    I don´t know how many people in the world pay attention to these old alfas which are so underrated, well at least in Argentina. Thank you Neil to keep these machines in a good shape. still trying to find one to restore. greetings from Argentina

    Excellent work. The car is probably in better condition now than when it left the factory, certainly in terms of being prepared to face a British Winter,

      Just the rear end to sort next.

    Fantastic job Neil, nicely done. Saw a well taken care of 145 in Reading last week - good to see another one back in action!

    They may not be the most revered of Alfa’s, but I love ‘em, and they’re far more interesting (no disrespect to VW) than a Golf. Nicely done!

      It does drive nice. I will hopefully have it back next year to do the rear end.

    Hi, a question/recommendation. Is it actually Waxoil you use? If so I'd recommend trying bilt hamber or dinatrol products. They flow and work much better. Also bilt hamber Dynax UC is a completely clear product which I use all over the underside in addition to heavier products I even use it in places like the engine bay where it is almost invisible.

    • @ItaliaAutos
      @ItaliaAutos  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I used waxoil. Customer supplied it. I heat it up so its like water. I will be trying other stuff over the next fee restorations

    Nice job, looks like it will last another 20 odd years!
    Actually that’s my biggest concern with the 1990’s and 2000’s cars, the early electronics being repairable or replaceable. Hopefully there is a network of early tech gurus waiting to fix these…..?

      Lots. It takes days and days refurbishing parts.

  • @Isus666999
    @Isus666999 ปีที่แล้ว

    Had one of those. had to change the engine twice then sold it into parts. Since then I´m traumatised with the 2.0 litre 16v. So I bought me a 75 TS and later a 164 ts, with the proper Alfa TS Not this fiat crap of an engine :)

    • @ItaliaAutos
      @ItaliaAutos  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      With regular oil changes there solid engines.
