Next video. I cant understand shit. That British English accent sucks ass.

Lovely, I've also just picked one up. 3L Busso. No heater blower, seats won't move . But , hey ho ... it's fantastic.

Are you smitten yet??? ❤❤❤

A/C is often an issue with this era of Alfas. It's never "just a re-gas". I've had to repair/replace pipework on my 156 GTA three times, and had to do substantial work on the AC of both my prior 156s. Also, compressors for the 3.0 and 3.2 Bussos can be hard to source, so keep your eyes open and grab one if you see one. I now have a spare sitting at home for the GTA just in case. Be warned even if you get the AC working properly it will be just passable at best. My GTA is black on black, and the first summer I owned it, A/C was dead and my home town (Perth, Western Australia) had a record run of +40C days. I've lived here all my life, and we never had AC growing up at home or in any of our cars, but I seriously thought I was going to pass out at times. So getting it fixed was a priority before the next summer came along. As weak as it is compared with the AC in a Toyota, it does just enough to make summer driving comfortable. At the same time, I ripped out the defunct AC in my '81 Alfetta GTV - despite being a real glass house, having cloth seats instead of a black leather interior and a huge factory sunroof makes it bearable when the temp is up. Plus, the twin carb 2.0L is so much more responsive without it. That's just not an issue with the 3.2.

Is that Jayemm's motor?

Very elegant, nice car

😍😍 Nice choice! What a Beautiful interior and fantastic engine, I can't wait to see more

Love them, bit of an ugly duckling but they are a relaxed drive. Might see you about if you’re in Essex

Knowing Phil you have got a decent motor there. Those are the sport alloys

I sold the car to Phil, did he tell you the full provinence?

Make sure the heater matrix has been done. Front upper arms and ARB links. Good alignment. Upgrade pads to Ferodo DS2500. Garage21 in Yorkshire are the uk experts on 166. I’ve got 2 of them, both facelifts.

What should I do with my new Alfa Romeo 166?

Hey hope I’m not too late! Have you managed to get rid of it? Trying so hard to find some bits for my hgt!

Add another 1k to your budget and just get the gtv busso. Forget the rest.

My seats are heated, check the front of the seat. 2011 GTS.

Wherever you see CH replace it with a K. Meanwhile FIAT Coupe Turbos are still good value

Get in touch with Italia Autos(another good channel), they have quite a few cars through their doors and maybe could do a part ex on the HGT.

Balls to the budget, but a Maserati! What could go wrong? 😂 I’ve always thought the Brera was an odd looking car. To my eyes the GT is a more resolved design. I think a 3.2 GTV could be a good call.

Alfa..haha its gonna spend more time broken at your driveway then being driven

Why can't you spend money on punto 😢

I expect that sintetic oil will keap variator in good shape much more longer.

Doesn’t show the secret lmao

What's the secret then?

Same thing happened to my yellow Punto HGT. Rust killed it. Owned it for 13 years and put 116K on it. Engine was as strong as an ox at almost 159K. Pity, it was a great car ☹️

if i didnt have a seicento and cinquecento i would take this on.

Wish I could help you but I'm not from UK. I am replacing the whole floor on my old project car currently

It was one of the very few channels with Punto hgt content.. very sad, this model deserve more intrest

I had my Punto for 12 years, rust also killed it

If you look for alternate Punto project vehicle, you might check out Ford Fiesta Mk6 which is 2004-2008, it’s proper fun small car that feels go kart likes.

It’s rusty, but I rather have binned the Porsche as these are just hens teeth… again, whatever happens don’t scrap it if you can…

Let me guess, found more rust, structurally unsafe, scrapped.

Then i scrapped it 👌

Would you spend £3k on rust repairs or would you move on to something else? If you fancy taking the Punto on get in touch!

Vendimi lo scarico se la butti via

Sell it to Italia Autos and let's see this little rocket restored. Or restore it by yourself, but DON'T SCRAP it. Just don't do it.

Life is too short for these nails.

Jeez 🙈 thats quite the repair job 😢
