Great; love the GTV V6,good to see it mechanically sorted. Looking forward to seeing the body sorted now. Great colour, and the teledials really set it off. A GTV must have teledials in my book...
At the same time 2 of my sons had Puntos, one this model and on of the latest type. Both very pretty cars. I am not getting any younger so let us hope you sort this out before I die !
"Noughties chavvie elements" hilarious 😂😂😂Excellent work on the GTV, I would definitely have saved the green car its a very dooable project, plus you have lots of trick looking parts on the red wreck. Can't wait to see how the green car cleans up. One things for sure I'd never drive it again in a UK winter. GLWTO
Hi @@ItaliaAutos . my spider worked great for 3 days and cut out while reversing. starter is turning but no power is going to the spark plugs. You mentioned on the video that you fixed a faulty relay to get it started. would you have a different video about this? Great series by the way.
Great video by a mechanical point of view. But by an economical point of view for the customer is it worth while ? Is the final value of the car worth the total cost of repairs including labour ? I see it as a total expense because in the end the owner will not sell the car and recoup the money. Why did you not give a figure at the end of value of the car and expenses sustained ?
Keep them running. Neil is there a way I can get open the bonnet on my 159 opens on catch but the lever at the grille isn't releasing it not wanting to cause any unnecessary damage cheers
These cars go defunct not because of italian engineering,but because of the lack of regulation in the anglo world against mechanics , that allows them to do rip people off continually ...... poor bastard probably had to abandon his car...
Well worth saving! My GTV was within a hair's breath of being sent to the scrap yard, but just couldn't let it die. Very rare now!
yeah i was very happy to of saved it.

That just sounds amazing
it is awesome
What exhaust has it got?
@@paulbrowne5049 sounds like a wizard exhaust sold by autolusso
super mini series neil
Cheers. Thanks for watching.
Just bought some turbine wheels for my Giulietta off a bloke in Winscombe, he had 2 156 GTAs and a 147 Ducati corse in his garage, love these old V6s
Abd now your channel is blessed... cheers
Blimey what a job but then again, what a noise at the end 👍👍
Thanks for watching
The green one is definitely a saver! Great project indeed
Yes! Thank you!

Nice to see it in one video! Great respect for your knowledge too!
yeah thought a lot of newer subscribers might like to see it all in 1 video.
Nice job Neil
In your opinion,will someone inside the Eu be able to maintain a gtv 3.0 or 3.2,are the parts easy to find,etc.(granted money's no problem)?Thanks.
I wish you could do 116 series V6 someday. Great videos anyhow.

thanks for watching. im hoping to do the body work further down the line.
@@ItaliaAutos What year is this car ?
@@sm70911 1998
Brilliant video. I'm just starting to clean up a 1996 spider. Great tips in your video of what to look out for
Glad I could help

Nice work mate
Thanks 👍
Buen trabajo amigo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
It sounds awesome!
Great videos, does anyone know the torque settings when doing the timing belt, cam covers etc.

yeah gtv values are rising now. well worth saving.
Buona fortuna. Good luck mate grazie Mille ciao ciao
thanks
Keep them running.

Try someone pushing down on the bonnet while you pull the bonnet release it works on my GTV.
Brilliant video!! That sound at the end 😎😎😎🥰
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey stupid question maybe but do you have any experience with a vdc asr hill Holder errors in a 159 alfa ??
yep book it in and ill take a look.
Wow didnt expect a reaction but unfortunaly Engeland is a bit to far im from the Netherlands but if it really gets worse maybe ill do it :D
It’s amazing what the poms consider to be good condition. I’d send that to the crusher as a trashed rustbucket....
Great video, super interesting !
Shame the customer did not just get the original engine rebuilt with 48k on it would be a nice original car then but great work !
Hi neil what's your honest opinion of the Fiat stilo 2.4 abarth am considering buying one instead of gtv, cheers steve.
never driven or worked on one sorry.
Nice job.
Good job... 👍👏👏👏
Thanks 😊
Nice video, and great car, but you posted this one before did'nt you?
Yes its just all been put into 1 long video.
@@ItaliaAutos
Aha, right...like that...i knew i have seen it before...just in pieces then 👌 love the channel!
My trouble is that I even want to keep parts that might still be salvagable with some extra attention. You never know, do you? Do you recognize that?
That sound!
There was a fuel leak at 36:51 when you touched fuel rail!
Yes all sorted. Clip wasn't on.
What happened to the original engine ?
if i ever find the time i will rebuild it.
You can get 24mm ratchet spanner’s on eBay.
Auto tricians always seem to go big and clever instead of starting with the basics these days.
on alfas its normally a simple fault.
Without the exhaust sounds like a formula 1 engine. No other V6 sounds comes close to Busso V6!!!

I’ve got a 2.5 V6 that keeps Backfiring on start-up, blowing the plenums off - and ideas 😞
Lots of reasons that can happen.
Genius!
Shame for the owner of the red GTV, it looked to be well maintained and had plenty of upgrades.
He’s got a much better car now.
These cars go defunct not because of italian engineering,but because of the lack of regulation in the anglo world against mechanics , that allows them to do rip people off continually ...... poor bastard probably had to abandon his car...
But I'd rather a well looked after serviced 120000mile car than a 40k shitbox
Too much talk.
What a piece of junk
Amazing 👌
