BEFORESPIDERSHOMEAFTER

Transformation of a 1969 Giulia GTJ to a GTA replica

Here's some pictures of the work

 

Chopped out wheel arch

Horrible sill - someone had spent a lot of time patching this badly

Interior out - one floorpan in - 3 to go.....

No front springs

The difference in the springs - original versus Harvey-Bailey

Welding underneath - ouch!

The door lines up - or at least will!

Trial fitting of the racing seat - very tight

The lightweight GTA dash before preparation

Dropping in the 2000 engine and 1300 gearbox

Complete and easy to do

Old-style gear select that requires a different gearlever

The GTA-style swivelling trumpets just look fantastic....

....can't wait to hear what they sound like

The valence cooling vents

Pretty much ready for MOT & set-up before tackling outer paint
