For something that sat in a field for 11 years it looks surprisingly good.

This great MAN can fix everything on an Alfa Romeo. And he is doing all this alone! Respect!

@hamzah3138 3 года назад

Every time I watch one of your videos I immediately go to auto trader or ebay thinking I'm going to buy an old Alfa and then I realise I have neither the workshop, nor the tools or the skills! So I go and watch another one of your videos. Fantastic work. Well done.

@yandenuts Год назад

I love your videos. Just pure Alfa pleasure, learning, watching and enjoying. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills, tricks and especially your experience. It is not easy being a mechanic, and it is bloody hard when you want to explain and record every little detail that you so easily do. Not sure that many appreciate the effort you put in. Thank you again!

The best RU-vid suggestion I've had for a while, it just made me regret selling my 155 v6 even more! I put an LPG conversion on it and did 100k miles mostly driving up and down from Cornwall to Telford.

@aukanmeister 3 года назад

Thank you for that amazing video! The washers for the oil cooler are called "dowty ring/washer" it is meant for straight pipe threads where you don't have a tapered pipe thread to seal. Typically used on BSP threads. Very similar to NPT, but straight. Thank you for doing this for our viewing pleasure!

I dunno, I've got low mileage 147 that was stood there years, it's needed all sorts including a crank sensor and welding floor/exhaust where as my high mileage 147 was solid underneath, used less and the previous owner had treated it like crap (sump plug held in with plumbers tape).

Some notice about the badge. The red cross on white in the left is the standard of the free borough of Milan about 1100-1200 DC. The green beast in right on blue is not a drake, but a big snake with a crown on its head and it is eating a man. This was the standard of Visconti-Sforza family dukes of Milan 1300-1400 DC till the conquest of the king of France. It came from a legend about a big snake living in a dump around Milan and eating men. This is the famous V6 engine of ing. Busso originally with 2 valves for cylinder when Alfa Romeo was a company. Now is only a badge of Stellantis Group and only two cars are built on "George" chassis.

@Anathem22 3 года назад

This restoration is very funny to watch when you own an Alfa 156, which has holes in the floor, oil consumption is 10 liters per 1000 km and the rear handles are torn off, but at the same time this is your daily car and this is the maximum you can afford in college. Someone better get my car refurbished over this near-perfect GTV.

What an amazing Job. Lots of work done. Please, Three things to improve: 1) Wear safety protections. glasses when you're welding, rubber goves all the time. 2) Consider pressure wash the car befor working on it. Around the wheels, the engin-bay and under the car... To have a cleaner environnment of work and for us a cleaner environnement to look at. 3) Dont install new things on old-looking and rusty things. Clean and prep against corrosion everyting you work on. It's satissfaying to watch and also improve the gneral health of the car. We know how these Alfa-Roméo did not have the best Rust protection from factory. Stay safe and best regards

@peterhorne6837 3 года назад

A job very well done Neal, its amazing that the GTV is still in such a good condition after standing in the bush for 11 years, with very little rust on the body etc. Just a pity that the underside suspension parts are rusted, but that seems to be a problem with all cars in the UK. Here in South Africa our Alfa's don't rust underneath on the chassis and suspension. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

My 147 was sat for 3 years before I bought it and it's had to have a lot of things fixed like crank sensor and holes in the floor so I hope you can get it done, I do believe leaving these cars stood is really bad for them.

For a stripped allen head, if it's not too bad put some valve lapping compound in the head, it will take up the space and give you a good grip. If that doesn't work, cut a piece of soda can and put over the head and drive your allen key in with a hammer.
