My project car arrived last night and I must say overall I’m rather happy with the site unseen purchase. It’s a 2010 156 GT in silver grey with 142k miles on the clock. It’s stood for over three years since the MOT expired in 2019 was a clean bill of health. I was expecting way worse.
I bought it as a non runner but it starts and drives all be it not great. Got up to temp and held steady. No blue smoke from the exhaust at either start up, prolonged idle or revving. there is a puff of black smoke consistent with the codes below of running rich. The brakes are corroded but work and seemed to have cleaned up and there are no funny noises from the suspension.
So far I’ve done a code read and the list of codes is long but not too bad. Looks like some fuelling issues there.

the only electronic thing I can find which is not working is the rear spoiler. It’s stuck in the lower setting and the actuation tests are failing.
it should be fun and I hope this is of interest to some of you. I’ll definitely be asking for advice as I go along I imagine.
cheers
