Nice!!!!! Now if you could only sneak one of the later V6 engines like the GTV under the hood but without all of the emissions stuff;)
 
Here's a Moose I took some 40 years or so ago. :-) The only photo I have of any of my hunting days. I'm on the left in the photo.

I built the Grandfather Clock, and, designed and built the Guitar Display case. I collect S.Yairi vintage Classical Guitars as well as Gibson Les Pauls and ES guitars. I "play" at playing. I also collect Semi-Antique Persian(Sirjan) rugs.

Thanks Alfaholic and Del!

Posting such pictures not only enhances this thread visually,
but really tells so much about who you are and what you look
like too, if you are also seen in the picture somwhere...

All the best,

Since the response of Forumites has been so enthusiastic to display
their other interests, and only a fraction of the members have done
so until now, I think that this Tread should remain forever as a Sticky....
It will be a truly exciting document to return to again and again...

I am really, REALLY(!!) enjoying every post!

What do you think?

Can this be done?

All the best.

Del...you have some nice collections and are obviously a talented craftsman.

Alfaholic - great looking project. I love cars too but admittedly was not familiar with an Alfa GTV. I think more of Graduates and Spyders when I think of Alfas.

Working a full time job, and part-time as a knife maker doesn't leave me a lot of time for hobbies, but I enjoy reading, photography, hiking, camping, and just driving around seeing the sights (which sometimes involves 4-wheel drive:) )

Some of my pics of the local area, not great pics but it was fun getting 'em

Thanks Joe my '74 has a more modern Twinspark motor. Balanced and blue printed with throttle bodies and fuel injection it will be fairly quick for a 2.0 litre around 180hp.The V6's are a problem to fit into the little Giulia body and it requires extensive reworking of the lower sub-frame.
I also have a '84 3.0 GTV one of only 212 made and homologated for Group N racing...... here she is

I love to hunt and fish in lakes, rivers, and the big pound. I've turned to archery hunting out of the desire to make it happen much closer, increasing the challenge. I have alway had a very close relationship with the out of doors, it's like having an affair with mother nature..

So-Lo,

Many of your interests would look nice in pictures... How about it?
Ball point pen drawing? Some samples of you work!?

If your kids are now your full time "job/hobby", show us!

All the best,
