Hi all, thanks for recent help with my B. After years of neglect, on street parking, lack of use and maintenance.... have decided to bring my B back to its former glory. Have spent the last few evenings cleaning and waxing as well as treating the hood to a good clean and Nikwax treatment. Pulled out my knackered electric aerial and replaced with a springy one.
So now I've got on with the less important but much easier cosmetic makeover I have a list of jobs to do in no particular order:
1. Remove old sump and replace with Alfa 156 1.8 sump (ebay) then service engine
2. Change all disks and pads which are knackered
3. Replace broken manifold cover, preferably with something made of more than coke cans
4. Upgrade stereo system/speakers
5. Work out what the banging from the rear passenger side wheel is and fix
6. Try to sort out my badly fitting windows and fit some sound deadening in the doors while I am at it.
Wasnt sure where to put this post but if it is ok with the moderators I would like to use this thread to ask all of my technical questions for all of the above jobs as and when I get round to them? Hope that is ok.
Anyhow first question: what modifications need to be made to an alfa156 sump to make it work with the B's engine?
