FOR THE ROAD EPISODE 3: Everything that's wrong with my Alfa Romeo.
I have a look at everything that's gone wrong on my 1964 Giulia Sprint GT since it was rebuilt in 2013/2014. From bodywork to fuel system issues to mechanical trouble, this is what needs fixing on the "Africa Car".
Music: A-Gon Brood.

Loved it Jethro. A really honest description of a car that looks mint 20 meters away! This translates the reality of a well worn classic car. I'll do the same kind of video of my Alfa one of thiese days.... It's in kind of similar condition!

Love this project and the fact you and this car have already been through so much together. Will be watching. And of course worrying about that Alfa itch I've seemed to have picked up....

Yeah - and it's getting worse by the day. I just saw something called a Junior GT. Holy Moses what a gem. I used to think I wanted a spider but I think I'd take that little beastie first.

I just gave a look at your other videos and it's just awesome! I'm 24 and I'm also restoring my 1970 GT1300Junior (also the model with the open hood but with the newer interiori/2nd generation). Would be great to see how your project will proceed. I will start to rebuild the car soon. Greetings from Switzeland

Jethro, thanks so much for sharing. Your car gave me the motivation to restore my 1986 Alfa75 to such a state that it will now feature at the Nairobi Concours d Elegance on 24th September 2017. Am grateful to E.B. Spares Ltd of UK for the support av gotten 4m them over the years. Keep it up and may others also benefit from the same way I have.

Good luck for the Concours! I attended in 2015. I wish I was going this year. I love Nairobi and I can't wait to go back. Thanks for watching!

A little more than 10 years ago I had, together with friends, a 1969 Berlina project car. And other friends had other Alfas of the same vintage during those days. Some still do. I miss those 60's Alfas. I subscribed to your channel. Who knows, I may get another 60's Alfa after seeing your videos.

TheCDANet Thanks for the support man 👍 I hope my videos are useful to the Classic Alfa Romeo community online. Comments like this are why I decided to start making videos.

Never drive a classic car in Denmark during winter. We spray tons of salt on the roads each time there is a chance of sub zero temperatures. Corrosion of are very often the reason for cars ending up in the scrap yard. Almost impossible to stop when first started.

That Jag Mark X in the background at the beginning of the video is really cool. Awesome videos Jethro - your channel really isn't popular enough when you've got this kind of production quality.

Strike86 thank you! I don't upload very much so I'm not expecting much channel growth. However my new workshop is almost done and I will be putting out regular videos from next week.

I would definitely, if I may suggest, get rid of: foglights, bumper, the trophy badges, the metal number plate (I'd put a sticker on the bonnet instead, 1940s race car style), the side indicators and I would swap the frontal indicators for the clear all-white ones and I would give the co-driver a side mirror. Cheers! Great car!

Hi, Jethro. Great vids. I own a '73 Giulia 2000 GTV and can commiserate with the driver's side hinge issues. I've ordered the upgraded ones from Alfaholics and hope they last.

Antonio Talarico I'm restoring my 1970 GT1300 Junior (scalino). I never had the chance to drive a 2000 GTV. Have you ever had the chance to compare the two models? 1300 vs 2000? My father owns a 1750 Spider Duetto from 1968 and its engine is just great. I really hope that the 1300 gets at least somehow close to it.

Great video. Isnt fuel in SA "AFRICAN?" What did u mean? Consider a proper hydro blast to get to the actual metal then repaint. That way you wont have residues of previous paint evidenced. Hydroblast will also help to identify ALL rust spots. Great video!! Your trip was such an inspiration!! Would have loved to host you in Kenya!!!

This is a super beautiful car even with all the little dings! I love the color you chose to paint it! How much did the car cost you? How much would it be to get one in drivable condition? I'm looking for a classic car to restore and old Alfas and Porsches are my favorite!

@JethroBronner 6 жыл бұрын

Driver's Side Thanks! I paid very little for this, about $2700 back in 2012. I put a fair amount of money into it to get it running. They are getting pretty expensive now, especially the Step-nose cars. But they are a lot cheaper to rebuild than Porsches!

Unpopular opinion:I would rather have it drive and rust than let it sit stripped for years . They will never be perfect ,so might aswell enjoy these cars as long as they run.

@JethroBronner 4 жыл бұрын

Petar Perovic it’s probably a good approach, in retrospect.
