Now this is a huge stretch! 😮😢

Would have been good to see the vehicle

What? This is BS. The lubricant is not because the head and block are aluminum. That is a steel nut going onto a steel stud. The lube is for the purpose of consistent torque and thus, stretch in the stud. I actually don't know why Alfa says to retorque the head nuts. Do they loosen? If so, then use Schnorr ribbed safety washers, which will keep the nuts from backing out. If those are old studs in the block, then they are already work hardened through stretching and don't need to be stretched again. This procedure was invented before effective locknuts were developed. You could even use nyloc nuts, or safety wire the head nuts to prevent them from loosening.

Such a pity its Super Rhino stickers have been replaced by Super Roo versions. There’s no shame - actually some pride, probably - in being a unique version of the original.

I love the Fulvia. One of the best looking cars ever for me.

well well well this makes a change from the falcons

I cringe what his bill is 💵 when it’s all said and done😖 there goes his super

Love the falcons shown here and other videos. I have a special vehicle you might find interesting.

This is the one we been waiting for dave

Hi Dave, I am loving your videos. Thanks for all your effort in making the videos. Cheers

The XE is looking good! 👌 Just itching to see the owners first drive.

Top speed was 140 mph too. Not 140kph

It's not a XE Falcon ESP, It's a XE Fairmont Ghia ESP

That be an XT👍

Cool cars, that era, keep them alive..

😂

Love the Ferraris! I have an identical Fuego here in WA, been sitting for 12 years but was my daily for over 20!

Great job you do Dave,more power to you. Like your laid back but informative vids. Takes a bit of work no doubt to bring it all together. Cheers

I share the love of Fuegos! I was 11 when they came out and have never been the same since. The green 308 is lovely for a Ferrari, but it’s no Fuego 😉

Dave the effort you put in to your videos is very much appreciated. I hope the KZbin algorithm finds you and propels the channel forward even more. Your efforts should be rewarded.

Some car guys back in the day used to call them P38. They said they were only half a car. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Beautiful workmanship 👌

Something we should do

Out of control

Sounds tuff

Nice . Body swap

Nothing quite like the roar of a V8

I worked for a guy that use to race a tr7 in the targa Tasmania. He had a beautiful convertible Stag with same engine as his tr7. P76 crank commodore rods, pistons fill built weapon. The engine ended up a 5 litre. One of the fastest cars I’ve been in. But that stag was immaculate.

Alfa and Fiat and most Otter Manufakturen used erst german VEB Eisenhüttenstadt steel VW too

Why the stupid musuc?

That steel buck is amazing . That's going to be one very expensive metro van . Can't wait to see it finished in steel.

I love your outlaw Porsch and your next car looks awesome too!

Dave sent me!

I gather at the time of filming that the car was 41? years of age so it's only natural that parts will need replacing especially parts with rubber for they perish with age whether they've been used or not. These people restoring the car to it's former glory are taking a lot of TLC in the work they're performing and the car is in safe hands. I remember these when I was younger and I always preferred the red with gold snowflake wheels to any other colour. The last one made was silver with gold wheels and although alright it's just that, it's alright. But the red and gold is a real head turner. I have a Falcon that less than half the age of this car so it's not up to "Barn Find" status yet. Thank you for taking the trouble to show us all this much appreciated.

The car looks great , what about making a kit for an early Boxster. They are getting cheap and you can bolt some interesting Audi engines in them. Thanks Dom

"as you can see" Hmm ever film around Carlton area in the 1980s? 😉

I am in love with those seats. (Almost as much as you are with that beige Fairmont.)

Leo is living the dream of all time

For me Dave this has been the most enjoyable - and thought provoking - video you've produced to date. Listening to Vyvian tell his life story in the industry...and the hard times the industry has fallen on in Australia...really brings home how consecutive governments and multinational corporations since the 70's have been effectively abandoning our working youth for generations already - and will be long into the future it seems. As an Aussie car fan since that time I have a fair idea about what and how this has happened. But it's astonishing that most people I speak to about it are completely oblivious to the crisis. I've been strongly encouraging my sixteen year old son to get into this industry as an apprentice. And after witnessing Vyvian explain the passion he has for his incredible work - I'd love to see my son reap such rewards. Thanks Dave.

Keep going Dave. Love your channel. Thanks for the X Series videos especially. Povo spec XD owner here.

The 7* series range of landcruisers runs rings around any LR product. I went offroading with an LR owner . We both had 1995 vintages 4x4. Mine was a 75 series with a 1HZ 6cyl diesel n/a , his had a turbo 4 cyl. He couldnt keep up off or on road. I dont hate the series landrovers, they look cool and go ok offroad, but are not the best allrounder. I had that 75 series for 8 years. Replaced the windscreen washer pump and an alternator at 300000klms.

Why does the audio quit after 22:55?

HMG!!I know this guy back when he was here in florida United States!! The best mechanic of the all world!! But something more interesting is the most honest person !! Hi German !! Congratulations !! We happy for you!!

That Testarossa is mint. It's a pity that to drive 100klm means a full engine out to 'service' it. Nothing like a Toyota lol.

Great episode

❤😂😂😂 OK 👌 FUNNY and an understatement they're frustrating old things 😂😂😂❤ mmmm

Can tell he loves it. Covered it up well.

Nice job yes it costs but when you get something to this quality you’re over the moon

Beautiful work. Happy to say she’s mine. Thanks for the vid Dave👍

Dave, you have to keep us updated on his guy...amazing work...the patience needed is mind blowing...TY
