Gbinsb introduction - GTV V6 TB

[gbinsb 22]

Hi,

My name is Gerben, and I'm looking around this forum for some time now. I tough it is good to introduce myself. I'm living in the Netherlands and enjoying Alfa cars as a hobby. I like to drive them, but maybe more to work on them I share my hobby with my brother who also have a passion for Italian cars.

Over the years we have had some cars, but I like to stick to them when I favor them.

It started with a 33 1.7 16V QV about ten years ago.

really loved it, and had to work on it many times

We have had a second 33 16V, because nothing lasts.

In 2009 we bought the 916 TB I was very happy with it, and started to think what to improve.

One year later we bought a 145 QV to succeed the 33, because we needed a daily driver.

Just before we got rid of the 33.

We made the car like new, renewed many parts and when it drove the best we must sell it..

We have bought a 147 GTA

This was also a extremely fun car to have. And we still enjoy it! We have modified and renewed many things.

The last car we bought is a Sprint 1,5 QV, but is is a special one. It has a engine swap with a 1.7 16V

It still needs a bit work, but it is manageable. Hope that we can drive it next summer

Ow yea, some where down the line, there also came a 33 1.7 16V Permanent 4 WD. but this is really a project when we have the time.

I will start a Project topic for the 916 TB, because we are rebuilding the engine at the moment .

I like your garage

[charlee 314]

Very nice cars. You have great taste

 

The matte black GTA looks evil   

[kunev 131]

Nice introduction and cars  !

Only sporty ones  .

Nice garage... italian stallions

[gbinsb 22]

Thanks all,

 

The GTA is not matte black anymore.. there was a small accident with a biker. I changed it 1,5 year ago to matte anodized aluminum red

 

Inspired when I was at the 4C introduction color at Geneva.

So the color change was done with folio. Interesting color  .

[charlee 314]

A friend had a Mito in that colour.

Yes it's a wrapping, I can always go back to my nero 601

Yes it's a wrapping

 

Wow

First time I hear of 'wrapping' a car.

Is the end result as nice as a normal paint?

What's the cost of such a process, compared to a regular paint?

[charlee 314]

Wrapping is quite common. It's cheaper than spraying and you can change colour easily if you want to. 

It's not that cheap in Croatia, only slightly cheaper than painting.

 

The real advantage is choice of colour... matte grey/black/red,silver/younameit.

[Nico 5]

Cool! Thanks for the info 

[charlee 314]

No problem

[kunev 131]

And as far as I see the GTA is with bigger 330mm brakes, right?

[gbinsb 22]

Yes It are the bigger brakes 330mm. I sandblasted the calipers and painted them red again like new.

 

They where realy ugly

 

 

 

 

One of many things renewed

[Paso 239]

Cool color! Nice cars in general!

[charlee 314]

I had mine sandblasted and painted and now they look better than new
