What i can see , the work of my first year 1983. You have Potential!.

You must really love Alfa's..... Great presentation, marvelous effort and perseverance with your efforts well done.

It takes true dedication,perseverance and absolute love for these iconic cars to be restored properly. I have a 1971 Giulia Super 1600 Biscione, (RHD),and fully appreciate your dedication to the restoration process.. I shudder to think how many of these cars were destroyed in the 70s, in order to make pointless and stupid police car chase movies in Italy.

Fantastic video, this is a difficult repair so its normal to have to try a couple of different ways of making it. Sometimes its worth it to restart with a new piece of steel like you did, the second time its easier! Well done :)

Thanks, Mylord. Much appreciated. An awful hell of a lot work that was!

Recognizable problem with the sheet metal getting too thin;) Be carefull with grinding off the weld and dont hit good (new) metal. And also pay attention to the heat generated in the sheet metal with grinding (and welding). Use copper behind a hole, works great to closing up a hole! You can buy some copper weld tools. You can make nice sheetmetal patches! :)

NIcely done. Thank you. I feel your pain on burn throughs on thin rusty metal. I'm saving up for a TIG welder as I believe the temperature control is more accurate and better able to deal with sheet metal. Curious-are you applying Solder or is that Lead applied with a torch? Also for non structural metal with pitting, ( you still need to neutralize any trace of rust) you might look at a product called AllMetal. Its a skim filler with a significant portion content of metal (I think its Aluminum) that is more durable than a bondo.

Thanks, Steve. Much appreciated. I think you're right with the TIG welding, but when it comes to pricing they play in a different league. The soldering material I used is so-called silver solder, or to be precise AG106 L-Ag34Sn AG134 (34% silver). It melts at 700+something degrees and gives good adhesion and strength. Thanks for the tip with the AllMetal. I was planning to use Brunox, but I'll do some research on it ...

Great video. What are some basic tools you suggest for someone who wants to start tackling some old rust?

Wieder tolles Video Johannes! Warum hast den Kupferblock nicht untergelegt beim Löcherschweissen? Der lag ja schon im Hintergrund rum. Nimm dir die Hitze vom Blech und das Schweissgut läuft nicht durch.

Danke, Markus! Nett von Dir. Das Kupferblech bringt m.E. nur was, wenn’s ohne Spalt fast anliegt und wo das möglich war, hab ich’s auch verwendet, siehe 11:07 und 17:07, etc. Auf konkaven Flächen wird‘s schwierig. Da müsste man sich für jeden speziellen Fall eine Blech mit einem bestimmten Radius biegen und sich irgendeine Vorrichtung bauen, die es dagegen drückt. Oder übersehe ich was?

@@GreasyFingers Use a welding nozzle of 0.5 and weld max.1.5 cm. Take one sheet metal hammer and bag and knock the weld flat. Then you weld another 1.5 cm and knock the weld flat. Continue these steps until the whole is welded. This method only works if you can reach it from the back with the bag! This way of working knocks out the stretch that arises during welding. An additional advantage is that you do not have to grind the weld seam after welding.
