With the oldest GTV6 nearing 40 years in service, a forum to document projects and restoration seems sensible.

I have a new project . It’s a long way from the usual big bore 24vs but a really nice inexpensive Alfetta GTV 4 cylinder that came from a South Africa to the UK . I will start posting up pics

I have a couple project cars, as well as a huge used V6 car parts collection, mostly GTV6, collected over 30 years that I want to sell as one lot. Don't ask for individual parts please..
Also selling a solid driver 82 needing paint and minor interior.

heavymetalalfa, I hope you are making good inroads for your clearance ambitions.
W.W. I see you been snoozing in between jobs. Amazing what one can achieve in during a tea break.
I am quietly soldiering on with my 75.

Nice bit of gear.
That's a very lonely looking fork lift.

You couldn’t be further from the truth, Thor is a much loved and respected member of the workshop, rescued from downtown Sydney and given a new set of contacts and replacement batteries he zips around whilst being chased by my German shepherd, how do you think the Charger and engine stands get on the mezzo? Put on a jib and it’s easy to remove a Busso
