Apart from the impressive build of replacing everything you replaced (and upgraded!), I really enjoyed how you spent a lot of extra time making sure what you did was as protected from rust in the future. I imagine someone having to fix something on the car in a hundred years and being really thankful and impressed at what a thorough job you did.
Really great work with this. I was impressed with how unphased you were taking this work on and your attitude towards it. A really enjoyable series of videos and I'm looking forward to following your progress with this.
Great job, but sad to see that you did not respect the 2 seams in the rocker panel. The only cars that don't show them are usually full of bondo and indicate a poor repair job. If at all possible before final paint to put some groves in there it will look right.
I'm trying to get a hoarder to sell me his 1971 GTV 1750, it's badly rusted, interior is shot, but it is straight and all there. If I can get it I'll build a chassis rotisserie and rip out all the rusted steel. I'll put the hood, doors, trunk lid, and many other parts in a bath of Evapo-Rust, also treat the roof and many other areas with it. Evapo-Rust gets rid of all rust, even into the pits, leaving grey steel. Edd China has a recent video on putting a Land Rover frame in it prior to hot dip galvanizing, it works like magic and won't distort panels the way sand blasting can. It is non-toxic and can be reused many times.
Ciao, you made a big and good job, but... The smallest mistake is that you didn't respect the seams, the bigest mistake was to criticize the paint job of Alfa Romeo without knowing what you were talking about. Alfa Romeo never used the clear coat on this car in that period, it was a single component. Italiano ed alfista! 🇮🇹
It would have been better to sand blast that old surface rust in my opinion, then treat all of the blasted surfaces with phosphoric acid, then spray the parts that are not going to be welded with 2 stage epoxy primer.
The Wes Anderson intro! Cue, action!
Oh boy, you're such a professional ! Dang I wish I had your skills..... And I am jealous of your beautiful Alfa Romeo.... Man I wish I had one....
Came upon this channel as I am looking for a spider to purchase. Fantastic work! Subscribed
Awesome job!
Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.
I love the beginning. You are getting more artistic. Do you like Wes Anderson movies, by chance?
Good for you! You should be proud. Can't wait for the rest
Great job !

Was just rewatching the first episode of your alpha project - 'this car had very little rust that I could find' 😅
Great job man, so love your can-do attitude and not get daunted by taking on such a challenge.
Kudos and respect dude 😎
Very nice job! I am impressed, big time! Cheers from Sweden. 😊
Nice Job. I like the mini mags.

The 1750 was last made in 1970. How is this. 74 model year a 1750? Was the original 2000 replaced?
