I'm here to re-watch this from the beginning. Hyping myself up for when I can get back to my own project car!
I´ve followed this build from the first episode, just had to go back and look at it again to get a reminder of how far you have come with the build!
Is it really 3 years already?
I miss Mrs Jeff in the earlier episodes, I hope she enjoys being a part of the series as much as we do!
Every car guy has at least one friend in a seedy-looking hoodie that stands ready to help him manhandle a car into a garage. I've got a couple, myself.
I've seen an Alfa Busso V6 in a 105, fits and went like a rocket!
If you grind the branding off the top of the cam cover, a Mazda MX-5 motor would look right at home in that engine bay. I think the Mazda engineers were trying to make it look like an Alfa motor. An MX-5 1.6 would sing in that car. Good luck with the build.
Michael ... Alfa Engineers helped Mazda with the Miata
So you'd ditch a 131hp 8 valve for a 110hp 16v?
I have a friend why uses a Mazda Miata BP motor in his 1st gen RX7. It kinda looks like this on
Time to start episode 1! Haven’t been able to watch much since the 680 days.
Yeah its asbestos
Love these cars grew up with them ...amazing its got no holes in the floors
"We have some nice patina, and some more patina down here"
* shows completely roached out door sill.*
Lol that was hilarious 😂
G'day Jeff 1 reverse light out on the z car ( left side).
And a part of the left brake light. :-)
If it were mine I would do an Alfaholics twinspark.
I'm new to this channel. When he opened the door to the Alfa to have a look at the inside and his reaction was "it's not terrible" I knew I was in the right place to find a good build.
Just joining you, Jeff. I’ve a 74 2L. GTV that came with AC... made a hot street / track car and the rust repairs of ‘90 were again toast. 10 yrs ago. Ready to mount on my rotisserie and do another one, yet. Will go through your other videos and so what’s being going on... thx for all the hard work, and putting out to the public. Steve
So happy to see the Alfa finally get started. Looking forward to watching it get restored. Cheers
Wow.....I just yesterday discovered your channel....and I am more than impressed! Best hand built on TH-cam! Perfection!
Got to be an F20C in a car like that, 9000rpm! The relative lack of torque low down not a problem in such a light car either. Another great choice of rebuild too, this and a 240Z, a proper connoisseur!
Ferrari rosso corsa red would look killer on the alfa
Is it a Barra? I bet it's a barra. Alfa-barra. The Italian drift taxi.
Jeff, I got to say that you have all 3 of my dream cars
Why swap one of the best engines ever made? It is the wonderfull heart of a wonderfull car.
twin spark is last of the series
11:26 cries in Canadian … 😅 haven’t watched the early episodes in a while, crazy how far you’ve come Jeff! Great job!
Haha. Thanks mate. Those salted roads scare me ;)
Hello Jeff, it's really a pleasure to follow a guy like you. You made me want to start a new project with an alfa 105. Indeed, I bought a 105 coupe and I will try to mount it with an Alfa V6 and a bmw E46 box. It is a real pleasure to follow you and I am always impatiently waiting for a new video to be posted. The way in which your whole team shoots is truly exceptional. Mrs. Jeff is not for nothing. The way you work really inspires and inspires you to get started.
To explain, I bought the car and now I have to build a workshop, you see, I do everything upside down. LOL. see you soon, good luck and lots of success.
Wow and now we’re ready to paint!
Cheers from the US Jeff. The three cars you're working on are pure and intended for drivers. Excellent choices. I regret selling my 72 240z. Perhaps all good things return. Well done. I'll be watching this process!
I like before I even watch! You are talented and after watching the guys in the US do this, it’s inspiring to see an Aussie not just doing it but doing it exceptionally well!
You should call it the Alpha Romero, because this is going to be a horror show😘
Love these old Alfas. Will follow along. Hope you are not too adversely affected by the fires out there, Jeff. Our thoughts are with you all in Australia, mate! Prayers for British Columbia, Canada....we have "been there".
Love the broom (prop rod) lol, look forward to seeing the new build.
Dang! I was excited to hear the old engine running...
So was I!
sometimes i come back here to remember myself how mad you actually are. Respect
Great to see your starting the restoration on Alfa Jeff.
Watching from Northern Ireland 👍
My suggestion for the engine would be a 2 liter [maybe bored to a little more like 2.3] twin spark off of an Alfa 75 [Milano in some markets]. With the proper work and injection management they can get to 230/240hp and they bolt straight in. See what Alfaholics does with them.
Just please, PLEASE, use an Alfa engine, I've seen some aussies putting in Nissan SR20DET's and as much as I like those engines, they just don't belong in the car.
Btw that 2 liter you got is VERY sought after!
Was going to suggest sr20det or mx5 engine. Fuel injection and or turbo would make for a lot of fun
I want him to keep it Alfa as well....we’ll all see!
@@larndavies6954 as much as I LOVE to death Miatas and the SR20DET, in my humble opinion the 105's are sacred and can't be molested. They need to be preserved.
Besides this, a turbo engine would probably ask too much from the flimsy chassis and the Miata 1.8 stock engine would be no improvement. The 2 liter for this is rated at 131hp and it's an 8 valve so it's a little torquier than a Miata, more fun on the street.
I stand by my choice of a twin spark 2 liter.
A V6 Busso from another Alfa would be cool, it's been done before but imho it would make the car too much nose heavy.
basstard13 I 💯 % agree, it's a pedigree car and deserves originality but as long as he keeps the original parts there is no harm in having some fun with it as long as it can be returned back to factory specs if wanted.
Man, you have great taste in cars!. For an engine, the toyota 3sge beams would be pretty amazing in this.
I love the BEAMS.
The AZ6 is a good transmission too.
It's the same 6 speed that was used in the NB Miata, S2000, and RX8
Wow, that's a HUGE air filter. That engine must have 1000hp 😉
Woah big job. Can't wait to see the final product.......
So many engines to choose from. I will guess in general terms and say. Injected motor. 4 or 6 cylinder
I've followed since day one, can't even you're about to start final assembly on the Porsche's engine, that the 240 is ready, and we are already on the Alfa!
So friggin excited to see what you do with this one!
Haha since you said your a firefighter I cant stop seeing you as Fireman Sam now haha, but I look forward to following this build, you have inspired me to start filming my Gemini Project 😁😁
GREAT WORK Mate, Keep it up 👍😉
Do it!
New engine... 2lt Twin Spark from an Alfa 75?
Can't wait Jeff, iv done two of these myself.lovem.
"I'm gonna dump the oil and put sumpthing fresh into it" 13:04 Sumpthing. You so funny Jeff.
Turbo Yoda and Woody from the Skid Factory say " Barra for the win" 😄
Haha, yep I will just sit in the back seat ;)
Just quietly, when is Mrs Jeff getting a garage or carport built 😎😎
Wonderful project. Looks to be a tough one as you dig deeper into that bodywork.
Looking forward to the build...
Yes, i am following this! You dont need advice but i went through my gtv extensively
Twin spark 2.0 would be a nice and somewhat proper. Busso would be overkill?
How does this channel not have far more subscribers!
That is a very pretty little car.
Just found you on Larry Chens channel, wish I’d found you before I see the finished car but hey ho, I’m gonna watch from the start anyway, this turns out epic! Especially from a Alfa Giulia QV owner. ❤
Alfa cool started apprentership on anything Italian.
Yes! Been waiting for this for like 2 years now.
Haha. I know. It is almost like waiting for one of your favourite TH-camrs to put out another video ;)
Love these old alfas, used to work for a mechanic who specialised in these and built racing versions. When restored these cars are absolutely gorgeous! 2000gt or the 1300 versions imo looked the best! 1300's had a unique cut down on the hood. I'd love a 156gta or one of these.
Jeff fit the engine out of a lancia thema 8.32......awesome
Holden 253 for the Strayan flavour.
She's definitely a puff. I know it will be better than showroom when you're finished.
I've had a 1969 Alfa Romeo Berlina, which originally had the 1750 motor, but when I got it, someone had updated it with the 2L motor. Very torquey motor. No reliability issues! The motor needs to be rebuilt regularly if used daily. But for a project car, where 20K miles is the limit of anticipated use, one rebuild should last for its life. Plus the air intake on these motors sounds extremely nice. When you put the motor from another car, with computers and the like, you start the reliability issues. Just a thought.
At last!! Wow, that’s really pretty rust free by the standards or other 105s I’ve seen!!
Overall I think I am pretty lucky, but I don't want to speak too soon, as sandblasting may come back with a different story.. ;)
Awesome, Jeff! I'll be following this one until I see that 4 leaf clover on the side!
That's not very rusty at all. Great find! Sills are standard on these and you've waited long enough to start this so there are now repair panels for underneath the rear side windows available. The b pillar is a bit finicky but nothing impossible to fix.
And you are a brave man, lifting a 40 year old Alfa by the jacking points! :-)
Engine's gotta have to be a V6 Busso or a TS from a 75. I won't stand for anything else....
Good luck!
Celica GT4 running gear and flip front?
This would be awesome
It's not BOM channel here :D
I’d love to see a twin spark engine, fuel injected and similar to the Alfaholics? Nice balance of weight and power. I’ve been waiting 2 years for this. Love your work.
Busso v6? :P or a Lampredi turbo from a Lancia?
Anyway.. the engine you have there has some potential, you sure you want to change it?
Ur building my dream projects like i hate u but i love that ur doing it!
2JZ turbo engine Jeff??? hehe That Patina is something..a quick spray of clear and your done......Alfa engines are a work of art, very unique in the 1960/70s, one of my favourite cars.
The distributor: Jeff's Achilles heel. lol put a haltech in this thing! love the new start
My guess is a Busso :-)
@@blackmafia6031 nah the 2.5 liters is much more enjoyable
Time to go to sleep so I can be ready for evening shift at work.
*glances right*
The Alfa begins?
*pause on sleep*
Mister Jeff...i can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do with this marvelous alfa. Sure it’s gonna be a hell of a project. 👍😉
Good project choice. This car has some nice lines!
Hey Jeff, one of the backup lights is out on your 680!
Love the fins on the oil pan! Cool look!
Alfa v6, Alfa v6, Alfa v6, Alfa v6 !!!!
So jelly mate, I've always wanted a 105 GTV. Can't wait to see this being built. I was down in your neck of the woods on Saturday, picking up my new car from MV Motor Group.
Gonna start watching this one....im excited for the outcome of this restomod. 👍
Great new project Jeff....allways following from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
well the steel wheels look nice, that´s a start
regards
Sören
Rotary for the win! Or maybe a 1UZ.
Please paint it a deep red wine colour. My guess on the engine would be a 3sgte love the Datsun 👍🏻
I'm very much looking forward to watching this build :)
Sr20?? I think it would be a cool swap that would look similar
About the bodywork stuff, a very good English speaking channel of which you may or may not know about is Vingage Customs. They're specialized in 105's and they have tons of videos with a lot of info on all the weak spots for these beautiful cars.
Ooohweee! Love the Alfa. Had a few in the past. Fun to tweak them.
I've a mate that works at an Alfa workshop in Melbourne. He races Alfa's too, came 3rd place in Sydney the other week.
Good luck with the rust repairs, if only Urchfab lived down the road.
An FJ20 would be a reasonable swap.
Urchfab is the best!
I agree with your salt statement ! Here in Ontario canada , this car would have disintigrated from the bottom up if driven in winters
saw the link on facebook, subscribed
Looking forward to seeing this being done
Good idea about jumping between cars that way you're always making progress! Definitely stole that idea from you and applied it to my projects
Keeping momentum is the hardest part. Just keep moving forward ;)
Haha that’s iiit!
Fantastic this is super useful for me
Looks like you have space where the Alfa was stored for a new shed... to keep all the finished cars in ;)
My guess is either SR20 or MX5 running gear. Excited either way
There was a guy on Facebook bragging about a barn find that hadn't started in 17 years. I asked if he oiled the engine before he cranked it.
He bragged again about it not needing it and he has started it a few times and even drove it!
Goodbye cylinder walls.....
Please,please restore it to the original colour.
I think for the best return on your investment, I'd stick with the original motor, we all know the potential in that lovely 2L, and following recent pricing on 105's, factory original examples bring top money over custom. That's the sensible thing to do. Now, other part of brain- "3.0 Busso or a super hot twin spark!!!!!!!" I've read that getting the weight distribution correct is a bit difficult with the V6, unless you transplant the transaxle from the V6 rear into this 105, and that would be KILLER! Otherwise, maybe a screaming twin spark would check all the "fun" boxes and be less of a hack job. Either way, looks like a great project. My 67 Sprint GT is going 100% original, but don't think I haven't dreamed of a bumperless, lightened Alfa hot rod many a times! The car looks good enough to be factory restored, and in the end that's where the best return money lies. This is going to be fun to watch, have a blast with your Alfa, it's going to make your other cars very jealous!
One reversing light out on the 680 Jeff
At first, I would say "put a M50/M52 (BMW) engine in it!" but as the engine is mostly good, yeah, just refresh it is the best option. And overall, it's a clean car!
Edit: as I respond to Byrons Shop, I think of a tweak if it's not already done by the factory, the misfiring system, mostly use for turbo, it still have a benefit with NA engine. You can grab some easy (low) HP with it. Just change the rod in the distributor to spark the opposite sparkplug simultinuously.
Nice work Jeff! Once again providing brilliant content. Keep up the good work.
I discovered your channel looking for painting/body tips initially on the 911 and subscribed based on the DIY ethos we both share. As I'm an Alfa head (4 at this moment) I look forward to following this build. I have 1 minty GTV (bought that way) and one field find (texas/Mexico impound lot) GTV in about the same shape as your Green GTV. I've admired your fab skills so I look forward to seeing progress. All the best
I've been waiting a long time for this one to show up. Finally! I hope you paint it any original Alfa color except red. Resale red is over used. I'd prefer that you use an Alfa engine, hopefully you're not going off brand. I fully support the jumping between cars to keep things going...I do it with 5....wait a minute, 6 Alfa. LOL
Looks like you've found your way to the AlfaBB. Fantastic resource with an international following.
Hey Jeff, great to see the little Alfa coupe finally,I have a 73 GTV 2000 here in Darwin ..had it a bit over a year and have been looking forward to seeing yours.Please forgive me but I am a little disappointed yours is in much less rusty condition than mine ,,just that I am sure I would have learned much from your approach to similar problems .I have 1970 Valiant 318 Regal Safari Wagon I will be focusing on first as it isn,t in too bad a nick and will be much quicker to get back on the road, (famous last words}.....also a couple of bikes, the Val is to be slightly mild custom.great to see the job you have done on the datto and Porsche love em ...(had family problems so away from youtube for a while). Looking forward to seeing how the Alfa progresses ..actually not going the restoration route myself more resto mod ,was thinking about other motivation (but still sort the 2 litre to stay close to the car ).I want to replace as many panels as possible with aluminium ..fuel cell boot floor,I have no boot floor at the moment or spare wheel well ,parcel tray boot skin and bonnet skin to name a few.Don't feel you have to answer all these points ..just wanted to let you know there is another in a similar situation ,,sincerely Waen.
I will still be doing plenty of rust repairs for you to reference. Good luck with your project.
Awesome, the base car looks great, I'm suprised the spare wheel well is still there! One of the hardest parts to find (in Europe at least) are good inner door frames. I would keep the original twin cam, its a great engine and well balanced for the car. Looking forward to new videos :)
. Please paint it alfa red😍🔥
Rosso corsa is the red international motor racing colour of cars entered by teams from Italy
Remember to take pictures of all the engine and electrical wiring so you don't have a problem of what goes where when it's time to put it back together :)
I would but the body loom in this thing has been completely hacked to bits an is not salvageable :(
You know this has to be a red car, right? Anyway, your videos make my days much better, so keep on going, Jeff!
G'day just found your channel mate and subbed.
