The Alfa and the Porsche look bloody good next to each other in that garage Jeff, what a pair of classics

@TheCluelessEnthusiast 3 месяца назад

It looks so cool seeing the alfa and porsche parked in the same garage.

@arthurquinlan3862 3 месяца назад

You should add reinforcing plates to the sway bar mounts. The factory mounts are simply not up to track use. Wevo (and probably others) make pre-formed mounts that get welded in.

@beatingyou01 3 месяца назад

I second this. It even looks like it would be relatively trivial to weld a plate along the inner edge of the mount to the frame behind it.

Only recently came across this channel, been binge watching when I can. Love the in depth videos of the builds. The Alfa caught my attention, my uncle had one (a GT Junior that is) back in the 80s, they always had special place in my heart since then.

Patreon for the win … I’m just here to feed the algorithm. Harry checklist gets smaller, and the F600 list looms…

@HomeBuiltByJeff 3 месяца назад

It certainly does. I am really looking forward to the new challenge :D

@davidklauer3422 3 месяца назад

Right on

@lucasmoreno5330 3 месяца назад

One of my favourite cars on RU-vid. Not because it's the best but how much you and Mrs Jeff love Harry.

@cam3002 3 месяца назад

Recommend reinforcing the rear sway bar mounts. There are kits available for purchase or make your own. Seems to be a know weak spot.

@bjb8182 3 месяца назад

Jeff. I made a doubler on the side facing inboard on both swaybar brackets. Much more reliable now.

@HomeBuiltByJeff 3 месяца назад

It it probably worth me doing something like that.

@mackellmo1083 3 месяца назад

It's all the little details that make the difference.

@florasdad1 3 месяца назад

I love the fact you have a program of continual improvements and fine tuning

@davidburne9477 3 месяца назад

Good move with the tint. All the growths excised between my brow and my jawbone has been on the right hand (driver’s window) side. In South Australia we have up to 275 sunny days a year, so skin damage is almost a given… I always get UV tinting.

@alastairwatson3201 3 месяца назад

Mid-week content! Thanks.

@jgambit001 3 месяца назад

tinting the rear window, do it in strips the same as the front window leading edge but all the way down to the bottom of the rear window, if you have gaps, they really cant be seen and even gaps make it more interesting

@GarageofHope 3 месяца назад

In the time Jeff has built three full cars, I have made about 5% progress on my project car! It's impressive and depressing at the same time!!! Great work Jeff!

@thomassoderstrom6369 3 месяца назад

Glad I was right about it being the rear sway bar but disappointed that it was broken clean off. Great work.

@walterkucharski4790 3 месяца назад

Jeff those sway bar mounts Will tear out with any spirited driving. Ask me how I know! Anyone who tracks a 911 will at least weld a plate to box up the mounts on the backside of the mount. Better solution is the solid mounts from Elephant racing or other suppliers. The Tarret adjustable sway bars were my choice and I'm very happy with them. Good luck. Great 911. I have a '77 IROC clone. Cheers from Quebec Canada.

I love that 911! I hope mine is as cool. -Spanky

The Alfa looks great, waiting to see if the engineer approves the changes.

@dra911 3 месяца назад

Rear sway bar brackets snapping off are a super common problem on these cars. It's on my todo list to reinforce mine...

@gradocchio 2 месяца назад

That sway bar mount is a typical failure point, especially if stiffer than stock sways are mounted. On our track cars we cut the originals off and install the Wevo (IIRC) mounts, much stronger, but your reinforcement should be fine for stock.

@abdulkareemrainers3142 3 месяца назад

Some of the newer cars have this plastic grommet type thing that is stitched into the carpet and the mats have holes in them that clip into the grommets, if the velcro wears off then you could use that in harry

@truthseeker8483 3 месяца назад

I always fit a tinted strip (banner) to the top of my windscreen..although fitted to the inside.....it makes a big difference to visibility in sunny conditions. I also have the other windows 80% tinted. Overseas viewers may not understand why it is such a big deal though....😁

@rjung_ch 3 месяца назад

👍💪✌ Nice tint, no more break issues and sway bar is fixed, nicely done Jeff. It's such a nice 911.

@jimclarke1108 3 месяца назад

Busy man Jeff,im still getting over the events in the Alf.and the Kenworth videos

@71dean 3 месяца назад

looks like another barn will have to be built 😁

@jeremyaus 3 месяца назад

Hi Jeff, small fact. Tinting is nice anyway but almost all glass including that in normal cars, does not transmit anymore than about 5% of the UV through it. You may feel hot but you can't really get sunburnt, its better than spf 50.

@dericknash6127 3 месяца назад

Heel plates my dude!

@johngibson3837 3 месяца назад

Was visiting my family in oz maybe 10 years ago got lift back from south coast in a current statesman so aircond good ,but sun coming through closed window was painful

@steamtrac 3 месяца назад

Failure of the rear swaybar mounts is common on these cars when running stiffer suspension then stock. You need reinforcements, or they will break again. There are plenty ideas and products available to solve this.

@benstrait333 3 месяца назад

Woohoo, bonus Harry content! It's been a weird week for me, so when I saw the video pop up on my feed i had to double check that it was Wednesday, not Sunday, lol 🤣

@AlsETypeResto 3 месяца назад

Know what you mean re burnt arm. I got a pair of “sleeves” and use one on my right arm. Makes a big difference

@robertkrauss7161 3 месяца назад

Jeff, that sway bar repair is likely to crack that weld in no time, personally I would have boxed the inboard side to the frame to crest support on both sides if the bracket.

@plus790 3 месяца назад

70% tint is awesome, especially for windshields. You can hardly tell it's there but it preserves the dash and interior. I used it on a windshield in one car, with 35 or 45% on all the other windows. And on the 1969 GTV I recently bought, I'm going to go with 70% on *all* windows. Will keep the car cool and the interior protected, but still almost invisible to preserve that vintage look.

@jouleskelvin 3 месяца назад

Harry looks great. Lloyd's in California make some very nice formats. I just got a set for my 991.2 TS... Excellent quality and fit.

@bradgriffiths7507 3 месяца назад

I did the same with the "banner area" to my NP300, it made the car so much more confortable... definately a good mod, old car or new

@cedriclason9436 3 месяца назад

Good work again Jeff! On the sway bar front you could have reinforcement the left one too. This was not an accident, they tend to not hold a lifetime. It seems Porsche gradually beefed up the bars but kept the same mounts creating a weak spot.

@rongeernaert1208 3 месяца назад

Nice anti Sun work, but Sunbeams through glass are more dangerous than actually sitting in the Sun !

@michaelfabbi8722 3 месяца назад

Hey Jeff, glad your person from Alberta (CA) sent you all the rest of Canadian coinage. I thought I had two Toonies and a Loonie but was wrong also the plastic currency I had went with my children on their l

@michaelfabbi8722 3 месяца назад

Oops...last trip to Canada. Of course I'm sure we're both spoofing you. I have watched episodes with Harry and some of 240 Z(Zee in my adopted parlance) but nothing has captivated me as much as your work on the Alfa. Have been watching every Sunday morning for a long, long time. I sweated buckets getting a Panhard rod and a rear tyranny mount centered on my old 124BC (Fiat Coupe)

@fillrobs7726 3 месяца назад

Here in Taiwan all cars have tinting - great work!

@jamieformosa7302 3 месяца назад

love bonus vids :)

@DavidTYork 3 месяца назад

That is a gorgeous car 🤩🚗

@bobgcampbell 3 месяца назад

I would suggest what a lot of cars do, have a grommet in the corners of the mat. You could do that with a hook on your bracket. I've had too many failures when Velcro is in a dirty location.....

@bobgcampbell 3 месяца назад

Yeah, I don't think Jeff has a Telegram account. Not gonna take the bait.

@danielhughes9556 3 месяца назад

@bentandre5524 3 месяца назад

nice

@stevenwest1494 3 месяца назад

Oh yeah, I noticed when I was in the tropics, that even a strong air-conditioning system can be overpowered by the beating sun, making an inside cabin a microwave. It can raise temperatures so fast it's unreal.

@ThrottleStopGarage 3 месяца назад

10K Km is excellent. I have to find a Canadian supplier of this tint film!

@HomeBuiltByJeff 3 месяца назад

It is well worth while on these old cars, but keeping the classic look :D

@holdencaulfield1001 3 месяца назад

Hello Jeff, I tried to spot the roof-dent in the Alfarrari and couldn’t see it. Either it’s been fixed or it’s so inconspicuous you don’t need to worry about it.

@matthewviviano3653 3 месяца назад

You should put HARRY in reverse lettering on the front banner so anyone who looks in their rear view mirror knows who’s behind them. Poor Harry, you need to give him a good clean or you’ll have to start calling him Dirt Harry!😂

The Windscreen tint looks a bit too low for the wiper sweep

@Mr_Spegru 3 месяца назад

on the outside?

@kevinhamling1963 3 месяца назад

Hey Jeff, A couple of videos ago, you mentioned that Mrs Jeff drives Harry to work. Maybe Mrs Jeff has had something to do with Harry's broken suspension. Just saying. ✌️ Peace.

@veteran011 3 месяца назад

shouldn't the window banner have gone on the inside surface? did you use some special film?

@peter-fuppe-fuchs 3 месяца назад

Nooooooo did you break Harry? 😥

@bluesquadron593 3 месяца назад

Wait, did you put the tint on the outside? That will end up scratched in no time and look horrible/cant see anything through. I just googled it, so one can start on the outside for making a template with easier access, but you need to transfer it or add a new piece on the inside.
