3D printing is brilliant. It is turning classic car preservation on its head. If money is no object, go ahead and have your parts machined out of solid aluminium billet or made in carbon fibre in an autoclave, but this is the affordable solution for most of us. Love it. EDIT: That green is wild! No doubt you'll use black for the real one but I imagine that one lit round outside by LED panels like something from a sci fi movie 😆

That’s very, very clever. Maybe you could print entire dashs from a good, straight example. One thing I don’t understand, though, is fitting inoperative / dummy parts. If you’re going to fit the radio, why not wire it in? It’s hardly difficult; power, earth, the aerial and a single speaker.

The restoration of the 105 is progressing well and I can certainly empathise with the pesky door adjustments - especially when performing the adjustment on a newly painted car. To assist with the door closure recommend a light rub of talcum powder on the new door seals. From my end, the engine sounds somewhat 'tappety' - so recommend that you verify the tappet clearances as soon as practicable. As for engine 'grounding', the problem usually lies with the open weave ground strap that is attached from the engine (starter motor side) to the chassis - which from past experience is often overlooked. Recommend that you check the condition of the open weave cable and the connections, as it's proper fitment is critical. I have witnessed situtations where the said cable was damaged/disconnected or all together missing - which resulted in the accelerator cable doubling as the earth wire - which needless to say is undesirable and results in an accelerator cable which unexpectedly (and annoyingly) is very hot to the touch.

Great that you will use the steel wheels and Stainless Steel hubcaps. The steel wheels are made either by Firsat or Fergat, both companies supplied steel wheels to most Alfas , Fiats and even Lancias. Fun fact , the Alfa Romeo MIlano badge is made either by Bomisa or Bellu

Based on my experience I`d keep with the Pirelli Centuratos. We have a 101 Spider and three 105`s (`65 Giulia Ti, `70 GTJ, & `74 2000GTV) and have tried several alternatives - all cheaper in New Zealand but those Pirelli tyres ride better and quieter, and handle more predictably on standard suspension settings than the alternatives. We buy from Longstone Tyres in UK.

Just catching up on this video now, indeed they are the one to collect. Their values are on the rise, following on from the coupes. I have my 1300 TI insured with Shannon’s and they recently increased its insured value up from $12K to $70K without hesitation. While mine wouldn’t actually fetch that much if I were to sell it, it’s certainly worth more than the $6.5K I paid for it about 8 years ago.

I must admit I don’t have an issue in the Super being used as you are, but i must admit I am in the not leaving it looking like it is camp. The stripe down the side doesn’t do anything for the car, and as for the louvred in the bonnet, what was the person thinking. I too have a red Giulia, and while mine was originally a 1300 Ti, a PO turned it largely into a Giulia Super, with the early grill, all the correct stainless steel trims and a 1600. Giulia’s are sure cool. I used to daily my ‘69 1750 GTV for about 10 years, had a lot of fun with that car.

I get it now, as I was just watching the first video of when you got it. 👍😁. i have actually owned 3 Giulia’s over the years, my correct one came over from Adelaide some years ago. My 2nd Giulia was a complete rusted out car but is now virtually completely rebuilt by my brother and us being turned into a track/classic rally car. I also used to own a 2L Berlina which I also ran as a daily driver for many years. All good fun. One day I will get my Giulia on the road but for the time being it sits under covers in my lockup garage, along with my ‘69 Fiat AC 124 sport that I have owned for the past 44 years !! Some years ago I made a video of my Giulia and put it on my youtube channel (under my name). It’s basically a very sound car with some usual rust, but does require a full suspension rebuild (i have most of the parts needed from Alfaholics), etc etc. Need time, money and space to work on it.

Very much appreciate your well used Giulia Super - as it's clearly still providing a sterling service. In my youth, Alfa coupes and spiders were all the rage, whilst Alfa sedans were very much 'unloved' and normally used as a source of replacement parts for the sportier models. It's no longer the case, as both Giulia and Berlinas, are keenly sought after with prices to match. I certainly regret the 'disposal' of my Berlina 2000 Auto.

Based on my experience in Victoria, if a non-laminated windscreen was original equipment when the car was new then it can be installed. The aforesaid only applies to restored cars - not modified cars. However there is no doubt that a laminated version is safer. For the new windscreeen, recommend you check its shape with the old screen as I have encountered some new windscreens that were poorly manufactured and posed a problem when fitted - i.e. the central bottom edge of the screen tended to jut out of the sealing strip.
