This post will include a listing of projects, some small and some expansive, that I notice need to be accomplished for Alfie’s on going maintenance. They won’t be listed in any particular order – just when I notice things and think about them.

1. The upper radiator hose leaks. I installed a new heavy duty clamp and really cranked it down but it still leaks so I have ordered a new hose to try it before I conclude that I have a radiator problem. FIXED
2. Both power windows are slow (probably from lack of use), and the driver side window will only operate with the door open suggesting that I may have a wiring issue in the door jamb where the wires pass from the body to the door. FIXED
3. Both of the door upper trim pieces need to be replaced – especially the RH side. RH SIDE FIXED, STILL NEED TO FIX THE LH SIDE
4. The car has a fairly strong fuel smell that seems to be emanating from the trunk as opposed to the engine bay. FIXED
5. The car is missing its radiator shroud. I have a new one to install at some point. FIXED
6. I need to locate the water temperature sensor that is typically located on the shroud. FIXED
7. The dash pad has a couple of bad cracks on the top – very common.
8. The windshield is slightly fogged on the “A” post LH side.
9. The front license plate mount is still on the car. A front plate is not required in Florida so I will remove the bracket.
10. I do not know the age of the fuel hose and vacuum lines in the engine or from the fuel tank to the front of the car. These will all need to be replaced. Most of the hose clamps look pretty well used or weathered so I will look into replacing them as well. FIXED
11. The mirror control switch is missing its bezel that allows the operator to select the LH or RH mirror for adjustment. These apparently break fairly easily and they are hard to find. I located a couple and have ordered them. FIXED
12. The front, under dash speakers appear to be Alfa originals – at least the speaker grilles have the Alfa Romeo name. They don’t sound very good so I may see if I can find some improved speakers that can use the same grilles. There are also some rear speakers located on the rear parcel shelf that are not working.
13. There is a lamp at the rear view mirror. I really do not know how it operates so I will need to explore that a bit. INSTALLED A NEW NON-LIGHTED MIRROR
14. The speedometer needle does twitch especially at lower speed so I may need to look at the cable?
15. The heater blower does not work at all and I discovered a brand new heater blower motor in the trunk of the car that was purchased by a previous owner. Some of the Bulletin Board posters have suggested reaching up to the fan opening under the dash to see if the fan action can be freed by starting it with a finger push. I will give that a try. Everyone says that accessing the heater and its motor is a royal pain in the _ss, so this job will be put off for a while. 
16. The air conditioner blower works just fine but apparently the compressor does not and I am sure that it needs a coolant conversion and refill. The crank/compressor pulley belt is not on the car.
17. Under the car there seems to be a slight leak at the brake pipe joint located near the fuel filter.
18. The pinion seal on the rear differential appears to be leaking. the casing was quite oily and dirty. FIXED
19. It is hard to tell at this point, but I am obviously experiencing a pretty good leak from the engine rear main and/or the transmission.
20. The flex disk or guibo looks to be in satisfactory condition. I don’t see any cracks in the rubber. However, I know that the center driveshaft support bearing and housing is bad and needs to be replaced. Again, a previous owner purchased new items and they are in the trunk of the car. Looks like I get to be the lucky one to replace them!
21. The welded front muffler bracket that attached to the brace on the transmission has been broken off and is missing completely.
22. A number of the mounting brackets and clamps (fuel filter, fuel pump, exhaust) located under the car are quite rusty, they are still functioning as they should but look pretty bad. FIXED
23. The rockers or sills on both sides of the car a quite rusty and will need to be repaired/replaced at some point. The front floor boards and the spare tire wheel well have also been patched – probably Bondo. I will need to remove all of that and properly patch with metal.
24. Replace fuel tank. FIXED
25. Replace all fuel hoses. FIXED
