What's good fam, just got my hands on a beat up '91 Alfa 164 and I'm thinkin' of resto modding it. I've got some cash to spend but I'm not sure where to start. Has anyone here done a resto mod on an Alfa before, and if so, what are some of the must-haves to focus on?

"Dude, I gotta say, resto modding an Alfa is a labor of love. Have you considered just swapping in a newer 3.0L JTS engine and a few other modern components? That way you keep the classic looks and gain some serious power."

Anyone experienced with best practices?
"Dude, I've seen some crazy resto mods on old Alfas. If you're looking for a legit route, I'd say stick with the original components and have them restored instead of completely swapping them out. Just makes it easier to maintain the car's authenticity."
"Hey guys, I gotta say, resto modding an old Alfa sounds like a sick project. I'd suggest checking out the guys at Alfa Romeo Forum, they've got some awesome threads on resto mods and they can give you a ton of advice. Also, what's the model you're working with?"
"Dude, I've seen some sick resto mods on old Alfas. If you're going for a full overhaul, I'd suggest starting with a donor engine and transmission from a later model, then work your way up to the suspension and interior. Anyone had any luck with the Guigiaro package on 916 chassis?"
