Dear all, you might notice a slightly more smoky voice this time. Unfortunately neither cigars, nor whiskey, nor any outstanding performances of the Mannschaft are responsible for that, but the stupid virus which I caught right in the editing process of this film.

I view many car restoration channels many being classic mini ones as that is a car that I am restoring. However some are spoilt by unrelated waffling poor camera work and 90% of content shown on time lapse. I've only just discovered this channel and what a difference, so professional excellent close up camera work with detail commentary, that Alfa is going to be awesome! thanks very much, Rod from the UK.

Thanks very much, Rod. That’s wonderful feedback, it makes my day.

There was a book that was turned into a movie about a women that made a Julia Child recipe everyday. I have no idea if either are any good. The reason I bring it up is, someone could use you videos as a reference and try to recreate each one. It would be called becoming Greasy. Even if the movie was not very good at least the world would have a couple more classic cars. Love the music. Thanks for taking the time to inform, entertain and not invade an innocent country :)

I pick up useful tips on every video of yours I watch. It's really great seeing someone do a job properly and not rush it. Out of interest what fluid tip size do you use for your mini spray gun?

Hi, its great to see the repairs you have done to your Guila as there isn't too many videos, I have one as well, needless to say with "some" rust in the same spots so I was wondering a few things for evident future repair. For instance if this was the only project you were focused on how long would it have taken and roughly how much a repair like this would cost. Also you mentioned that there was some accident damage in the front so I was wondering how hard it is to repair them on these 105 series cars since just the sills have a complex design. Love to watch the craftsmanship and really appreciate this video resource!

@GreasyFingers

Жыл бұрын

Glad you’re here, mate. I guess a normally rotten Giulia sill would take me about 50h per side today, if I apply my high standards of rust protection. Floor pans about the same. The front doors are rather harmless, but the rear ones are very complex to repair. If I bought another one today, I’d above all else made sure the rear doors are okay. The accident isn’t much of a problem to repair, the only issue is a lack of space, so I need to remove the engine first. All the best for your project!
