- FOR THE ROAD EPISODE 3: Everything that's wrong with my Alfa Romeo.
I have a look at everything that's gone wrong on my 1964 Giulia Sprint GT since it was rebuilt in 2013/2014. From bodywork to fuel system issues to mechanical trouble, this is what needs fixing on the "Africa Car".

That Jag Mark X in the background at the beginning of the video is really cool.
Awesome videos Jethro - your channel really isn't popular enough when you've got this kind of production quality.
Strike86 thank you! I don't upload very much so I'm not expecting much channel growth. However my new workshop is almost done and I will be putting out regular videos from next week.
Loved it Jethro. A really honest description of a car that looks mint 20 meters away! This translates the reality of a well worn classic car. I'll do the same kind of video of my Alfa one of thiese days.... It's in kind of similar condition!
I just gave a look at your other videos and it's just awesome! I'm 24 and I'm also restoring my 1970 GT1300Junior (also the model with the open hood but with the newer interiori/2nd generation). Would be great to see how your project will proceed. I will start to rebuild the car soon. Greetings from Switzeland
Look if you need any help my father owns a alpha Romeo parts stor we have o loot of rare parts btw I live in morrocco
Unpopular opinion:I would rather have it drive and rust than let it sit stripped for years . They will never be perfect ,so might aswell enjoy these cars as long as they run.
Petar Perovic it’s probably a good approach, in retrospect.
Never drive a classic car in Denmark during winter. We spray tons of salt on the roads each time there is a chance of sub zero temperatures. Corrosion of are very often the reason for cars ending up in the scrap yard. Almost impossible to stop when first started.
Love this project and the fact you and this car have already been through so much together. Will be watching. And of course worrying about that Alfa itch I've seemed to have picked up....
Do it! They're great little cars.
Yeah - and it's getting worse by the day. I just saw something called a Junior GT. Holy Moses what a gem. I used to think I wanted a spider but I think I'd take that little beastie first.
Egypt, Ethiopia ect.. you've been all over man. I'm new to your videos, and please explain the Ethiopia thing with stupid kids throwing rocks at cars WTH!
MOST 60S 70S ALFAS HAD NO INTERNAL PAINT ON PANELS JUST BLACK PRIMER WHICH DID NOT HELP IN UK DA
ITS SUCH A SHAME SO MANY 105S IN THE UK HAVE ROTTED AWAY
A little more than 10 years ago I had, together with friends, a 1969 Berlina project car. And other friends had other Alfas of the same vintage during those days. Some still do. I miss those 60's Alfas. I subscribed to your channel. Who knows, I may get another 60's Alfa after seeing your videos.
TheCDANet Thanks for the support man 👍 I hope my videos are useful to the Classic Alfa Romeo community online. Comments like this are why I decided to start making videos.
And your videos are much appreciated! Thank you!
I would definitely, if I may suggest, get rid of: foglights, bumper, the trophy badges, the metal number plate (I'd put a sticker on the bonnet instead, 1940s race car style), the side indicators and I would swap the frontal indicators for the clear all-white ones and I would give the co-driver a side mirror. Cheers! Great car!
Where in SA are you based man? Would love to meet up and check out your car if you're close to PE 👌🏼Restored a vintage car myself using it as a daily driver.. Not a Alfa though 1965 Beetle :)
Hey yeah if you’re in the area hit me up. I’m nowhere near PE though, I’m on the east Coast near Howick.
Great stuff Jethro 👍🏻
This is a super beautiful car even with all the little dings! I love the color you chose to paint it! How much did the car cost you? How much would it be to get one in drivable condition? I'm looking for a classic car to restore and old Alfas and Porsches are my favorite!
Driver's Side Thanks! I paid very little for this, about $2700 back in 2012. I put a fair amount of money into it to get it running. They are getting pretty expensive now, especially the Step-nose cars. But they are a lot cheaper to rebuild than Porsches!
Jethro Bronner yeah I’m thinking a classic 911 is out of range for now but an early Alfa of any variety would make my old soul happy haha
Can't wait to buy a gtv... Thanks for pointing out a few things to watch out for
That windshield chip looks repairable
It's in a awesome condition for it's age. Great video.
Alfa Guy It's one of the better ones, but definitely needs a little love.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more.
Lorenzo Liem thank you! I'm looking to get better at this videography thing with each upload.
It'looking pretty good already but most importantly it's personal, honest and all about alfas.
Jethro, thanks so much for sharing. Your car gave me the motivation to restore my 1986 Alfa75 to such a state that it will now feature at the Nairobi Concours d Elegance on 24th September 2017. Am grateful to E.B. Spares Ltd of UK for the support av gotten 4m them over the years. Keep it up and may others also benefit from the same way I have.
Good luck for the Concours! I attended in 2015. I wish I was going this year. I love Nairobi and I can't wait to go back. Thanks for watching!
I will send you pictures!
The most expensive car you could buy is a cheap Alfa Romeo.
(Other marques will fit as well.)
Ray bloody Purchase...
@@JethroBronner Are you a friend of Toast? I've got suspicions about him and my wife...
Really like colour and interior colour combo
Yeah I think it worked out really well.
@@JethroBronner I can't do red
Red on Alfa 105 GTs is very overdone now.
Great video. Isnt fuel in SA "AFRICAN?" What did u mean?
Consider a proper hydro blast to get to the actual metal then repaint. That way you wont have residues of previous paint evidenced. Hydroblast will also help to identify ALL rust spots. Great video!! Your trip was such an inspiration!! Would have loved to host you in Kenya!!!
Hi, Jethro. Great vids. I own a '73 Giulia 2000 GTV and can commiserate with the driver's side hinge issues. I've ordered the upgraded ones from Alfaholics and hope they last.
Nice video.
pretty cool video - subscribed - I own a 1972 gtv 2000 and I always loved your blogs/adventure
Antonio Talarico Thanks man! In this vlog series the 3rd car is a 1973 GTV 2000, which is getting a full rebuild too.
Jethro Bronner very good cant wait
Antonio Talarico I'm restoring my 1970 GT1300 Junior (scalino). I never had the chance to drive a 2000 GTV. Have you ever had the chance to compare the two models? 1300 vs 2000? My father owns a 1750 Spider Duetto from 1968 and its engine is just great. I really hope that the 1300 gets at least somehow close to it.
Redline MTL or the shockproof? Love the skinny wheels also. Nice car !
Beautiful car
DOES IT STILL HAVE DUNLOP BRAKES OR CHANGED TO LATER ARTHER TEVES ENG?
What is that white car on your "parking"
If I saw someone throwing rocks at my car, they better start running...
Well I think they were throwing rocks at me, I just happened to be in the car.
What suspension is the car on?
who wud throw stones at this car
Gorgeous car
your voice makes me feel so tired
