Alfa 147 - Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo Conversion - 310Bhp

[Alfa_owner 6]

Hello guys... couldn't seem to find the project area so thought i would put this here!!

 

My story starts in 2010 when on Christmas day i smashed my Seat Leon :'( Having argued with some ice she ended up rear ending the barrier going onto the M4

 

Just after christmas we attempted to repair the work but a snapped wishbone arm and the extent of the body damage just wasnt cost effective and i wrote the car off.

This then meant i needed another car so i looked to the usual suspects to find a decent car. I had a budget of £2000 which wouldn't go along way. I looked mainly at Audi A3's and S3's but found none in a decent condition for my price range.

 

??? Bummed out and needing a car for work i started searching locally for 'cheap' cars... my dad and ex girlfriend were great at this point having searched high and low for what seemed an impossible ask... we had a couple of options;

Alfa Romeo 147, Couple of mk4 golfs and obviously saxo's and corsas.

 

Went to look at the Alfa first and immedietly fell in love.

Having been owned by a middle aged couple - motorbike owners. it looked well looked after. 2 owners. They had bought it for their son whom kept dropping his bike but he couldn't get used to driving it.. so it had to go.
