Starting the 1967 Alfa Spider Project for the first time. 

Yes, there's a typo in the title card, well done, you're smart and I'm dumb. Now please sass me about something else.

It's a mystery this channel doesn't have more subscribers. The production quality and overall content is absolutely stunning, better than many channels with bigger audiences.

Having walked past this workshop nearly every single day for the past 2 years, I can testify to the hours and hours of work that has gone into this car and I can only hope that the lucky recipient of this car will appreciate the world class job done on his car, by a master restorer in a class all of his own.

How has this channel not blow up yet?

very satisfying to hear it run after all that.

Amazing restorations - I remember 1977 - The Oil Crisis, when all Gasoline Stations in SA closed on a Friday at 6:00pm and only opened up at 6:00am on Monday - I drove with my friend in his Alfa Giulietta from College in Pretoria to Cape Town for the long Weekend. We stored Gasoline in the Trunk using empty 25liter paraffin cans, the square ones, as they packed perfectly in the trunk. We made the first leg near to Bloemfontein and filled up and then drove carefully all the way through the Northern Cape, through the Karoo on to Cape Town on our gasoline cans. Wonderful little car and brings back memories of a bygone era. Now, I am relegated to driving a gas guzzling Cayenne Twin Turbo V8 and driving my 1991 Fiat Turbo Uno in Cape Town when I come back to SA. Keep up the good work. Never throw any classic car away!

Good for you for keeping it original.

Fantastic to see it started and running as it should. All of that work has paid off. You should feel proud of your work.

Very talented young man in handling Automobile Engineering at its best........Well done......! Greetings from the Far East...

Nice job love the Alfa

The sweet sound of success.

So that’s what an Alfa engine should sound like - no slaps, tinkles, knocks or whatever. Liked the pre-start oil pressurisation protocol and the key Pre-Fit subassembling stages.

Awesome Jethro, congratulations

Nicely done sir.

Yes sir that is a big sigh of relief. She is super clean and sharp. I love that spider and agree keep it as original as possible for that fact.

Cool video!! Intelligent guy for his age!!!

Amazing sound !!

Master mechanic at work. Awesome job.

She runs!!! Great job Jethro!

A real pleasure to watch!

well done JB!!

So good

What a symphony Jethro - that dusting of hands at the end really says it all. A master in action... 👆

Very impressive work 👍🏻😃

Just keep pushing Jethro. Your channel is about to take off.

Nice job

Great work!

Such a sweet fruity sound from that engine. Its been a joy to watch you meticulously rebuild that car. Looking forwards to the first drive.

Great job. Sounds lovely!

Nice work!

That white Spider is beautiful.

Beautifull work

Pretty smart and a terrific, detailed rebuild. What a little jewel that Alfa 1600 engine is.

Impressive work! Love the car!

nice work

Wonderful! Delighted to hear it run so sweetly......all your hard work has paid off Jethro. I also agree that it's worth the effort to keep the rarer original cars original. The end is in sight - well done.

love this channel, cant believe its local, amazing

Power steering oil pump is a great idea.

Nice work. Nice car.

That good feeling when you see a new Jethro Bronner video! ❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎

Hats off

Cant wait to see it going for a joyride

Well done mate..

Dude, amazing work. What a car, what a project !

Mr. Bronner, have you got the first idea how much professionalism, care and love you communicate? Number one, bravo. Regards from Rome. Oo=V=oO

Well done, lad!

Excellent result for all your hard work. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. You don't need stupid music that ruins videos. A few more videos and this will be finished. I always look forward to watching your quality videos.

great channel, really well-produced and honest.

Jethro, I just stumbled across your channel the other day. Way back when, I owned a 1971 1750 Spyder and like most (all) former Alfa owners, I regret not having it. I am going to take my time viewing your videos and reminiscing.

You are a true craftsman sir, excellent job in that spider.

Oh man that sounds good. There is no better sound, than old carb engines. Plus the have character which is also very very good.

Great stuff! Must have been immensely satisfying to start the engine.

Thank you for a flawless and excellent video on how to first start a 105 Alfa engine. Your technical videos are super informative and an absolute pleasure to watch thanks to your style and creativity. Well done and I look forward to seeing other videos in the future!!!

Great Episode , Greetings from Greece

Good job man!!

Oh, God. That nerve-wracking moment, holding the ignition key, wanting to hear it run but finding little jobs to put the moment off! I was an Alfa mechanic in the 70's and a Bristol mechanic in the 80's and l love your vids. Keep it up, Jethro, and looking forward to the next one.

I completely agree, sometimes you just have to keep it original! Great video, beautiful car, thanks Jethro.

So glad to see the 1600 engine up and running! Looking forward to more of these high quality videos!

Having started my diy career on Volkswagens, the air cooled type, I ended up with the problem, of always forgetting to add the coolant of water cooled engines. Till this day, I have to keep a very tight rein on myself when doing an engine.

Super quality work Jethro , have really enjoyed the series.

Comment just to let youtube start recommending your video! Great job!

Spettacolare è superiore al nuovo, neanche la fabbrica faceva questi lavori di grande precisione. Auguri è goditi questa meravigliosa spider.

one of the best feelings in the world is hearing a rebuilt engine fire up for the first time.

You are my absolute idol! Greetings from México!

Jethro, I am proud of you man! Ever since we met in Hamburg because of your failed distributor i am following this channel and man, this spider is just the most beautiful car you ever showed! Remember that friend i called for the spark plugs, he had the same one but with the different style tail section, more boxy. But your is simply looking like an elegant yacht! I love it and the quality content you put out!

Major step forward ! Congrats.....she will look superb when finished!

I love seeing a cast pan and air cleaner. Very few engines ever did that, most just use tin. Great looking car, too bad they didn't make more of them, you just don't see them around any more.

how I have not discovered this channel earlier. I got a 4C and she's my baby and hope one day to buy a spider round tail as well (europe). congrats on the work :)

So nice to watch someone who knows exactly what he's doing. Beautiful car!

Great work as usual 👌 thanks for sharing 👏

Recently discovered your chanel as part of research for a client job on a 1983 Spider. Well all I have to say is: amazing job !! Keep the good work, it is really inspiring. Thumbs up from France ;)

Just found your channel after my dad and I picked up a GTV 2000. I’m sure I’ll be using your videos for tech tips and advice while we button her up. Keep them coming! Cheers from LA

Always like your videos before I watch them as I know it will be quality!

Hi Jethro. I am so happy for you. Bought a garage across the road from the old Drill Hall in Johannesburg in 1984, along with my Italian Alfa trained mechanic partner. We rebuilt a 2.0 square back, replacing every nut and bolt, hood, every rubber. It was not as new - it was better than new. Never had one moment's trouble with it. Had to sell it when we had our 3rd child. I'm now 62, and really miss it. If only I hadn't sold it....

Shocked someone from Natal is making such high-quality content.

Just wanted to say, this channel is becoming a mesmerising experience with its storytelling, mechanical noises and passion pouring all over the place - love it to bits 👍

Jethro, your hard work and attention to detail pays off as always. Didn't realize your '67 was so rare. On a plus that means it will fetch more of premium since it is all original.

What a wonderfull car and excellent build!!! You are very talented!! My first car was an Alfa 33. I've moved on to other cars and brands, but I truely wish to have another Alfa some day!

Hearty congratulations! It is also wonderful to see that you have preserved a piece of history, instead of just buying new. Well done...was holding my breath fir an oil leak, after all, she's an Alfa..cheers

I don't know you and you don't know me but I'm proud of you mate!! Really you did an amazing work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brilliant work Jethro that engine will be great once fettled and you’re well and truly close to getting the car on the road - loved your innovative way of getting oil into the engine before cranking 👍

Lovely

I absolutely crave this channel, I binge watched every episode and now I'm going back through them all again

Congratulations, that’s got to be the best feeling after so much hard work. I can’t wait until my current project reaches that stage.

Awesome! I call that a WIN! Well done!

Fantastic Jethro after all the troubles you've had it must very satisfying to hear it finally running with no serious issues thanks for sharing , looking forward to see your test drive of this beautiful restoration

Beautiful Alfa. The roundtails are absolutely beautiful. Have an 87 myself that im constantly battling. Subscribed

Hello from Southern California Just discovered your channel great production and the knowledge you bring to the subject is very impressive. love the American and British flags in the background really nice work all around.

Hi! I found your channel today, and i saw your last 2 videos. You doing a great job, and quality content. Respect.

The skill set you've developed to restore your Alfas is comprehensive, and it takes nerve to take on what you have solo. Highest kudos, Jethro. Carry on young man. 👍✌

I just watched all of your videos in one week and I'm amazed at the quality of your content. Subscribed and turned on the notification bell immediately. You have a great taste in cars and also watches. Keep up the good work!

RU-vid recommendations can be gold sometimes ! Cheers from France, I'll stay tuned

Brilliant video, what type of person gives a thumbs down to such quality product? Jealous individuals perhaps!

Well done car looks good

Another great video. keep them coming.

I love the, let me get a quick cell phone video. Every single time I end up doing the exact same, always fun to watch again months later.

I'm amazed! Great job! Kudos!

Once again, one of the best videos on RU-vid. No annoying music, modest commentary and a joy to watch. Bravo and congratulations on bringing that engine back to life. Forza Alfa!!

The look of trepidation on your face as you turned the engine over for the first time, posts testament to the hours of work and set-backs you've had on this build. Great stuff and well done.

I do enjoy your content. Its great how you explain it so simple. Anyway stay safe from Covid 19
