I have a lot of fun perusing the listings on German eBay. I'm always surprised by all the parts for non-US cars that appear there. Here's a link to Alfa 164 parts on German eBay.

I still have Sofia the Wonder car, ('91 168 base) which has been in the garage since 2006, and needs to be brought back to life soon. But I am writing here because I have a light side project, a 1995 164 Twin Spark. It's a car that has seen some daily driver use for a long time and it shows. But it has typical Alfa charm and if our friends at Alfa had imported this car, they'd be everywhere. Frankly, it's much more charming than the V6, and a beautiful timing chain!! I am looking for some good honest sources across the pond for good used parts. I found a new clutch, that's done, and mechanically it's very solid. A pair of new yellow fog lights make her look whole again. I'm about to prep the Euro headlamps to go back in... this car is actually the source of the Euros that Sofia has had for 13 years. I do need some cosmetic items to make it right. I'm going to leave it in it's current state of patina, so maybe just maybe, I can haul on up to the convention this year. Never been to Kin'tucky. If anyone has suggestions for goo used suppliers, I'd appreciate them.
