed a nut or bolt into my motor and has ordered an angled magnet to se if he can pull it out. Personally I remain skeptical as I can't imagine whom I angered as I paid them all very well and am...well...a decent enough sort. But will...

Never been started

Thank you for the feed back. I know the engine was never started once they put it back in. The body shop had no experince with the GTV-6 motor, so when they installed it again the left all, and I do mean all, the wiring undone. The car was then taken to a Alfa specialist who is trying to deduce the ...

Thanks, but...

...we've put a new belt on and adjusted it spot on. It almost feels like there is a nut or something jammed in a valve, but it does not seem likely as the engine ran perfect before they pulled it. Could incorrect re connection of the transmission arm to the motor affect this?

Thank you.

V6 Motor won't budge

Hi guys. So, I have had my engine pulled during a respary and then the paint house placed it back in and reattached all the bits and bobs and gues what. It won't turn over. I removed the valve covers and two of them are not winding up and down, they are just stuck. And the fly wheel will rotate abou...

Seats

Thanks guys. The seats are not pull over replacement leathers. I simply had Prestige Interiors use the old seat leather as a template to make the new ones and then pipe the trim using left over suede from what was used on the dash and headliner. I am not certain of the replacement steering wheel siz...

Reskinned seats installed

Hi all. Whilst the Callaway motor is being rebuilt by Historic Race Engineering, the interior got the front and rear seats recovered. There was nothing wrong with the orignals, however with the new interior the cockpit looked unfinished so went ahead and pulled the front and back seats and recovered...

Your car got my hooked!

If yours was the GTV6 in Practical Classics then it was your very car that motivated me to buy my GTV6 in December. I adored them in the 80's ever since I saw a hot little brunette driving one round campus whilst I was at university. When I read about the silver one in Practical Classics it got my e...

Callaway Wing painted and mounted

Small update. The fellows have painted and colour sanded the wing and it was mounted this morning. A couple of images.

Anyone know anyone parting out a GTV6?

I am stuck. I need a set of rubber interior trim bits that tie together the headliner to the rear windows and a set of fasteners for the pad under the bonnet.

Does anyone happen to know if someone about it parting out a GTV6?

Best Wishes

Hood scoop and wing.

If my glass fellow can get five orders for scoops and wings he'll take a mold and produce them. He explained to me it would not be cost effective unless he had five orders in advance for each.

If we can get to that point it seems like he'd be glad for the buisness.

Best Wishes
