I bought 2 Alfa Romeos?! Walkaround + Restoration Plans | VLOG #32 | EvoMalaysia.com

So... I've bought a 1995 Alfa Romeo 155 1.8 8V Manual and an 1975 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1.5L. I cannot believe it and I still don't believe that I did it! LOL.
Here's quick walk around on the condition of the car and my future plans with it.

Hi Thomas. Great i found this channel. I did own 155 & fiat 132 but rust has eaten too much skin, eventually sold off 🙆‍♂️that was nostalgia. Now im doin freelance car detailing... keeping the my interest in cars burning. Cheers bro ✌️🥂

[@ChrisWeevilGarage]

Bonjorno....Thomas... congratulations on your ever expanding garage....two lovely Bellas lovely

[@ThomasYap]

Thank you!

[@louist2233]

Congratulations Thomas, great finds!... I got bitten by the serpent since owning a 147 and now a happy owner of a 159 TBI sportwagon. As always, you'll find yourself looking back at the car after walking away from it ;)

[@ThomasYap]

Yeah, they just look so unique. And the drive is so charming!

[@trevizese]

Love the Alfasud! It is however a later sud, about 80-81 year model with the small bootlid and the plastic fantastic bumpers. 1975 would be with chrome bumpers and the 1200 cc engine only.

[@JohnsonLuvie123]

Omg Yes..Im excited to watch more videos on these Restoration..

[@ThomasYap]

Yep! More to come!

[@teslarage]

Can't wait for the restoration work! Keep us posted!

[@ThomasYap]

[@arvin9769]

[@ThomasYap]

Yep more to come!

[@dilipkumar-bf2vo]

Congrats again on the new catch Thomas. Awesome stuffs

[@ThomasYap]

[@derrickjeshurun]

Congratulations on getting 2 Alfa Romeos Thomas!! Both are looking beautiful. Can’t wait to see what’s next with these 2. 😀🥰👍🏼👍🏼

[@ThomasYap]

Yep! They will be visiting evo weekend drives soon!

[@vik2484]

Hi Thomas! U have an amazing project car and looking forward to the progress of refurbishment. I'm sure you will be doing a full strip-down with new paintwork and anti-rust. Please do share all the info on the parts supplier as well. Keep it original as much as possible. Looking forward to more videos soon. Many Thanks and best of luck!

[@ThomasYap]

Will keep the updates here!

[@jordank3141]

Great…. Can’t wait to follow this restoration process

[@ThomasYap]

Haha it’s gonna be fun!

[@johnmactavish5191]

Thomas, nothing wrong with buying 2 cars in one shot. A real car enthusiast will always understand this decision.

[@ThomasYap]

I guess so! Just my first time doing this. 😂

[@jaredhor9614]

Congrats Thomas

[@ThomasYap]

Cheers bro

[@aircommandslipperz]

that 155 reminds me of my old neighbour's son, many years back he had the 155 v6 and it looked so cool!

[@ThomasYap]

Wow it must have sounded great!

[@puva6028]

Congrats 👏 can't wait for the end product ❤️

[@ThomasYap]

Me too!

[@adriancheong6227]

Good luck on the restoration. I guess the previous owners are well to do people and the vehicles are always park in the shade. That makes the difference on the condition.

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks. And yes both seemed to have stayed indoors quite abit

[@jasonleong3865]

You the man Thomas!

[@ThomasYap]

I went mad for 2 hours lol

[@myFandBguy]

Thomas! Congrats and welcome to the Alfa community! My father and I are in the midst of converting ours to a 2.5 V6 12V! Let me know if you’re looking for any parts, we have loads haha!

[@ThomasYap]

Cheers man! Ah I do have some parts I'm looking for, can you msg me on instagram? or maybe drop me your instagram handle here. Mine is @thomasyapofficial. And it's such a cool thing that you and your father are working on the car together!

[@jessccy]

Congratulations, Thomas. The only worry I have is finding time and money to do the refurbish. My OCD self, will want to overlook at everything. If you don't like the color, yeah just change it. If you're not a "keep it stock" kind of guy, don't even bother. Do what you like. Regrets kills our brain cells everytime we think about it 😢

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks for the advice. I'm still on the fence. (maybe more green) Will see how I feel when I drive it for a while. :)

[@thibannaidu3317]

Ohsem choice. Looking forward to see the journey of restoration

[@ThomasYap]

Me too! It has begun!

[@limyoonghooi2517]

Nice alfa Thomas ❤️❤️

[@ignatiusrao4899]

WOWWW Broooo!!! First of all Hearty Congrats on the acquisition of the 2 Italian beauties! 🍻🥳🍻 Now finding a running, driving ALFASUD in that condition in this country is a miracle in itself! My humble opinion on the 155 is that there's priceless value in recoating the 195A back to it's former glory. You've turned "ALFAHOLIC" overnight bruh 🥳🥳!! CONGRATS bud! 🍻🍻🍻 Oh yea... I pick "Sonic the hedgehog (Knuckles)" over "The Wedge" 😜 😛

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks for your input. Yeah keeping same Color does help with retaining value. And yes me and Chris (especially h couldn’t believe that the sud was moving and in that condition

[@BaldwinChua]

10:30 How Genting hills gonna sound like soon 😁

[@ThomasYap]

Open port air filter, muffler upgrade. Twin spark and variable valve timing. Whaccccckkkkk

[@BaldwinChua]

Congratulations Thomas! Nice cars to own and I'm sure you will enjoy them. It remind me on my Alfas ( Alfa Romeo 33 Quadrifoglio Verde or aka Green Cloverleaf, Alfa 145 Ti and my last Alfa was 156 Sportwagan) . They were all fantastic cars. Looking forward to see you restore your both Italian beauty. Saluti !

[@ThomasYap]

Man the 33 looks sweet! And the Sportwagon wow! Yes the restoration has begun. Will document the process and upload from time to time.

[@hklau4640]

[@yewbtang1848]

Nevermind if you can't let us hear the sound of the Alfasud...when I was a little kid, my neighbour had one. I wondered why he liked to rev it hard....now I know! Till today, the distinctive sound of the car still rings in my ears!

[@ThomasYap]

Yeah it sounds amazing. Unfortunately I had the battery disconnected because there’s a ticking noise. Didn’t wanna drain the battery.

[@Zactroller]

damn youre crazy. hope you enjoy the process of rebuilding the car

[@ThomasYap]

Yep! I’m glad that I got those which are pretty good condition so it’s easier. Could have been harder if the condition was poor

You have done the best thing .buying 2 masterpieces. You could of gone the other way and wasted your money and bought German garbage

[@eugp4198]

Next time when you experience butt itchy, should just use Tiger Balm instead of buying cars.. 🤣.. joking.. Congratulations on your 2 lovely Italian ladies, hope to see more Alfa content.. 👍

[@ThomasYap]

If I knew earlier! 😂😂😂 cheers, gonna enjoy the journey!

[@cirrus1964]

My first AR was a 155 1.8. Same year. Bought it blind, as I was informed it was a 156. The first model I adored. So for some years I was stuck with it. I later bought my first 156, 3 156 further now, how the heck can someone buy this ugly models? The Sud was a disaster from the start, the 155 , is ok, but misses the line of a Mermaid.

[@audiro8087]

Poeh, why being so negative?! The AlfaSud is a very iconic, important and influential concept. Volkwagen admits that their first Golf wouldn''t probably not have been as good and succesful if there had been no AlfaSud in 1972, 2 years before the Golf was launched. As a kind of hommage, VW has put an Alfasud into their Museum collection at Autostadt. The Sud is a unique car that handles and drives very well, it's very spacious, practical, and economical. It has an amazingly good and beautiful design with loads of style and character. It has a rare kind of wholesomeness to it. Forget about the rust issues, those have nothing to do with the concept of the car itself but only with production circumstances. The 155 is by no means an ugly car, it has a very elegant and typical design with good proportions and clean, straight lines. But I agree with you on the timeless beauty of the Alfa 156.
