Thanks for all the info. That's really helpful. I've been researching and noticed a few common problems with the car. I also see that some Alfa and BMW parts are interchangeable. I'd love to hear about your experience with your Jalpa. Anything you can tell me will be very helpful. Also, I'm going to try to see it again this weekend and take a closer look. I'm bringing my camera to take some pictures so I'll try to post them soon after. Thanks again.
