thanks for the video. i was having real problems trying to change the leather of the gear lever and handbreak. this was really helpful. greeting from Chile
You might already know this, The little clip behind the front doors on the rear interior panel is for securing the seat belt into when you get in and out. A lot of people don't bother with using it though hence all of the broken door cards. Your Interior looks a lot better now, and great video as usual
Looking great Joe! The red really adds a nice little tinge of sportiness...nice how the gearknob stitching matches the gaters now too. Glad the Sikaflex seems to be holding on that gater. I tried repairing a trim panel for Humdrum's hatch once with superglue and it just would not take...always was too brittle and just simply broke again. In my case it was non-removable clips that were molded into the trim panel itself, so if not repairable...you'd need a whole new panel to stick the thing on. Hopefully I can find some for the car at a local Pick N Pull yard once all this COVID stuff is over!
Those couple of little things have made a noticeable difference to the appearance of the cars interior, and who doesn't love a little dash of rosso corsa. Well done Joe, top job (and Joe's dad lol).
Good job for the videos man, I also have same gtv in same colour but with beige leather seats and other Alfa Spider. Please keep uploading videos ! :) Regards from Spain
Oh crikey been there a few times with gaiters on gear levers and handrakes. Liking the red touches! Nice upgrades! I wish the leather centres of my V70 were as easy to get out. I have swapped the cloth interior for Oak leather but I am retaining the black dash and interior trim, and having the oak leather door inserts to replace the black cloth items. It took me 2 hours to unstick the old insert and then glue the leather one in. Yep, definitely Swedish build quality 🤦♂️
Well done on a few replacements that have transformed your GTV! Just done a complete dash out interior swap on mine so I feel for you! By the way noticed your car has zender aftermarket pedal covers fitted, quite a sought after mod is that made by the same people that made the Cup kit and so on......
Swap the interior out with red leather, easy todo and a proper transformation, the fit the cup kit 😎for a fellow alfa gtv and spider owner, check out squadra916 forum 👌👍
Dude I like your videos very much. Reason is that I am in exactly the same situation. Got my Alfa a while back and ever since I am trying to restore it or improve it ( car is totally drivable as it is) Anyway, just wanted to ask you about the leather covers you got for the gear stick and the hand break ? Where did you got them from? And one suggestion next time you will take the door panels off, try to install some new speakers. There are adaptors and round speakers and for sure they improve the music department a whole lot. Keep up the good work !
Love your enthusiasm and think your very watchable, its great to see how your videos have evolved over time, your occasional humour is a nice touch. Have got 3 Alfa's in the household, 1996 Gtv Spider, 156 2.0 1999 & a 2005 Gt jtdm so I love the old Italian poo. I think the Red touches you have added look like you've ram raided Halfords but I'm 54 a d probably smell of p*ss. Carry on the great work...

Those red gaitors look the business! 😎
Great job. Lucky to have your dad around to help.👍

I just love 21 year old Italian build stickers...
Looks tidier! A few more red touches along with the black leather would look spot on! 😎👍
Hahaha I'm 1/2 italian n I felt offended by ur racism against italians hahahha. Good vid mate
Love the new gaiters! I need to do my Giulietta gaiter at some point

I was 6 days old when that gear bezel was made 😅
Thanks again joe. Great vid.😀
It was getting late and my mum made curry😂
What more excuse do you need to down tools?! 😂
Miller Corner best excuse ever mate will always work 😂
@@trials4eva2k9 it certainly will 😂

When pushing round clips on use a socket goes on even then .
Good work, like your channel.
I wasn’t even born when that damn gear holder was made 😂
Might I suggest pliers?
I've always wondered what your opinion of petrol vs diesel vs electric cars is
Where did you buy the red leather boots?

Not a huge fan of a whole red interior, prefer a few small splashes 😏
@@MillerCorner Agreed. Full red will make it look a tarts handbag.

Do not know why they use Allen bolts.You used to be able to get clips to stop those buckles from going down the belt
The other way to fix the seat belt problem is to wash them and they will retract much faster afterwards.
Nice improvements. I have a feeling the pedals will be red at some point 😁

Hey bud, I've added a link in the description with where I bought the gaiters 😁
what is your dad's car
also good job
Let's hope that your safety pins work and no more holes in your lovely looking door cards

Looking good your hard endeavours with your father’s help have paid off, a bit of hard work 😓; but well worth it.
Couldn't believe your hands stayed in tack for so long....Doing stuff like this i usually slip and skin myself at the first hurdle.. 😄
Red seatbelts would be very nice, if there is such a thing available. The cinq sporting has them so I don't see why Alfa wouldn't have had them.
I misinterpreted the thumbnail to mean you reupholstered your seats to dark blue leather as well as the red bits... whoops
I got bitten by my Italian snake time to time as well. Just a part of the experience ,you are not dealing with Toyota or anything
first .
