sorry about the shocking image quality. I need a new phone. but here goes.

heres my bella on life support.

and heres the donor car.

The one I crashed has the better paintwork and is mechanically sound so gonna use the other one for panels.

but looking at the donor i'll still need an offside wing and a grill as their not in great shape.

Once i'm done i'm gonna open it up to offers for parts. Then i'm weighing the donor car in.

Robin has already bagged the steering wheel, and handbrake and gear stick gaiters.

Full set of phase one wheels will be on offer though not sure of timescale yet.

gonna keep engine to have a as a rebuild project when i'm not so busy. its an ally top too.

so to give it a run down.

168,000 miles, every panel is a different colour red

, 2 owners from new.

What it would need if i wasn't breaking it:

clutch, exhaust, tyres, resparay, belts, variator, battery.

weirdly six months ago it failed an mot on tyres only and thats it, then got rectified and sorted with an mot.

Good news is didn't pay much more than what i'll get at the scrap man. so i could well come out of this quits as far as parts go

Didn't think the crash was that intense, how where you after it all happened? The donor car looks in very good shape, so this means yours is going to look great too After all it's an phase-1 QV --------------------

Well I can finally put the blue badge thing to rest. This car has extreme sunfade on one side. The boot QV badge is Green. the left QV badge is green, but the right QV badge is............you guessed it Blue their not special their just sun faded. Re. me and the crash. That was 20 mph into a stationary ford transit connect. I now know why NewZealand banned them on safety grounds. Me? I've been on pain killers since and forgot to take them today and only noticed thiis afternoon I had a sore head. I've got an interior light shaped bump on it and I have no recollection of about 24hrs after the crash. I think i may have had concousion. But i'm over that now. I think the posts where i said i was scrapping my bella confirms the bump to the head. I have now seen sense and she's gonna come back stronger than ever.

I interpret that to mean that 146's should bow down to 145's -------------------- "THE CLUE FOR ANYONE WHO'S JUST BEEN OVERTAKEN BY AN ALFA ROMEO 145 IS THE INNOCENT LOOKING FOUR LEAF CLOVER BADGE MOUNTED ON THE TAILGATE AND SILLS..."
