The Alfa FIGHTS BACK!

[@topgear931]

Really enjoying the Alfa restoration. I can’t describe how much I now want a GTV

[@JimmyThomasjtpro14]

Wow look at that hair in the wind lol

_''One of those jobs that i didn't plan to do. Well we're here, we may as well do it.''_ I have got that mentality also and it's transforms jobs that could have been done in 30 minutes in a 2 days time of tinkering, sanding, cleaning, painting and ordering loads of new bits that look tired. I drives my dad nuts everytime we tinker together....

Lovely Jubbly, takes me back 40 years, I used a form of that rust killer on my mini.

[@johnphaceas7434]

Nice paint fix on the bumper, I have a similar job ahead on my 156. I also did a similar lower grille mesh replacement on my '81 Alfetta GTV, except I used colorbond steel gutter guard mesh which comes in flat lengths and has much tighter/smaller spaced openings. Cost about AUD$15 from Bunnings and adds significant structural rigidity to the plastic chin spoiler(original central vent section was busted as badly as yours). My opinion only, but I think it's a bit more "automotive" than chicken wire from a roll, and is similar to what you will often see on DIY cooling vents added to JDM cars. It makes a good custom alternative to the boring black plastic grid in standard 156 grilles too, and easy to fit. Have done it on both 156s I've owned.

[@chrisskelhorn5727]

Nice work there Joe! And the loss of a bumper bolt is just something that happens! :-) Stay safe! :-)

[@urielp911]

Great video. Makes me want another one now though. One of the best cars I've had.

[@lukashodgson]

Faffy stuff like this is 👌 Loving these longer vids, Joe. If you keep hold of the broken grille pieces, it might be possible to 'weld' them back together, either with solvent weld adhesive and or using a soldering iron (soldering iron method will require some filler material, scrap ABS will do). Enjoy the fumes!

[@steverichmond3903]

two bolts and the bumper comes off really easy!

[@leonrds7802]

good renewal of gtv👍☘️🇮🇹

[@waynecoles4059]

As an Alfisti I can just about forgive the Rover wing mirrors but chicken wire for the grill is criminal but then you did paint the bumper in the dark with only a torch for light. You legend 😂

[@MillerCorner]

I've never been sent such mixed messages! 😂

[@waynecoles4059]

@@MillerCorner Well I have to admit to fixing my wing mirror directional switch with blue tac to stop it falling out after the plastic prongs snapped!

[@MillerCorner]

If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid! 😉

[@PaulinhoThompson]

What a great video to end the working week with, cheers Joe. Those side mirrors 😍 a lush choice on the colour, and a great result.

[@MillerCorner]

Cheers Paul 😁 Auto Express stickers looking slick 😉

@@MillerCorner thanks, they hide the scratches well lol.

[@RichieRouge206]

This was a great watch - love the grey mirrors btw! You need a bigger passenger wiper buddy lol. The paint finish on the mirrors is amazing fir a rattle can!!

Nice vid, love the little bits your doing to the car here and there, you make us laugh too, he he!

Thanks Ambz 😁

[@itsmephil2255]

Really enjoyed that Joe More like that please

[@TommyRogic18]

Joe, nerdy question. How come your GTV has a phase 2 grille on an 05 plate? Prefer the ph2 but thought it would have the big one with the offset number plate. Glad to see the car coming up well.

[@MillerCorner]

Hi Craig, my car is a V-reg, meaning 1999, correct for a Phase 2 😁

[@TommyRogic18]

Miller Corner oh how embarrassing! Sorry mate thought it might have been a Japanese import.

Good job ! 👍👍🍀🍀🍀👏👏

[@twingnol]

Have you clearcoated mirrors? Because they look glossy and you haven't show paintingu it with clear lack

[@MillerCorner]

Yep, brief shot of lacquer going on after the paint touch up 😁

[@kudyss02]

Looks good now but for these lower grills i would use some honeycomb mesh, it would look way better than this chicken fence mesh :) but so far i really enjoy this Alfa content! :)

[@RichieRouge206]

Those headlight don’t half look like Clio units - even though they aren’t 😂

[@sgdtv1368]

Thought you’d crashed it in the thumbnail

[@MillerCorner]

Haven't driven it enough to have crashed it haha!

[@haroldslovinski8785]

I thought the same thing lol

[@twingnol]

Wheels will have mirrors colour?

[@MS940]

That thin mesh is horrible. It's made for the garden use.

[@haroldslovinski8785]

Beautiful outside, crapy n cheap inside

[@MillerCorner]

I'd disagree! GTV interior is gorgeous, comfy and well made 😁
