A Work in Progress # 2.3: The Italian Correspondente's GTV


Team GTV put another big weekend into the Italian Correspondente's Alfa, having excised more small areas of rust, welded in new metal, and ground, filled, sanded and primed affected panels.  There's still a lot of work to be done.  However, the restoration's been going well, with no major surprises, so - fingers crossed - the car might be back on the road within the next few months.  The fact that it was a straight, solid base vehicle to start with helps, too; there's nothing irretrievably broken, worn out or missing to derail the operation.
