This is really starting to come together now - the car is looking gorgeous! Inspiration for me to overhaul my '66 GT Veloce (if/when I finish rebuilding the 1750 coupe...). Thanks for these videos too - the tips and reminders are always food for thought. Nick
We seem to be in step on both of our projects for the Giulia Sprint GT. Do you have more detailed instruction on how the chrome goes in? Steps starting with which chrome piece does in first, etc? I hope to have my engine fired up next week and will have that video up on our channel as well.
Thanks for sharing that, great news, cant wait to see the video. Chrome trim needs a bunch of patience....we started with the top roof piece internally followed by the rear glass internal strip. Then we did the external roof section and lower rear exterior piece that mate into the rubber seal.. next we did the doorframe internal b pillar upright.and finished off with the short b pilar pieces...that can be be mind bending .We pop riveted instead of using the old screws..pulls in tight , looks neat and doesn't rust.

@@AlfaAddicts Did you create any videos on the trim install?
No, only generically covered in an overall update
When you put the rear main seal in, do you use a little lithium grease to help it go in a little easier?
Use some assembly lube it helps a lot. We also used the old seal to be the interface against it as we tapped it home with a nylon hammer.
Apreciate the detailed update. Noting the spin on filter, are you installing a 'later model' 1600 Junior engine?
Yes the original motor was seized and US...so we bought a slightly later model engine with good compression
@@AlfaAddicts ...you don't happen to want to part with the old head, by any chance do you? 😉
What year is the car ??
1967
