Hi All,

Just took delivery of mr2by4's green HF2000 Stradale from Texas. Getting ready to start sorting her out so I can take her all over Northern California. Hoping to get her decently driveable first, and track-day worthy eventually. Just wanted to pop in and say hullo before bombarding the forums with technical questions!

Best,

Scott

Welcome Scott !!
And good luck with your new toy:o
Are you modifying many things on her ?

We'll see! (probably)

As of right now, the car's been completed but had lots of shoddy finishing work and was never run in and shaken down. The interior and electrical is all coming out, and I'll be doing some panel fitment work and color sanding.

She'll likely get the Alfa 6 upgrade eventually, with five lugs and coffins. She's got the US standard Beta lampredi right now, great noises but not much to back them up...Sounds like a slippery slope to lots of projects!

Yea, last time Paul was up here he told me about your car, sounds like fun. Paul should be able to help you sort out the Alfa V6 upgrade.

Beautiful. Yep, Paul's car is what inspired me to pick her up!

Welcome!

With all the kits on the west coast now we may need to have a meet when they are all done.

Nice!

What colour is that? Trying to decide on what green to do mine.

Cheers. Can't find any record of that. There is a modern green (pale) called Verde Chario. Edit - think I've found it. Fiat Light Green #358?

Fiat Veridian (326) looks like a suitably mad colour for a Stratos. Little early though as it was only used 69-73 apparently.

I went to go look at that car when it was for sale here in Michigan. When I originally saw that car, maybe 10 or 12 years ago, it made me buy mine, several years later tho. Good luck. I hope that you can get the kinks worked out and give it a good home.
