Bonjour de l'Australie! Je aime la façon dont ce forum est actif, donc je pensais que je allais essayer de participer. Permettez-moi savoir si google translate œuvres ok ?!
Je ai un projet Montréal nécessiteux. Ce est une voiture-allemand livré. Il a été porté sur l'Australie il ya quelques années et quelqu'un a commencé à 'restaurer' il. Au moment où je l'ai acheté de nombreuses pièces manquaient donc je suis dans le processus de collecte des morceaux dont je ai besoin. Ce sera un long processus, mais je me suis engagé à le faire correctement.


le numéro de châssis est 1428023


Je ai aussi un restauré 1966 Giulia Super 1966 et un GT Veloce ainsi.



Ciao,


Derek

Hello from Australia! I like how active this forum is so I thought I would try and participate. Let me know if google translate works ok?!
I have a needy Montreal project. It is a german-delivered car.  It was brought over to Australia a few years ago and somebody started to 'restore' it. By the time I bought it many parts were missing so I am in the process of collecting the bits I need. It will be a long process but I am committed to doing it correctly.


I also have a restored 1966 Giulia Super and a 1966 GT Veloce as well.

Hi Derek,
Welcome to this Forum and don't worry with Google translation. If you feel that nobody will understand just try it in English, like you did.
Even if most of members of this forum are Frenchies, proud like roosters to have such quality forum, they are not nose up and do all undertsand English, and for some of them german, spanish and Italian.

As mentioned by "did.com" it seems that you are the farest member of this forum.

We appreciate pictures, and nice stories, so send some nice big pictures of the 1966 Giulia Super and a 1966 GT Veloce as well.
when i look your current pictures, it looks like mine 1.5 year ago.

i have a question for you : do you have an idea of how many (runing) Montreal are in Australia ?

Thanks Didier and Niamkoko. There are not many Montreals in Australia. Marco Fazio at Alfa Romeo told me there were 74 sold new to Australia. I think there would be about 25-30 still on the road. Many have been sold to England and Japan because they are RHD. I know of about 7 that are undergoing restoration. I am making a list of all the parts I will need for my car. Hopefully I will find the parts for reasonable prices as I am not in a rush. I will also make a website to document the restoration. My other cars are on my website   http://www.alfa-male.com >www.alfa-male.com but I haven't updated the website for a long time.

My GT Veloce :http://www.alfa-male.com/blog/category/my-cars/gt-veloce-project/


The Giulia Super was neglected for many years before I bought it. I drove it to work for a few years and then decided to give it some love. My GT Veloce hasn't been on the road for many years and has been moved through many people's garages. I am in contact with a previous owner who was a pilot in Papua New Guinea. He took the car up there with him. I think it would have been the only one in the country!

Je fais une liste de toutes les parties dont je aurai besoin pour ma voiture. Je espère que je vais trouver les pièces à des prix raisonnables que je ne suis pas pressé. Je vais aussi faire un site pour documenter la restauration. Mes autres voitures sont sur mon site   http://www.alfa-male.com >www.alfa-male.com mais je ne ont pas mis à jour le site Web pendant une longue période.

Le Giulia Super a été négligé pendant de nombreuses années avant que je l'ai acheté. Je l'ai conduit à travailler pendant quelques années, puis décidé de lui donner un peu d'amour. Mon GT Veloce n'a pas été sur la route pendant de nombreuses années et a été déplacé à travers les garages de nombreuses personnes. Je suis en contact avec un ancien propriétaire qui était pilote en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée. Il a pris la voiture là-bas avec lui. Je pense que cela aurait été le seul dans le pays!

Dear Aussie 105,
thank you for all these information and for the pictures.

For spare parts : you might be disapointed by the price. As the Montreal price is rising like a rocket to the moon, spare parts follow the same way.
Lucky you are, because in this forum you have lot of tutorial to restore in a cheap way and of course good quality. but when talking of mechanical parts, it starts to be difficult to make cheap.
if i have one advise for you, it is this one : be carefull with your back windscreen. if you brake it your are in a deep sh....
this item is the most rare item IN THE WORLD.
 
before you painted it fully white, was is it usual to have 2 colors for the Giulia Super in Australia ?

Regarding the GTV, did you get the full package ? the car and the girl ?

Hahaha, I think that girl would be 60 years old now as the photo was taken in the 1970's! I am only 37 so she is too old for me! Yes it was unusual to a two-tone Alfa. The previous owner told me he painted the roof blue because it looked more 'european' ....


I have found some good parts recently like a distributor without cap and rotor for 200euro last week and some used taillights for 120 euro ( one needs to be repaired)


I need to find a pair of front seats and door cards next.


I will take great care of my rear screen!



I will enjoy making the engine look new again like I did with my Super

I need to find a pair of front seats and door cards next.


   

what is the problem with your seats ?
if you still have them, they can be completely renewed like I did,

and

what do you call "door card" ? is it the inside part of door ?
if it is only the insert (flat part), it is quite easy to renew

 see there

The problem is I have no seats Or door cards (yes the inside panel of the door). A previous owner kept them. I do have the arm rests though.

Thanks Alain, I will try to post pictures that way from now on. There are some nice parts for sale at the moment. It is a pity that the Australian dollar is now weaker. Freighting large items to Australia is also expensive. There were a nice pair of seats for sale in the Netherlands recently for 350 euro but the would not respond to my emails


Merci Alain, je vais essayer de poster des photos de cette manière à partir de maintenant. Il ya certaines parties agréables à vendre pour le moment.Affrètement de gros articles à l'Australie est également coûteux. Il y avait une belle paire de sièges à vendre aux Pays-Bas récemment, pour € 350, mais le seraient pas répondre à mes e-mails.
