Im wondering how the dash piece under the steering wheel with the little shelf type piece comes out?

Why do they have to make the pity ass little things like thermostats and temperature sensor so damn hard to get to it seems like the things that always go bad or the worst to get to. It’s crazy.

A different challenge on AWD/4WD units.

What happened to your white spider?

What’s the torque spec on the diff cover?

It doesn't look like you replaced the input shaft seal for the diff. I bet that thing leaking is the main reason that the entire diff housing was covered in black goo. Did you replace that seal?

Nice work

It's really easier to just pop the belt off and take the alternator out, no jack's required

Amazing work and wonderful inspiration to convert my GTV6 dash to a more Alfaristic dash. Thank you.

Awesome Job... looks great! Thanks for the video (do more videos please).

Love it.

Many thanks for creating this video! Thinking about replacing my broken dashboard with a new one and this is exactly the guide i needed for it to went smooth! 👍

My suv shout down I have replaced every electric part that my read said still shouting down

Thanks for the info. That being said, you left out important information. The screws for the thermostat must be torqued at a certain pound, which I believe is 11 pounds of torque. When taking on these jobs, you must be experienced, or you will destroy your vehicle.

What year is this ?

where did you get those mats?

​ @Sloppy Perfectionist many thanks for the video. Do you remember where you got the 'expensive' poly bushings for the upper rear drop links that you couldn't press on? I have the same problem. Thank you!

I know you haven’t uploaded in a while but I just wanted to say thanks for giving me the confidence and procedure on how to replace my rear suspension

Did you drain the coolant before doing it?

Need more videos man. Thanks for torque specs too

Profesional job

Good video thanks. Now I know for certain I won’t attempt this job. Too much for this old guy. 😆

Wow! Just WOW.

That looks incredible. I have a '95 Z32 NA and you've given me inspiration!

I have a ‘73 with a tore up dash and I found a S2 dash for a great price in great shape, so my project is a little different than yours because I’m swapping from S1 to S2 dashes and trying to swap the S1 gauges into the S2 dash. There looks to be a slight incompatibility with where the round S1 auxiliary gauges need to go but I think I can fab up with a solution easy enough. My biggest worry with my particular swap has to do with the hoses. Did you have any problems swapping the heater and defroster hoses between the S1 and S2 dashboards?

Great video! It’s nice to see the details of where to look for the hardware that actually holds the dash in place rather than fumbling around trying to find all of the attachment points. Great tip on using the 24mm socket for the wing nuts. Also, great tip on making new drain tube hoses - I didn’t know you could custom form them like that.

Thank you so much for this video I just got this antique this year and had the problem with the thermostat and seeing those videos about several hours of work really made a difference when you put this video out. You save me some time my friend thank you so much

Thank you so much for doing this video. I've wanted to remove my dash for some repairs but was afraid. I will definitely use your video as I attempt remove the dash. Thanks again!!!

Looks beautiful!

thanks! my '87 veloce thanks you! BTW, can you get away with leaving the shroud in place by just turning the fan blades?

Do you put the gasket on the thermostat itself and then put it back on or do you put it on the vehicle part of the thermostat

Will be taking mine to get done somewhere 😂 looks like some hard work

Dalhe my friend Sloppy Perfectionist good morning, ball show great friend very top your work of excellent quality you have a lot of skills very beautiful table a pity that resin here in Brazil is very expensive - a big hug - TMJ on the walk count on me here from Rio de Janeiro / Brazil - another successful subscriber

great project! I have a 1987 alfa spider veloce that I need to reinstall the binnacle. It's held in by 4 screws from the front. I can't recall if I can just fit it back in behind the steering wheel or do I need to remove/drop the steering column. Anyone have any suggestions? Tnx

Ambitious project - great rescue! I have just got an '82 Spider 2000 - fortunately only minor blemishes. Thanks for the very informative video.

Is it me, or is the manifold an atrocious design?

The horn buttons have white plastic grommets that snap-in.

Thanks so much man. Although my plenum was already polished I had to go in and touch it up. However from this I’ve noticed on the top down in those middle hard to reach places it starts to fade so maybe using some protection around there or some sort of high heat coating will allow it to stay great for longer. I’m super happy with how mine turned out.

Does have a dream plug it's on the radiator

Very nice video. I have a 1972 so no need to change style but this provides some confidence and suggestions like the drain hose replacement or fixing cracks etc.

Hey what’s that hand tool you used for the tight middle areas

How do you turn on the headlights

Fantastic job! Thank you for the lesson. I will do mine over this winter.

A very informative and thoughtful restoration video filled with helpful tips and detailed instructions! This will be the next project on my 1987 Spider..

nice job

Best video

I'm looking at this video again and I notice at 13:07 you are inserting the rear trailing arm front poly bushings. The part I don't see listed on the various websites is the inner poly washer you are inserting before the trailing arm is pushed up into it's space. Did that come with the poly bushings for the trailing arm?

Thanks for sharing this! I am restoring a teak wood steering wheel from a 65 Corvette. It was not any where near as bad as yours but I learned some important things from your video.

My friend...... You are an artist!!!!

just awesome,great work there sir
