I owned a 2000GTV,was an awesome car. Hoping to buy another .Saw a restored one in Germany.Lools like brand new. Alfas never die.
Bravooo Maestroooo
I love these builds where most people see the rusted out remains of what use to be a car and then you have those who see the beauty of what can be 🤩
These images do not do the sense of pride and achievement I have for this project. A life changing experience.
Super... you just gotta love a step nose 105
That was fun to watch!
What beautiful car. Your build quality and the respect you pay to the inherarant aestheic of the Alpha shines through.Thanks.
Wow she’s absolutely beautiful , love the wheels too .
the car of my childhood .... a nice model of GT "scalino"...... great job ;-)
what a beauty i had the 2.0l !
It is a great achievement to make something from a wreck and requires more dedication than most people realise "one track mind" indeed!. I like the mods to the rear wings which are nicely done (I'm less keen on the 1990s VW colour or the interior, but each to his own).
Super result. The wheels looking good. Same on my swift 4. 😆😆😆😆
Wow... Definitely a labour of love... Gorgeous end result aswell. Regards. Rog
A mongrel spec car and Im happy about that.It lives, that all that counts👏👏👏
The body work was done by a wizard.
Well done
Looks amazing 💙🍀
Awesome build and a high level of detail!
That's just amazing, can't say more. 🙏🙏
Bravi, ottimo lavoro
Congratulations for the effort the passion and the patience , (from Greece)
Very nicely done sir...
Great transformation.
What a transformation, amazing!
Thank you!
Another one saved. Colours out there though
Beautiful
Fantastica
Spettaccolo!!
The original interior you found was for the later junior unificato or the 2000, the serpent badge is for the 2000. So basically it was already a frankenstein when you found it, so you really improved over it, congrats!
La piu bella alfa di sempre Auguri
Impresionante 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Excelente 👍👍
The rescue part is great, but you should do it to the original...
Coolio 👍🏻
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ....
Boa noite congrats vai amém bom trabalho
Good job to save it, though it would have been nice to repair the metal to a higher standard for a lot less filler. Replacement panels are pretty cheap, though it is a lot of work, so I understand the constraints of a budget and time, even though that means all the paint will have to be redone eventually. Those wheels though...brutal.
@plus790 thanks to the exchange rate & dutiesn South Africa, the cost of panels is quite prohibitive on a restricted budget.
I’ve learned a lot about saving cars since doing this car and absolutely agree, less body filler should have been the order of the day. I know now that I will redo this car again one day to the standard it deserves. About those rims. Is that a compliment or complaint? I believe rims are easy to swap out, in fact the little guy is already on his third set since the ones in the video.
@OneTrackMind71 not a fan of the modern wheels, I'm afraid. They make retro styled alloy wheels and you can get them in 15" for good tire choices.
Very nice job 👍
Im not sold on the wheels but otherwise really good 🙂
❤
That's why I do them myself instead of buying such. I know myself how few filler I use ;)
Nice job, lots of work! Would be nice to get some new bits for the details like headlamps & the shabbier chrome bits but you've got to draw the line somewhere! I do like the look of flocking but always wonder how practical it is longer term & what the options are to redo parts once they have been flocked? The grille wouldn't be my first choice either but each to thier own - its a nice bit of kit!
I learned so much through this process, never crossed my mind that some of the shabbier parts would stand out as they do. Pleased to have the car on the road and to be able to drive it. This allows me to slowly upgrade the parts I don’t like over time.
I wasn’t sold on the flocking for the same reasons, but suitably impressed with its longevity so far. That said, probably one of the things that will be upgraded in future, once I start on the interior.
First off, excellent Sound track. The first Artist is one I would love the name of.
But most important, as a Serious Alfa Restorer on a grass roots level, I have to say Awesome build !! I have a few around here that need to come to life, but my customer builds keep me from them. Even though am already a full time Alfa resto/Rock Freak, you inspire me! Cool
Thank you for sharing, Glenn, Heavy Metal Alfa.
Thanks Glen. Never thought music would carry so much weight in a video! i thought I was just making a video for my own enjoyment. 😬 would love to see some of your builds, where are you based?
@@OneTrackMind71 I am in Maine. I am serious hardcore, have owned about 150 Alfas-75 being GTV6's_ and build 60's Alfas and GTV6's 5 days a week. The Soundtrack made the video flow wicked good, And you did a great job on a full build. Look up Heavy Metal Alfa Adventures, there's some stuff. I drive Rat Rod Alfa GTV6's everyday. Got a 71 carbed GTV 1750 driver for sale wholesale too! Good job man!!
@@alfafreak2011 awesome. Reasons I drink, Alanis Morissette
But the rims are a no go, IMO
Great work !! Not fan of those wheels tho
That music tho... Had to mute it to get through the video.
Sorry! I thought it was better than the standard video editor jingle.
Great video! Prefer the steel wheels tho. Modern rims don't really work visually on such a classic car
beautyfull alfa, whats rims color code?
Citroen EJA/16 lava met
Where did you get the door number decal?
Had it made by my local sticker guy, same guy who did the stripes across the bonnet
You’d actually grande tour it wouldn’t ye
I can`t understand why people like the flocking.It looks so dreary and just ugly.Love the build though man.Good job!
It started out as a tester, but I’ve grown to like it. I’m actually surprised at how many people know what it is and compliment it!
scusa ma preferisco di parecchio l'originale
No way this was the original color, metallized was not available at that time for this car
The original color was cobalt blue, the color is used is cobalt blue from the modern day Giulia.
@@OneTrackMind71 ok, i got the point. thanks
why those wheels gtam wheels look nicer
Absolutely agree, but besides the cost, I wanted something different to the norm. The beauty is, rims are easy to change. I learned a lot about rim pcd and especially offset searching for these rims.
Would you sell it
At one stage during the bulls I was ready to give it away, now I simply cannot get enough of it. Not sure I could part with it!
Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!!!!
Can you guys source me another Junior and do the same for me?
As it turns out, I have two bodies in progress. Email me if you are serious. Ashley@alterego.co.za
Why put such a heavy item like the battery up high? Depending on the rules its better in the spare wheel well, Mine on the 1750 GTV is just infront of the passenger seat on the floor to keep the cables shorter. I know Alfaholics and others like to put the fuel tank where you ran the battery because its between the rear wheel mass, I don't necessarily agree with it. I don't like having any of that weight up high, needs to be as low as possible. If you run the Battery in the spare wheel well what you lose in weight for extra length cable, you make up more in stability, counteracting the weight from the fuel on the left side of the car
Great feedback, thanks, I’ve learned so much during this build, I ignorantly like the idea of using the dead space for the battery, but already dislike the location. Amongst many other things, battery location will definitely change.
I’m happy to help another alfisiti with tips and tricks on Alfa 105’s, mainly if I don’t directly race against them :D
Enjoyed video but music of no relevance
Why did you choose the stupid song as a background to the video, instead of giving a commentary. The music really pissed me off!! I eventually cut the sound off and just watched the video without it!! I also support Auto Azzurri. Good job on the restoration!!!
I’m new to this video making thing. I made the video for posterity. At one point, too close to the end of the project, I almost canned the entire thing. Nothing was working out the way I planned, project was taking far too long and becoming expensive.
Thankfully I pushed through and love the end result. Yes, there is a lot that could have been done better, but that’s the beauty of the project, I can drive and upgrade as I can afford it.
The music was chosen as a reflection of my mood at the time.
It never occurred to me to add commentary, but it turns out I have a story to tell, so making an updated version which will be released soon.
Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. As is the music. Thanks for the feedback.
Filler does not mean restauration…. You guys are miles behind. 😵💫
That’s why it’s called a RescueMod and not a RestoMod.
@@OneTrackMind71 rescue?

@@Qwerty8 I set out to fulfil a lifetime ambition. Of doing a project car, I learned a lot through the process and I’m happy with the end result. I made the video for my friends and family and never expected it to get any views.
My philosophy was to take something that has been abandoned and give it a nee life, save it. Therefor rescue.
I never wanted an original or concours car, which would involve a full restoration to original.
Thanks for the link, I love Vw bus!
@@OneTrackMind71 Perhaps it is due to individual conviction.
For me, there is actually only one correct way of preservation.
The beautiful thing about Venice is the visible history. For me, preserving the history of a car does not mean returning it to its original condition. It is preserving as much history as possible, any dent in the sheet metal that will not limit function should be preserved in my opinion. The same goes for corrosion - stop it and preserve it.
What you have done there does not meet with my understanding. Sorry.
It’s a personal choice.
I own one.. But you should had made it a LS1 engine and transmission... V8
How about losing the music and taking the trouble to do a decent voice-over?
I’m almost embarrassed to admit I like the music, that’s why I chose it.
Unless I’m mistaken, changing to voiceover would mean abandoning this video and starting a new one from scratch. #conflicted
