@@Tannerlegasse thanks for the great comment, unfortunately things are a bit slow on the video front as I don't have much time to edit, however I post some updates on Instagram, as it quicker

@@mattmcnulty7191 it's AR 506, Standox brand, they have the classic colour charts too

@@3ducs thanks for the interest in the channel, glad you're finding it useful. I think its better to spend more in a better shell without missing parts than finding one sub 2k, when these cars rot they rot deep down to the structure, if there is severe rot in the firewall and scuttle it's probably too bad to save. Classic Alfa and other suppliers stock an amazing variety of parts for cars of this age but not every repair panel is available, that's why we made some panels our selves, also the cost starts adding up. As for the rotisserie, I could have gone the engine stand way but a friend made his rotisserie with lots of ground clearance so I copied his plans :) btw the car still isn't done 8 years later but we're in the final assembly stage, this week I started fitting a new headliner kit

@@raisingjunior6389 Thanks for your quick reply! On the plus side all the parts are there and the car is straight, not dented. It's a 1750, fuel injected. The car was last registered in 1984, I don't know how much of the time since then it's been outside, a fair amount of it. I live close to the car, 20 minutes, I'll have another look this week and check the firewall from inside, the scuttle looks good. I pored over the Alfaholics catalogue, it's quite thorough. The Jaguars I restored needed floors and bulkheads, pontoons, door skins, the lot. I have gas, MIG, and resistance spot welders, air compressor and sandblaster. My house has a walkout basement that would make a good shop, climate controlled year round, the car would be right under where I now sit. I know it would be a big job but I'm looking for just that thing, a challenge. If you'd like I'll report back on what I find this week and if I made a deal for the car, it has a motivated seller, health issues.

@@3ducs that sounds like a good deal, usually sub 5k cars in Europe are glass donors only but there are still good deals to be found out there. That is a very desirable model too. There is an older thread on the Alfa BB forum, called French blue restoration something along those lines, which covers a lot of bodywork. I used this thread as a reference to check how panels are welded together etc. Best of luck, hope it's a good base, if you have any questions feel free to ask here or on Instagram @raisingjunior if you're on it. I post more updates there

@@raisingjunior6389 When I pitch my offer to the seller I will point out that beyond the glass and engine/drivetrain there is little of value in the car without someone willing to spend a lot of money and time. I'll go see him tomorrow, wish me luck! He may shoot me down and all this will be for naught.

Thanks, I just had a look at your channel and there are some great videos there!

Thanks...not to worry the steel rims are temporary and the tyres are over 20 years old. I will be using the silver alloys shown at the end, i'll get new tyres and balance them when the car is close to be done

@@raisingjunior6389 On a further viewing, I note the trial fit of the replica GTA rim. Appreciate the response - thank you.

9:41 & 10:43.

This part took about 3 and half to 4 years of Saturdays working on it, prep for paint took us another year of Saturdays!

Wow, that’s amazing. You are a total inspiration.

@@alecjones7299 thanks I'm still not done but to be honest I only got a couple of months worth of work this past year!

Hi Nick, thanks for the concern but it's quite the opposite, my wife and I had a baby boy in late 2021 so free time just vanished hehe. I kept at it with the few free hours I had available

Congratulations. So now there are three generations of Alfistas in your family.😀👏

Thanks a lot, they've been taking long but I hope it will be done....some day!!

Thanks for great comment, I believe you're in luck as later today/tomorrow we will be uploading a new episode which we finished editing last weekend. During the past year I was a bit short on free time to work on it but the project is still going...stay tuned for Ep 19, there's a couple of small surprises too

This was the last video we posted but by this weekend we will upload a new video showing the current stage of the car. Over the past year I didn't have a lot of time to work on it but the project is still going on slowly. I post regular updates on Instagram @raisingjunior

La maggioranza delle lamiere sono state comprate da 'Classic Alfa' In Ingilterra ma ci sono altre compagnie in Europa specializate in ricambi Alfa Classiche come OKP, Del priore, Zucca ricambi etc

@@raisingjunior6389 ok .

Hi Antonio, thanks for watching, this episode is the last one uploaded as I didn't have a lot time to work on the car this past year, however we are editing episode 19 at the moment..

Send me an email at raisingjunior@gmail.com...I have it saved

Yes well they're painted with primer then I applied wax after the paint was done

Thanks!! this video is a compilation of 5 years of work on weekends, with enough practice and patience most people can do it...it takes time

Thanks for watching!! Good plan, don't cut up the step nose body as it's more rare than the 1600gt Junior. An engine shouldn't prove to be too difficult to find unless you want a specific engine block code. I bought my car without and engine too!

Amazing...it was the culmination of 4 years of work

Haha thanks for thinking about it :) btw the car isn't done yet, but it's should be on it's 4 wheels in the near future

Thanks for the nice comment, great question, as I used a flux core welder for the rotisserie but changed to gas sheliding for the repairs on the car. I used a CO2/argon gas mix called Atal for the Mig welding

@@raisingjunior6389 Thank you. I have just watched the episode with your daughters: they are charming. Best wishes.

Thanks...that part took a long time to complete!

Thanks for the interest, I hope to finish it in a couple of months, if you're curious to see where its at now I have some update pictures on Instagram

The closest contender was Ochre yellow however I've seen another great colour called "Azzurro Spazio" which I wasn't aware of before, still Bluette is my favorite

@@raisingjunior6389 My GTV is Giallo Piper. I've got a Berlina that would look really good in Bluette.

Thanks, it's the common places were these old Alfas like to rust !

Thanks for the interest, it's a bit difficult to say at this point as I haven't had a lot of time to make progress on the car this year. We did move on with sound deadening, wax protection, rear axle refurbishment and just started the wiring...still need enough content for a video

Awesome, these cars just do that, keep us busy! I've been at it for 6 years now but progress has slowed down this year

Thanks, I never worked with lead so I wasn't sure if to use it or not...still the edge would have ended up being 6mm thick or so

@@raisingjunior6389 Thanks for your reply,I also saw in another of your videos that your garage is small and lead is poisonous.Almost all porsche and ferrari I have worked on from 60's and 70's have leaded gaps.Still great work.

Thanks, there's plenty to watch, it's getting exciting now!

Thanks, there are more episodes after this when we started painting the body

@@raisingjunior6389 I'm seriously looking at a 1967 1750 Alpha Veloche. Scarry rust but seen worse. Runs drives stops. Decent shape. On the fence, am pretty decent with a wrench and been long time since I did any body work, but I guess it's like riding a bike! Wanting 16k quite a bit to me. Prices r crazy now but music going to stop. Will keep car if I fix up. And drive it

@@raisingjunior6389 if I do buy it, I could sure use a few pointers!

Can you send me an email on raisingjunior@gmail.com and I'll reply with the blue prints

Thanks, it's been in the making for a while hope to finish it eventually!
