Hello my dearest viewer.
I am not a certified technician. I have a master's degree in economics. I have no experience in filming and editing videos. English by far is not my native language.
So, I asked myself, am I qualified to make car repair related videos? No.
Can I make a good video? No. But I hope with time I can improve.
And while I'm improving here, if I help at least one person, I'm happy!

Fiat Multipla pickup truck conversion - the ugliest car in the world into the ugliest pickup truck
Can one take the ugliest car in the world and turn it into the ugliest pickup truck? Couple of months ago I had a dream that I chopped the roof of my abandoned Fiat Multipla. When I woke up, I decided to do exactly that.

In this video, we follow the journey of a neglected Alfa Romeo 75 that has been sitting in a barn for 18 years. I bought the car last year and brought it to yard. After some tinkering and troubleshooting, the moment of truth arrives I attempt to start the engine. With a few cranks and some patience, the Alfa Romeo 75 roars back to life after nearly two decades of silence.

Thieves tried to steal my Porsche Cayenne headlights - scratched everything around it.
I got (10, 3, 4, 10) now how can i understand what that means? Is there any link
10 = 0 Just google P0340 as shown in video… The description of the P0340 fault code will point you in to the direction of the problem. A defective camshaft position sensor can cause this fault. Defective wiring or corrosion on the connectors of the sensors can be responsible for this fault as well.
love sound 🙂
I just wanted to change the bulb.. this can be done without removing the third screw from the headlight as it loosens it up enough to get the cover off 😊
Lo spoiler anteriore chi lo produce, dove può essere acquistato. Grazie.
Ebay. Search for universal rubber lip spoiler.
Thank you friend!!!!!!!!!!
Хорошая работа. Жаль, что не поехала. Glory to Ukraine!
All these freakin review on these things and nobody ever tests out the PA!! Just the sound effects. WHY?? WHy do an incomplete review?
Because this is not a review video.
Thanks 😁
Kommer att bli lätt att byta 🎉

I have a 1988 Alfa Romeo Milano 2.5 busso V6 Automatic! Same color as yours. Greetings from St Louis MO USA! I have posted a couple videos of my car. It has a little over 200,000 miles! It runs, but it now needs a fuel pump. Nice videos of the Alfa's!
Hand in the way
It’s mega obvious after you remove the front panel.
Hallo geht das auch bei einem Opel Vectra B 2000 ?
Any news or udates for this car? Do you plan to restore the car?👍
Hey, yes! I got a little distracted with Multipla but now I will continue with the 75. I still have plans to revive it!
@@garagedilettante1128 Thank you 🙂
Love your passion for Alfas ❤
“The rain is raining”😂😂😂
Yes, I hate when weather is weathering!
@@garagedilettante1128 I can relate to relating, yes😂
What color is it?
Moswood green
@@garagedilettante1128 ❤️
Nice work!! Thank you!!
This is by far the wackiest mod I've ever seen in my life Great job man!!!
Thank you!
As italian I approve this. Roll bar with light bar? EV 4WD conversion? So many possibilities.
Thank you for the approval!
Now looks like a bath tub 😄 For a nice looking welding try to clean a surface to shiny fresh metal and you will see the magic. Definitely needs a big led bar on the roof and maybe some mud tires 😉
Yes, putting some time into cleaning the metal works like magic. Especially if it’s a thin sheet metal.
If possible is more ugly than original. Good job.
04:10 Fiat engines, TOP.
Whole car is literally fallining apart, but the engine 💪
@@garagedilettante1128 Speaking with a Fiat manager, years ago, I asked "why the Multipla?" and he said: "When we noticed it was so ugly it was too late to stop the project and it was less expensive to continue it and try to sell it like a weird car". Anyway everything that exits the standard taste remains in history. Multipla was used in a wonderfull Sci-Fi British movie (Children of man - 2006) and it works. It is a wonderful car inside, the only problem is when you park it, get out of the car and see it.
I have had two Multiplas in my life - great cars. Cheap to buy, cheap to run. Great workhorses! The other one I donated to Ukraine. They are using it to transfer soldiers to hospital. Got the feedback that it also puts smiles on their faces when they see what arrived to transport them!
@@garagedilettante1128 Large human slaughter in Ukraine. 😢
нахера говорить на английском языке, стесняешься русского?
maybe he wants to reach more people.. whats wrong with that!?
Why would I? I’m not from russia, I’m not russian.
@@garagedilettante1128Glory to Ukraine!
Please, restore this beuty it is sad watching it die in the field!
I would have started by going through on the spark/dizzy side..
Gerai Lietuva xD
Lietuva Lietuva :)
It's sad to see such neat cars that Alfa Romeo built, and they rust so badly. It would be recommended to remove the spark plugs and spray lubricant in the cylinders to make sure not moving dry rings on the cylinder walls.
You’re right, but don’t tell anyone 🤫, I won’t be using this engine
Spark plugs man u see 1 or 2 cylinder not work
You can sell this car to me? where do you live? I can take this ALfa 75 without problem!
It’s located in Lithuania. Still interested?
@@garagedilettante1128 yes , sure, i can write to you?
Yes, of course
@@garagedilettante1128 you can sent to me your mail?
dilettantemods@gmail.com
You should paint it Alfa red or Carabinieri dark blue. Alfa red is better.
I’m finished with this Alfetta, but I have another one and I might have some big plans for it!
@@garagedilettante1128 can't wait to see the new series. Anyway a light yellow Alfa is strange.
I agree, I don’t like this ivory color
@@garagedilettante1128 bad 70ies taste...
Should I put sealant on the window too or just on the car ?
Just the car. And it’s very important to lay glue with no interuptions. Especially the top part. It you leave any small spaces without the glue, the rain water will find the way into the car 100%

Maah prima avevi messo un po' più svitol nei cilindri
Trazione posteriore una goduria, in famiglia abbiamo avuto una 33 turbo diesel, quando accelerava ti sentivi schiacciato sul sedile!

Wish I'd watched this before I did mine! got 11 bolts out of the half shaft then rounded the last one! Love this, thanks.
I very much understand your pain about that last bolt!
Great video very easy too follow. What glue did you use ?
It’s a special glue for car glass. You can get it in any automotive shop. The brand doesn’t really make any real difference, much more important is laying technique.
Loved the videos! Very informative. Are you planning on selling the Alfetta?
Thank you! It is currently for sale. But Alfettas are slow sellers. Not expecting to find a buyer fast.
@@garagedilettante1128 Do you have a link to the advertisement? I might be interested.

My 2012 RVR (outlander in Canada) is rusting from the inside out. It lives in a garage, no salt on roads, very low mileage. They kept pushing off the repair until they could say it's no longer under warranty. They had a recall to spray the undercarriage for rush protection but say it's unrelated to the paint issue (!!??).
Are your fingers IN FRONT? Or behind?
In front. Making space for moving sunroof
Do you have the link to buy that hose replacement?
I bought it from Autodoc
You giant man !!! 😮 What happens???😮 I suppose you 2.10 meters .your car ALFA ROMEO very small for you !!! I am shoked .... 😮😮😮 .take for you one truck kenworth
