A Viewer Gave Me His Broken Alfa Romeo 146 For FREE! Rebuilding Story Part-One
The offer has been a prolonged conversation due to lockdown, mco, cmco etc. Finally we get to meet and exchanged our desires. He took a very good care of it until driving manual gearing is no longer a thing for him.
This is the first part of journey-sharing on the rebuilding progress. As I am writing this, I still don't know what future holds for this car. We shall see and hope for the best :)
Some details
- Engine capacity : 1,721cc / DOHC 16V
- Fuel type : Petrol
- 5 speed Manual
- Color - Alfa Dark Green
- 129HP (during prime days)
- Mileage : 360,000kms

From a sleeping lion (covered with bird poop!) to almost fully awake. Share your comments and thoughts!
Nice.....especially the exhaust note.
@Matt.W - agreed. Alfa's exhaust sound never fail to impress.
KL is a paradise for rare cars needing restorations.
@Izzat Fauzi Mustafa - any car you manage to buy and probably pursue any restoration dream?
Nice video bruh! where or who did you go for Alfa mechanics in KL?
Thanks @andreo, I had a very mechanic based in Old Klang Road. Now he has left to open an Alfa/Italian workshop in Kota Bharu. I continue to go to another shop in Old Klang Rd. I can share the contact if you are interested.

Bos , habis berapa ? Ade sebijik yang arwah ayah punya , ingat nak restore tapi takot harga jahat sangat 😂 engine full restore bajet berapa ?
@Raja Wafi Mustaqim Raja Muzaffar - so far baru dalam 3k. Syukur engine tak perlu nak overhaul, but just change belting and full service. Next is to work on A/C and probably some body work. Probably kena spare dalam 3k macam tu Lokasi kat mana?

Did you ever finish it?
@The Barron T - not yet, got distracted with other small projects. Always in the to do list so far :)
@@drivegertodrive6298 It'll be nice to see it finished, they're very rare cars now, I've got a 1998 1.8 T Spark, looks standard but revs to about 8,000rpm so someone has something with it lol.
