After much heart searching the decision has finally been made to restore the Q4, it was that or the Maser QP IV but the Alfa tugged the heart strings more.
So the plan is to build a fast but standard in appearance wide body Q4 for road use.
Step 1: Remove the engine strip and rebuild as required to deliver a smooth, reliable (I know) 300 BHP plus motor. This work is being under taken by A4Alfa with some help from some Fiat Coupe tuning specialists to set up the custom ECU Map.
Step 2: Remove the coil-over suspension which although awesome on the track is just too hard for road use and build slightly lower than standard firm but compliant setup
Step 3: Will be to address any tin worm issues and then a full respray in the original Proteo Red.
Step 4: Remove the leather interior and fit an recommissioned original narrow body half leather setup.
Hopefully this will be all done this year, ideally for the 155 Scotland trip in October. If all goes well it should end up as near original to look at but with the uprated motor, suspension & brakes should be a bit of a sleeper until you stamp on the loud pedal
