Renew crumbling headlamp wires

Alfa 156s without doubt suffer from the “environmental-friendly” material used for electrical wire wrapping. 2 main areas afflicted needing attention are seat belt pretensionors wires and headlamp wires

Replacing ashtray, windscreen water tank…

After the big work of removing the dashboard and replacing the evaporator, it’s time to take a break and pay attention to some minor issues. The 1st item is the broken ashtray

All of sudden, the ashtray did not open by pushing. In order to assess the cigarette lighter socket, I needed to pull it open with fingers. The broken pivot and column locking the spring in place have gone and caused the issue.

Alfa156 scuttle repaint

I think most of the owner of Alfa156 are annoyed by the colour faded scuttle. I am one of them and decided to do the scuttle repaint.
