Congrats! It seems that it’s going to be completed very soon and looks perfect as far as I can see on your video. Looking forward to watching the alfa running on the road🍀
Looking and sounding great. I wish we were not on the opposite sides of the earth, it would be fun to have them side by side for a few pics. We have a couple more minor projects to complete - thanks for the shoutout my friend!
The restoration of the 105 is progressing well and I can certainly empathise with the pesky door adjustments - especially when performing the adjustment on a newly painted car. To assist with the door closure recommend a light rub of talcum powder on the new door seals. From my end, the engine sounds somewhat 'tappety' - so recommend that you verify the tappet clearances as soon as practicable. As for engine 'grounding', the problem usually lies with the open weave ground strap that is attached from the engine (starter motor side) to the chassis - which from past experience is often overlooked. Recommend that you check the condition of the open weave cable and the connections, as it's proper fitment is critical. I have witnessed situtations where the said cable was damaged/disconnected or all together missing - which resulted in the accelerator cable doubling as the earth wire - which needless to say is undesirable and results in an accelerator cable which unexpectedly (and annoyingly) is very hot to the touch.
Great that you will use the steel wheels and Stainless Steel hubcaps. The steel wheels are made either by Firsat or Fergat, both companies supplied steel wheels to most Alfas , Fiats and even Lancias. Fun fact , the Alfa Romeo MIlano badge is made either by Bomisa or Bellu
US viewer here, I'm trying to get a a crusty New England car hoarder to sell me his straight, complete, but very rusty '71 1750 GTV. It needs everything, interior is a mess from headliner to carpets, floors are gone, the list goes on. But, as I said, complete, the only trim piece missing is the right side eyebrow. A daunting project but a challenge I welcome.
Just admirable the amount of work done in this Alfa. Red paint it's really tricky to get a well done job, but looks stunning!
Thank you very much, hopefully we can get it completed soon for everyone to see

Thanks, yes that would certainly be a bit of fun to see them next to each other.
It's a long painstaking job but definitely getting there!👍
Thank you
Looking good mate.
Thank you, still a little way to go and some electrical faults to sort out.

Are you putting the rubber at the valance and the bonnet.
This helps stop engine fumes from getting in through heating ducks.
Yes, we have the rubber seal for this 👍
Hi David, l'm also after glovebox tub for my step nose dash. Would l be able to buy a 3D printed copy from you?
At this stage we are waiting to see how it comes out. If we like them we can certainly make some for the market.
Bloody doors 🤬
