I was surprised by the black headlight grills, I thought it would be too dark, but they look great… I painted the inside of my grill black as well, but I may do the headlights now too.
cool
Thanks for posting this. I see some parts needed for my 77 Alfa's Perspex headlight lenses; the rubber grommets that hold the lense more securely for instance. Did you have to cut the trim rings? I ordered those and they are too big and will require cutting. If you cut them, what did you use? Thanks again.
hi, yes, you have to cut, please check the link in description and you will find info
Is there a conversion kit for series 4 to series 2
@@da1215 no, different body styles
hi there from NZ were did u purchase the bumper from thanks gavin.
@@gavinhoult4200 classicalfa.com
I got lucky, my 74 had the small bumperettes in the front, then a big truck backed up into me and smashed the front of the car. So when I took it to the repair place, they said they could not order the same front bumper but they had the bumper without the two protruding ugly things sticking out so they put that on. Unfortunately I still have the back bumper looking that way but at least it is steel except for the two protrusions which are black. But nobody notices that. everything else I have because it's a 74 except the radio which I do not think is necessary. My problem now is the Spica pump is failing and you can't find anybody to work on those so I will have to swap it out for carbs
From wer do u get the turn signals...
ebay, it's not original, china copy, price - 20 EUR
I did my 1981 280e the same when I got her.. shes inca red and with the satin black grill and lights plus I smoked the tail and indicators I think she looks great .check her out on my videos

Nice Car. I have the 1600 Spider fron 1978. Which colour has your Spider? 514 or 501?
I have seen your other Video and you told is the 501 colour. Not original, but I love it by clowdy sky.
@@jurgenw.8472 yes, 501 is the color
Looks like a ‘65 large window bug. Nice work!
Marchal are so lovely 😻😻😻
its so cool bro
This car is dead, sorry, only good for parts.
Dead only in bad hands, if you have both left hands, it's hard to find any good classic :D
@@VintageCustomCars the criteria for good hands: option a) you have €10K to let someone restore, option b) you have a garage, welding machine, 10 year knowledge of restoration techniques and €6K for materials and parts, and free time of course 😁
THIS IS great. I plan to do all of your conversions. i will order the radio from you if i guy the GEN 2 i am looking at. many thanks.
beautiful car...brings back fond memories
Great job! I'm going to do all of you recommendations.
I have a 90 so I'm definitely doing all your mods... Very nice
Hi my name is hosein from iran I have .a question about suspension systems on this car Is that right that this car had height-adjustable suspension system like cars like citroen xantia,XM,xantia activa,or not? Thanks if someone here see the comment and help me
@@Hosein617 No, it’s mechanical, not air suspension :)
Excuse of asking the question again The car has height adjustable suspension But it works mechanically,right? And also is that right that Citroen mehari(the pickup model of citroen Dyane)and also dyane use disc brakes for four wheels and LHM oil ?
What do you thynk about Borani wheels?
CALI friends 😎
Do you bring your car book ?
Will come this week to the meeting at Castillo, what time? Thursday 19:00 ?
Nice! Thanks for writing a unique title for the short video.
Thanks for the vid. I have a question for you and your followers. My soft top roof won't open all the way. It stops at about 3/4 open and sticks up above the body, it won't collapse fully into the body. Do you have any tips or advice on how to fix? Is there any specific part of the mechanism I need to look at? Many thanks
Colombia 🇨🇴💪😎
Communism at it's best 😂 it was a bad copy of italian Fiat
Nice original euro version, I wish they hadn't put those ugly bumpers and headlights on our US model.
Nice Renault 4, I used to drive one in Europe.
Back in Colombia?
Yes :)
I like your short videos, but I wish they had different titles besides "Do you like classic cars?" Maybe put make, model and year instead, or something?
🇨🇴😎😎👍
Do you have a webpage?

The Alfa soft top is made out of a marine style canvas duck cloth which is natural fiber based and as such, it will not fit correctly the first time. With effort, you get it on and you must get the roof completely wet and let it dry in the sun, a couple time. Eventually it will max out and stretch and stay at that length/size literally forever or until it wears out. It takes time and patience. What you DONT want to do is put a new or recent top that has collected moisture, even early evening dew, away for the night with the top down, it will recede over night and be even more difficult to restretch. SO, remember, take the time when you first get your top, stretch it correctly and it will last a lifetime and always fit perfectly 👍
Thank you for your remarks!
Beautiful colour and the wheels go so well together
Thank you!
I appreciate all the hard work you did to restore your Alfa Spider. I own the twin to your car. A brown 1980 S2 Spider. I also own other Spiders, S1, S2's, S3 and S4's. These are very special cars!
Very elegant upgrades. My compliments on your Alfa.
Beautiful color.
How do you raise
Curious, did instructions come with top? I bought mine on eBay… and instructions were much less involved and did reference loosening frame and other items i saw. Needless to say mine did not fit well when closed.. ie window fit is poor, ok, but not perfect
Instructions did not come with soft top, also, every case is unique, this is why this job sometimes takes lots of time.
I need to disagree with your original premise that a period correct custom would reflect the manufacture date. I have built several period correct customs based on the era they would gave been customized. In the fifties people were customizing cars from the 30's and 40's. Not to many people were rich enough to go buy a brand new car and start cutting it up. The last car I built was a 53 chevy as it would have been raced in the mid 60's. Using only parts that would've been available in the day. I really like what you did, but that is only your way of customizing. Not the definitive way if customizing. Be well, and keep wrenching. You'll get it right one day.
Thanks for your opinion and good luck in your future projects
Knowledge I've come to realize lately, is crucial to solving problems. Learn all you can. Thank you for the can do it encouragement.
Thanks
The interior modifications are underrated..!!
Why? That negates the entire value of the system , how you go trough a field with that? And will not improve cornering .
Thank you for your comment, car culture have mane different views and ideas, this is why people do experiments. I personally think that cars have to be lowered and have a stance look, over wise they would be all the same look.
Your videos are always very informative but this does nothing to help. It’s just the installation book. I would have enjoyed a how to video to help like Cheftush’s video. (he does leave out some intricate parts however). Here are some tips that you should include: * If you cut the old top off you can access the hardware from the outside. It makes it much easier to reach. * There are 22 5mm nuts that need to be removed. It pays to spray some penetrating oil or even WD40 on them at least 12 hours before you begin. Let it soak in so you don’t break the bolt stems. They can be rusted. * The channel is often rusted so be prepared to replace it along with a new rubber seal. Order both ahead of time so you don’t set time aside to do the job, but then get stuck. * Make sure you remove ALL glue from the old top left on the rails and in the header pocket. Refinish with black satin paint if needed. * Leave all of the bolts loose as described in the rear until everything is done. * Make sure the lip of the new top meets the window channel evenly. Too many people leave it loose on their first try (like me). Eyeball it before you glue it in place. * Get a second set of hands to help you place the rubber channel seal in place. A new one will be very pliable and can tear VERY easily. Ask me how I know...lol * Use a quality rivet gun and stainless steel rivets to avoid any rust. * Don’t rush. This is NOT a tough job, but it does require your attention to detail.
Thank you for your remarks
Hello, I don't have an Alfa Romeo, but I do have a Mercedes 190e 2.3-16. Maybe someday I will get an Italian car. I recently subscribed to your channel, I am enjoying it. I better get out and work on the car. Cheers from Canada, Rob.
