- This old rusty 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 was abandoned under a tree. I pulled it out and rebuilt it from bare metal with a Ferrari 360 V8 engine, power steering, and air conditioning. I built my dream restomod entirely by myself in my garage.

In all of my many years of watching TH-cam, I have never ever watched a guy with so many skills. Hats off to you mate, you are truly incredible 😮
F. F.g ml
From body, chassis, engine , seats, leather 😮😮😮😮
Gonna agree with this. Im even wonder how he ever done that all by himself. Mad respect to him!
Totally. This is just insanely good work. Lets hope the music on this is copywrite free and he didn't do that as well.
I thought the exact same thing. I'd love to have even 10% of this man's talent and motivation.
When he goes from bodywork to wiring to custom upholstery I’m shocked at each step, truly a quintessential craftsman
I was thinking the same thing. Dude can do everything!
... a Genius !!
I'm speechless ❤
It wouldn’t surprise me if the guy also wrote, played and mixed the music.
He doesn't. He does build violins though..
how does someone learn to do everything like that? any roadmap for building
I m leaving this comment here so that after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, i ll get reminded of this masterpiece! 😊
Me too!
Here’s a comment as a further reminder
Man's watching this twice a day for the next year lmao
Reminding you after 1 month. If you get a reminder after a year, hit me with a reminder too 😅
Вспомни еще раз. Где то там живет волшебник который из любой тыквы делает карету бро.
This isn’t a resto-mod - it’s pure art. Your skill set is amazing!
After all this time I completely forgot how bad the condition of this car was in the beginning. You brought it not only back to its former glory, you went way beyond... and all built by yourself! You're the man Jeff!! Congrats to this amazing car.
Talking about someone who goes way beyond 😜
I still wait for your datsun done dude 😊
2 legends meet
He built a new car. He used the old car only as a template, to know how to weld the new car together. I cannot tell whether I am joking or not.
Just saw this as it got lost in all the comments. Thanks mate. Really enjoying your restoration.
We have an engineer, an electrician, a mechanic, a tailor and a blacksmith in one person. I didn't believe it could exist.
I was thinking about the same thing
*he
*designer. Although the one little thing I dislike a bit is the silver stripes and cage. Green or purple would’ve been amazing!
Wait I’ve forgotten to fit the air conditioner!!!
Ha ha my door gaps a bit too big I’ll weld a bit on 👍
I bought a 1974 GTV in 1978 for under $4000 from an Alfa dealer in Belmar NJ. It was 90% perfect. White with black interior. It was my pride and joy. Unfortunately my Dad got very sick and I was forced to sell so I could help with their bills. I have photos and they both elate and sadden me. Your build is the most envious car I’ve seen in my 74 years on this earth! Congratulations---
Loved my '74 GTV! Used to drive it up to the mountains for skiing and would blast past the lines of cars struggling up the mountain road.
Best 16 minutes you can spend on TH-cam, period!
Unreal, once again.
Totally agree!
Whoever that man is.. he is a legend!! Building everything from scratch, having multi crafts, doing it with passion and love.. thats just perfect
funny enough as it says in the bible to develop your talents and you know it is so true....when you start doing stuff you end up like this guy.....i am pretty similar to this guy..on small step at a time and you get there...no mattr what u want to do.
Goodness, I forgot how truly horrifying the original shell was under that green paint 😱 Incredible work. So nice to see how far it’s come
So did I. It really was a basket case.
@@HomeBuiltByJeffcongratulations for your work and skills! You did an amazing job restoring this car. That's a love statement to Alfa. 👏
As an italian i have no words for this car.. i would say its priceless ❤ god we love alfa romeo and ferrari ❤❤❤
This build is absolutely jaw-dropping. The time and effort you put into this build is beyond measures, from the car being in that bad shape, to you building, engineering and fabricating so much to make it work… calling this insane would be an understatement. You sir, are an absolute legend!!!
I've been in the automotive industry for a very long time, and I've watched a lot of restorations, but you, my friend, are an absolute MASTER!
Wow, that just puts the size of this project into perspective, and you did it all on your own. A credit to you Jeff, a massive solo effort. Bloody awesome.
Good Lord! You did it all by yourself, engine, body work, electricity, even the seats! The knowledge!! You are a University! On top, the Alfa GTV 2000 is one of the most beautiful cars there is.
Man, you're livin the dream for all of us who only wished we could do this. Keep the videos coming.
Easy to forget how much time and how much work you’ve put into this when it’s spread over a few years of YT videos. It’s a great build and you can be rightly proud of what you’ve done with this.
Could not agree more. Followed the build from the beginning and forgot just where it came from and all that went into it. Truly an astonishing outcome by a “home built” guy in his garage. Incredible really. Hats off to you mate!!
Jeff I really don't have the words...
It's absolutely incredible how you took this rust-pitted pile of metal, had a vision of what it could be and painstakingly made it happen.
I've followed this build from the start. I remember you telling us "This will not be a quick build." You weren't lying! Lol. Even 680G was around when it started, and that was SOOOO long ago!
I'm glad you are enjoying the "finished" product despite the few gremlins to figure out. Congrats, bro! This is one of the best builds I've followed on YT. This should be made into a movie or a documentary.
this is the most incredible video of cars ever built, this gentleman did everything himself from start to finish from tinsmithing, mechanics, upholstery, absolutely everything, incredible, I wish I had such a talent
This was a major flex, what a ride! You worked every material, worked it well, refused to elaborate and built a heck of a beauty! Congratulations for your work, I'm amazed and I wish I could learn in my lifetime 1% of what you demonstrated here.
This may sound wrong but the thing I'm most impressed with is how deep you had to go to banish all the rust! Because without that effort the build is just about pointless. I just kept thinking, there can't be anymore? There was... til there wasn't. So much impressive work, great job!
The first minute or two is for the purists who said you ruined a perfectly good car, the whole 16 minutes and 34 seconds is for the people who actually love cars.
There are plenty of people out there to say it should have returned to stock, but does the world really need another stock Alfa 105? I love what has been done to this car.
Once of my motorcycles is a 90s Moto Guzzi that sat for 2 years in a dealership in Adelaide before I bought it. I made some mods and encountered some pushback from purists who told me it wasn’t what they would have done. My reply was that they had their chance to control the process by getting in first and buying it, and since they didn’t that perhaps they should shut the fark up. Critics are a dime a dozen. More power to Jeff, I say.
Agreed, Either way , it’s better than rotting under a tree isn’t it 😊
Agreed 10%
Wow, big call! I think purists love cars too, just in a different way. I personally love what Jeff has done with this particular car, given what it would have taken to restore it. However, I also love a pure Alfa or Ferrari. These 105’s in pure form are now attracting big money, but it takes as much to get them to that standard. Of course, money is only one consideration when restoring or modifying.
Coming from someone who's spent his whole life in the autobody repair industry and done many restorations, the quality of your work is truly exceptional, you are most certainly a master craftsman, i only hope you have a willing student or 2 to pass all that knowledge and skill on to, excellent work sir!
I'm over here proud of myself when I build like a work bench or a new door for my office by myself....this guy literally just built an entire CAR! Honestly one of the more impressive project videos I've ever seen...
I`ve seen every single episode of the build. What an amazing journey with Jeff. Highest respect from Germany, Norbert
The first time TH-cam recommendations are on point. There are some crazy talented humans on earth, and this chap is one of them. It’s one thing being an engineer to this level, but being able to do everything to build a car to this level, even bespoke seats, is unreal! You’ve got a new subscriber!
You sir are on another level! I can’t even begin to imagine how it drives because I’m still in awe of you talent and craftsmanship! Friken amazing!!
Absolutely amazing handling every single facet of the build on your own, all done at home. I just can’t get my head around that.
Jeff you are truly a special breed.
A great reminder of just how much time and effort you've invested in this build.
I'd forgotten how bad the shell was to begin with, you nearly replaced everything!!!
Thank you Jeff for bringing us along for the ride, it's been awesome, resulting in one of the best builds I've had the pleasure of watching.
Legit one of the most impressive and clean conversions I have seen in a while, much respect for your workmanship and love of the craft.
This just popped up on my feed. The word genius is banded about far too often and should be reserved for men like this, an actual genius. I would have happily watched the long version of this even if it was hundreds of hours long. Subscribed. How have I never seen this channel before?
This guy is brilliant when it comes to cars. Body repair to paint to sewing upholstery. The onky thing he did not show is cooking dinner. Kudos to you. Youre the man
Ive been following the build since day 1. I must say looking now how much you improved your skills over the years makes me proud ! Good job man ! I really admire your work especially with the seats. They are amazing. The whole car is!
First time watching Jeff's channel. Words almost fail me. Truly extraordinary! Chapeau to Jeff! 👏🍻
Just amazing - couldn't believe it when you started single-handedly trimming the interior! Skills galore. Huge congratulations, what an awesome car
As someone who watched the compilation before going back and watching all episodes at normal speed I’m now stunned at seeing the true scope of this project, Jeff. Just fitting that motor into a pristine car and getting it to work would have been a task but I see you had to rescue, restore, and reinforce the entire car first. My god man you are a legend. And in the middle of all that such cool touches such as electric actuators for rear windows?? Just wow.
I’ve watched the whole series as it came out so there was no surprises here, but seeing it all again from start to finish really showcases your ingenuity, capacity to learn, technical skill, hands on problem solving and all round awesomeness. Love the car, love the channel, huge respect. 👍
I've seen part of the journey as you documented every step of the way, but seeing this montage truly gives an idea of the massive achievement that is this build. Most impressive set of skills. What an artisan.
Jeff, I hadn’t been able to follow every episode, but this compilation blew me away. Your skills have grown to incredible heights. Just WOW! The work you did to get this project on the road is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for sharing your journey.
The level of ingenuity and intelligence it’d take to build this completely solo is breathtaking. Big respect buddy
First time seeing this channel and i am completely blown away... This man literally built an entire sports car inside and out and it looks amazing... mad respect
Wow just wow. The skill level to do this car is just insane and utterly amazing. Pure beauty finished and just gorgeous watching it being completely. Hope you keep doing these cars and videos. Utterly stunning work 👍
You are a true artist, the first video on your channel that I have seen and I already want to see the others. Congratulations on all these skills you have! A hug from a vintage car lover here in Brazil!
What a fantastic car. You should feel really proud Jeff, you have worked incredibly hard and finished with such a unique and amazing car. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you.
Thanks mate. It is great filming this stuff so I can go back and actually remember how much work it took :D
From a mechanic to a person that shows that much dedication time and focus.... Well done!!❤
This is probably the single most impressive thing i have seen in 12 years of TH-cam. From vision to execution. The skillset. Completely mind blowing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jeff is obviously completely bonkers, in the most incredible, most respectful way possible.. hats off to you sir.. what a build, I’m in awe !
Wooaw...! This timelapse really shows what an incredibly job You have done, Jeff. I have to admit that i first met this channel, when i saw the little Alfa in the paintbooth getting the yellow colour. I followed it all since then. Really impressive and skilled work done. Congrats to you with this beautiful yellow beast🤩
Absolutely blown away with your skill, endurance and determination. I can't think of anyone else I've seen who has done so much of the work themselves on a car. Loved watching you work and love the car, weirdly it still has a slight Alfa sound to the exhaust, again brilliant work. Have subscribed and I'm already looking forward to your future projects.
Love the color and stripes you went with. You sure did put in a LOT of work, but the result was worth it! Came out gorgeous!
He’s an electrician, painter, mechanic, welder, carpenter, tailor, plumber, metal fabricator, fiberglass guy. What does this guy not do.
The restoration work is impressive, without words. Manufacture, restore, adjust...amazing. I work in the union and I recognize the great work that a restoration like this entails...Congratulations for such a good job🙌
Руки из правильного места растут, а самое главное это понимание того что он делает, что как работает и что за что отвечает, а таких людей не много. Однозначно мужик с большой буквы, таких людей не много. Всё в одиночку!!!
In all the thousands of car videos I’ve watched on you tube over the years and years I have never seen a person as talented as this, by a country mile the most talented guy I have ever seen. Remarkable.
How not to subscribe to this channel with this extraordinary engineer. Incredible work of art. Congratulations!
Niesamowite. Wyjatkowa praca, niewiarygodne umiejetnosci. Gratulacje.
Prawda 😀
Awesome build. You’re skill level is amazing and be nice to see it on full chat sometime. Onto next build can’t wait to watch each week’s episode 👍
I have never seen something as amazing as this. You are a SENSEI! A MASTER! From engine, to bodywork, to AC, to upholstery. YOU ARE AMAZING, sir!
OMG, it's amazing how you changed every panel and pieces of metal in the car, it's as if it went to the factory for a whole metal face lift,,,u are a true master of the craft!!!
Good lord, you can hardly call that renovating a car. This is next level carbuilding! Amazing how skilled some people are.
WAUW! what a beautiful car, huge amount of respect and admiration for getting this beautiful car, in such rough shape back to life… 👏👏👏
Having followed this build all the way thr9ugh I forgot just what an amazing result you have built...🤔🙏🙏
Truly stunning
You are an amazing craftsman and highly skilled in all aspects of this build
Well done sir
That looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!! Wow, hats off to you Jeff! Seriously, a fantastic level of skills demonstrated, producing something most mainstream manufacturers would be drooling at!
Amazing that you could bring her back. I was enthralled for 15 minutes !!!
Just one word: Incredible!
Many tons of works and just one man.. warm congrats 👏👏👏🎉💯
Just one word can define all the skills you have on the same person, amazing!!!!!!!!!! Very nice job, I really enjoy the video
it's impressive how you also paid attention to labels, making it much easier for maintenance and repair later
I just stumbled across this channel now and Wow I’m floored. What an incredible job.
Hard to imagine that one person can have that much talent especially with limited tools and equipment! I’ve restored a number of cars over 30 years but I could never keep up with this guy. A true craftsman and problem solver!
It's not just a car, it's a dream of millions. And you are building it. We all need people like you for inspiration and motivation.❤
Awesome job and u actually delivered on showing us before and after which it's not that many videos that do that. They mostly just show us the car that they find and that's it. New subscriber
I'm in awe of his skills. All bases covered. Fantastic car.
I started watching late into the build and didn't go back to the start, nice to be able to see an abbreviated version of it
I watched this guy do the Porsche but this on another level. Only one work springs to mind- GIFTED
My favorite (but notoriously rusty) Alfa! I almost bought one back in the day. You did a lovely job! 💛
Wow! Extraordinary knowledge coupled with stellar skills in so many areas including leather trim! I’m speechless ❤ Also you have maintained the intrinsic lines by being restrained with the flares.
You're a genius! Straight up, no debate. One of my all time favourite Alfa Romeos with a legendary engine. Well done!
I'm always truly impressed by people like you who are mastering so many crafts. For mechanics to sewing leather, creating all the stuff is truly, truly impressive. Thumb up, your car is beautiful... And sounds so great! 👍
I can’t believe how clever and skilled this guy is!!!
Oh my Lord what an awesome build, dude you are totally unbelievable, keep up the great work.
How can someone be this good at everything?! You’re a testament to hard work and determination, I’m extremely envious. Tremendous job. 👍
Is there anything you can’t do? Stunning work. I worked in a Jag, MGB, Triumph, Alfa, Lancia dealership in the late 70s, and these were never finished this well.
Masterpiece, a true masterpiece. A man made from skills, passion, and insane patience, all great qualities i hope to have one day. Such a great video, i whatch stuff on yt from more than 10 years now, this is indeed in the top 3 videos ive ever seen. Pure magic.
Absolutely epic, you're an immensely talented guy and that's a hell of a car you made!
You sir, are a master of your craft. It's insane how much work goes into this.
Speechless. Creative, craftsman, and driven. Bravo.
My old man had this alfa I was so invested watching this, amazing work bud.
wow you're truely blessed and gifted in building this bro, this is 100% pure good, fantastic work!! you should be proud of yourself , thank you for making my day 👍👍👍
Imagine the skills of this guy. basically just built an entire car from scratch. wow!
Insane amount of skill and workmanship...great job.
This is just bliss!
This is why the term 'Restomod' was coined!
Just a beautiful creation 👌🙌👏
Lot’s of love all the way from Nepal
We need more jeff
BRILLIANT WORK MAN❤️HUGE RESPECT 🥺❤️JEFF

The obsessive desire and love of automotive craft is awesome. Rock on dude

The skills and attention to detail are off the chain…amazing jeff.
I am just in Awe. How talented you are and doing all by yourself.
You are a master of so many crafts! This is truly an impressive project and the car is gorgeous!
