1988 Alfa Romeo Spider – Continuing the clean-up

Because of the large amount of leaks, the entire front of the engine looked almost black. As you can see, some elbow grease along with some safety kleen (plus a drip tray) can do wonders for these Alfa Romeo blocks.

Our parts have arrived. A new water pump, oil pump, complete gasket set and head gasket, belt, and some suspension bits all came today from our friends at Centerline. We also have a new clutch as this is the perfect time to renew it, regardless of how worn it was (but it was fairly worn).
