Not sure if electric cars belong here, but it is a beautiful day so washed and waxed the turd. 240mpg over 50k miles.

IIRC a 6.5 turbodiesel will bolt to the same bellhousing and motor mounts so you know what must be done.

Getting in late showing my front end. The lighting and grey paint does a great job masking how filthy it's gotten having to shortcut on country roads in bad weather.

 Over 2500 miles down in less than a month of ownership, steady 36 mpg (uk), loving it despite not getting the front end rattles sorted.

I'm too lazy to take a new picture, but here's my front end from last summer. Hasn't changed, except for a new Ontario license plate semi-compentently bolted to that mess of iron I call the "wildlife tenderizer". SD 144 Topper and Ferry 4 by Martin Brummell, on Flickr

I apologize for the garbage quality of my frontage. I don't have any other front shots and Facebook had the only copy of this one.   I promise I'll post better frontage tomorrow. Edit: Found a  one from the original dealer listing.

You know this must be done. the frictions should hold up to the blistering power of a NA 6.2 Olds on the road, Nova rebuilt and back on the road Camaro goes on the back pad for this project. This is probably going to be Spring 2017 before I can get rolling on it, but it is something I do want to do.Will need a budget and a ton of learning about exactly how diesels work and all that as Ive not owned one yet. This also hinges on the tired 305 in the Camaro lasting that long.

I also love Alfa's excellence in the lost art of making engines look beautiful. Thanks! Spring and track day season is coming. On sunday I should pick up a close ratio gear box with LSD and a cambered dedion for it. I've got rose jointed/needle bearing Watt-link kit and a SZ-like spherical front bearing waiting to be installed with them. I'm considering an adjustable mount for the Watt link to allow adjustment of the rear roll center. I've also got adjustable tubular upper front suspension arms with 30 mm raised ball joints on the shelf. They would raise the front roll center, decrease its motion when the suspension compresses and increase camber gain at the front. It already has the RSR Nurburg (Intrax) suspension kit with coil-overs and 30 mm sway bar at front. A couple of engine bay pictures:   Edit: Note the zip tie mounted power steering fluid reservoir in the above images. It puked its contents out at the track. I've made a bit more proper mount since then. I also had to install a cooler for the power steering fluid to avoid boiling it at the track.
