Happy to see you back! It would be cool if you could post a schematic of your own designed wireing loom for the people who also want to move the fusebox
Great to see you back Jethro. I always enjoy watching your videos,because they are informative and well explained. Noticed you have a nice Lancia Fulvia in your garage. Looking forward to your next episode. Keep posting Jethro
Its so nice to have a channel like this. Its nice to see such -racticle advice. With the problems my gtj is giving me i was feeling kinda down and there isnt many good videos of things like this for 105s out there
Awesome to see you back. I love your shop, mine will be completed spring 2018. Both of my Alfas are in desperate need of work and a new spacious shop will make it so much easier. I'm torn between a 2 post like yours or four post lift, maybe both? I wish! Thanks again for your videos and sharing your knowledge.
Hi Jethro, I love these video's. I'm planning on rebuilding my Alfa 75 one day, so it's nice tot follow this process. When you're going to strip the body to bare metal, you might want to check out "soda blasting". Seems like a really neat way to strip paint and body filler. Also, if you're looking for parts, Alfaholics in the UK has some awesome stuff for 105 series Alfa Romeo's. Looking forward to the next episode!
Great video series! May I ask what Is the clear plastic sheeting taped onto the inside of the doors underneath the panels? Is that something you made? Thank you!
Hey Jethro! Love watching your videos, thanks for sharing all your knowledge. I have a question about my 1979 Alfa spider. Do you know what the right range for a compression test would be? Also I’m looking for a speedometer in kilometres, do you know where I could find one? I’m located in Vancouver, BC Canada. Thanks in advance for the help!
The important thing for a compression test is that the readings are consistent across all the cylinders, like no more than 10% difference. You wouldn't want any cylinders at less than 120 psi, and about 160 psi is a good number.
Jethro Bronner Very cool! I have a couple of Seikos myself.. I find cars and watches go well together. May I ask is the Spider and the Fulvia yours? Will you do videos on those as well?
Would you not save the old loom to use as a pattern for the new one? Are you going to mock-up a new loom on a piece of plywood? Jay Leno's technician did a job as such with his lotus elan.
The new loom is going to be very different from the old one, so it’s not much use as a pattern. I’ll make up the new loom as I go along as I’m not entirely sure what the finished electrical system will be just yet.
@@JethroBronner Whilst I hear what you are saying, that doesn't change the distances between the parts you are going to keep. You are now going to have to measure those distances off the car, and ideally make a mock up that you can test fit to check routing, length, and fitment. Sorry, not trying to put you down, just offering advice coming from having made bad decisions in the past. Best of luck. :)
I don't know about you , but if I were you, i would strip the shielding from the wire. and take to get the recycle ♻ it so you get some of your money back.
I knew a Italian mechanic in Sydney who had about 50 of these Alfa all through out his yard at home. Man he had a love for them like you I suppose
These old Alfas are starting to grow on me. I am digging the timeless styling.
This is great pal. As always, nobody has documented this type of disassembly and your pace and level of detail is what’s needed. Keep plowing ahead ✊🏼
So glad i found this channel, impressed with your skills. Love these 'ol Alfas. Subscribed!

I can't believe this is 5 years old now . . . Baby-face!
Great to see you back into it Jethro. Looking forward to more regular updates.

JB-thanks for posting. I'd missed these as I have two GTVs; one needing a minor refresh and one needing everything

Memories....we welded together a steering-wheel puller to get the wheel off my Spider, which was sitting for 7 years... ;)
Martin Smarda Yeah they can get crazy tight. I’m going to make a custom puller to get this off.
Want some pictures how we did mine? On the other hand...this sounds almost insulting given all the stuff you´re making yourself ;)
Good to see you back at it. Keep at it, hard work will pay off :)
Yes, great to see that you are back!
Great to watch. .I'm at the same point with my super. Big fan. .
Good to see you back on it. Don't know how you stand wearing a wristwatch when wrenching though. Drives me nuts whenever I've done it. Keep posting!
Hell yes a video finally 😂😂 great video man! 😀
Love the video! See you in 3 months ;)
Great video series! May I ask what Is the clear plastic sheeting taped onto the inside of the doors underneath the panels? Is that something you made? Thank you!
Oh it's just some plastic sheeting I stuck to the door cards to keep moisture off of them.

nice video. watch all videos. keep doin it that way. like it :)
Welcome back
Amazing channel! Thank you for the inspiring content! I wish I could do the same! Love the Alfa! Btw is that an skx seiko on your wrist??
Vassilis Petropoulos Well spotted. Yeah my trusty SKX007 is my everyday watch. I also have a Turtle. I love Seiko, it’s a great brand.
Jethro Bronner Very cool! I have a couple of Seikos myself.. I find cars and watches go well together. May I ask is the Spider and the Fulvia yours? Will you do videos on those as well?
Do a video on the Nice white fulvia in your garage
Is that white car a fulvia? It would be nice see video about it!
samu lankila Yeah it’s a 69 Rally S. It’s my brother’s car. It’s just living in my workshop for a while, I’m not really working on it.
Damn your family is full on old italian car owners club =D Cool!

where in northern europe did you visit? nice videos
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands all in the winter.
What color blue is that
Nice Car ! Make it for real and Drive it.
If you're making your own loom, how come you threw away the old one? I would have kept it to use as a template. Looking good otherwise! :)
I'll be making a lot of changes to the electrical system on that car, so the old one isn't really good as a template.
