Re: [alfa] Autodelta Alfasud

["Dean" <tessiedog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds interesting, look into it but do not get to excited just yet. One
would assume if it were an autodelta prepared sud you would not have bought
it for $200. It may have a few autodelta pieces on it, however if you have
ever seen an autodelta prepared car you fully understand the term race
modified. The only thing I can suggest is that a past owner bought some
parts when they used to be avaliable. Still a nice buy and if the bodies
good even better.
Keep us informed. We may see it when the Alfa club comes to winton on its
annual pilgrimage
Cheers
Dean.
