Des,

I agree that it does have a quite nice patina. But i don't think that i'll be able to keep it as is, because of all the aluminium thats reacted and turned into a white powdery substance.

I was thinking that i should strip the car, remove it from the chassis, and then have the body soda blasted, and the chassis shotblasted.

This should allow me to see what corrosion there is on the chassis and steel parts on the body and come up with a plan to have repaired.

The alfa sounds nice. What about BMW's to keep lets say a genetic link to the design, distant cousins let say, but cousins non the less.

If i ever get to start and finish this project, i think that its a car i would like to use on a regular basis, in the sun and in the rain.

Cheers
Hal
