I never thought that a person could own too many cars, but I find myself bouncing between projects too much. I have decided to put my GTD up for offers. My car was built in UK in 1990, to the best of my knowledge as a combination street/ track car. (those in UK may comment on this) it was...

Hi All- I am putting new side windows my GTD. When I bought my car it had some funky insets in the doors which I am replacing with original style windows with the vent flaps in them. I don't have the benefit of having an original window as a guide. I have been looking at some of the pics on the...

Hi All- I finally got my car back (in pieces) from the paint shop. Seems that they managed to loose one of the door hinges- left side upper. It is probably a stretch, but are there any of these hinges still in existence? Looks like I may be in fabrication mode. I will try to get a picture up...

I had to replace my distributor (MSD). When I installed the new one I tried to get it as close as possible to the previous setting, but I know that I need to set the timing..... Looks like I will have to pull out the seats to access the panel behind them to get to the timing marks on the...

OK. Gonna try this again. The Alfa Club event was canceled due to lack of interest. The Bremerton Club is having a lapping day at the Bremerton track 6/10/11. The Bremerton guys usually put a chicane in the srtaightaway, so longest leg of track is about 3/4ths of a mile. There will at least...

The NW Alfa Club is going to have a track day at Bremerton on May 27th. If anyone is interested the Alfa site is: Northwest Alfa Romeo Club :: Track Events I am signed up for the event and hope to have my GTD out on track. There are usually only a few Alfas that show up, most of the cars...

Hi All- I am shopping for a combination track/street tire (mostly track). (17" wheels). I am looking at the Nitto 01 or 05 tires, Falken Azenis, Toyo R1, 888 or similar. Anyone have experience with good predictable tire for use on this car? Thanks, Paul

Hello Tony, or anyone in contact with Tony: I purchased GTD 20390, which I understand was built by Tony. I have a list of questions about this car which, if answered, would be very helpful in getting the car back out on the track..... Any help appreciated. Paul

Hello to all- I am looking at replacing the wheels on my GTD- going to Vintage K.O.s. I have a choice of offsets. The front wheels currently on the car have an slight negative offset, about -1/8th of an inch (4 7/8 inch backspace). The new wheels would be about .725 negative (4.025...

Hi All- I am considering the purchase of a set of 17" BRM style Vintage Wheels for my GTD. I would be using their K.O. adapters, spinners, etc. It looks like I may need to machine them to increase the backspacing to achieve the same offset as the wheels currently on the car. They are great...

Help, please. I have a GTD that has a sticking throttle cable. It appears that the cable has melted where it runs out through the exhaust piping and the action has become very stiff. I am looking for a replacement cable. The existing cable has an ID tag. Info on tag: European Marine Works...

Hi All- need help. I purchased a GTD car that has some "unique" door windows- light weight plastic, that snap into the inside of the window opening (& do not keep rain out of the cockpit). Would like to install original style windows that I see on most replicas, however I notice that there are...

Hi All- does anyone know where to find original type tail lights? I have a GTD that now has late model Beetle (!!) tail lights. The tail light area has recesses for single left/right units. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Hi All, just aquired a GTD car. I have a couple cars insured under the Barrett-Jackson endorsed insurance program (Chartis). The quotes are VERY reasonable compared to Haggerty. I have seen on other car sites that say that they have very good rates on other makes. I have never had a claim...
