Phil . Great job on the 76 Alfasud ti. Lov the orange and the sound of that engine.She can move. Takes me back when i passed my test. .Had a ford Cortina Mk2.1600E.She went like the Wind
That is, officially, my favourite TH-cam clip ever! Last year I bought a South African Sud. She was out racing with an Audi R8, yesterday. That was my reward for a whole week of love, in lockdown. Mine is a Series 3 in run out cream, but she's got the 1.5 Ti nutter bastard engine, with the Series 2 gearbox. I'm sorry to say, everywhere I look for orange, she comes up silver. I absolutely adore what you have done to that rare S1. The absolute perfect colour. I live quite near you too!
Absolutely stunning mate!!! You must be damn proud of her! That 1.5 boxer sounds sweet as can be. My dad had a Sud 1.3 Super in 77 and me , i just bought a 1980 Capri 3.0S and am waiting, very impatiently, for it to arrive .
Oh what wow what a trip down memory lane this was i had a series 1 1300Ti on an "S" plate and what a glorious car it was....even tho i did have the later 84 Green cloverleaf and numerous other Alfas along the way....the early Sud outshone them all
Sitting here on a grey December day, your video makes me want to take my Sprint out.... March needs to hurry up and get here! Nice video. Did you say New Forest? I'm on the IOW.
@@philwesty21 yes was windy here too! I wont be taking mine out as I only use in spring and summer.... and I'm about to take it to bits to swap the gearbox out... have had a minor leak..... but your video make me want to drive it!!
@@philwesty21 Thanks for replying. I'm in New Zealand and I've just bought a '78 Ti but hasn't been delivered yet. Is there any chance you may be up for a chat some time to discuss challenges, parts supply etc. Understand if you're too busy!
Hi Phil recently bought a series 3 Alfasud 5 Door with the intention to restore unfortunately the pictures didn’t reveal the true existent of the rust in the inner wings there basically non existent. Is there any places or people within your contacts that I might be able to source some good ones? Cheers
Hi Keith. Getting any panels for Suds is extremely hard which is why restoration work gets so expensive. Keep an eye on ebay.it and bear in mind 33 inners can be modified to suit. I'm a stickler for getting even unseen right and making repair panels with all the right strengthening shapes takes a lot of time. I think you can still get the upper wing rails from John at just suds 07932 750976. He may know where to find some other panels. Scour the web, there's supplier of Alfa parts all over Europe. You'll need to learn the part names in multiple languages too! The Facebook group can be handy too, but Sud people guard their stash cautiously!
@@philwesty21 Cheers Phil, I didn’t know about the 33 inner wings. I’ve also got a S3 3 Door which is in CTCRC originally 1.3 but now 1.5 Also have a 1.7 engine waiting for a rebuild but that’s a big Class jump up so slowly sorting all the other jobs on the Sud before attempting that.
@@keithevans4643 not sure what bit you're calling a panel. A pillar goes from roof down side of screen, down door to the sill. Wing rail joins front panel to strut top to a pillar. Chassis rail is the bottom one joing to sill
not exactly easy, but ok. mechanical parts are easiest as they are shared with later cars like the 33 and 145/6. Body panels are next to impossible to get, so you just have to keep looking and buy things you dont really need! Someone will always need them. Try sudshop.co.uk and alfa-restoration.co.uk to see whats commonly available

The best handling ever, the best trunk, great comfort and space, sporty car with the rust problem.

Nice job and nice car ! I wish I had stored my 76 Alfasud ti in 1987 for a similar restoration.

Brings back memories. My dad had a series 2 TI - same colour and engine.
My second car was a S2 Ti. It was 4 years old and I paid £800 which seemed a fortune!
Absolutely stunning mate!!! You must be damn proud of her!
That 1.5 boxer sounds sweet as can be. My dad had a Sud 1.3 Super in 77 and me , i just bought a 1980 Capri 3.0S and am waiting, very impatiently, for it to arrive .
Cheers! Makes you smirk when you drive it like any good car should! I love the noise.
'free litre Capri's sound good too!
Strange, I went from Alfasuds to 3.0 Capri's back in the 80's when both were very affordable!

Thanks for watching Andy! More shenanigans to come!
Well done !!! I see right hand steering - GB? I guess so. Be proud of your work and enjoy !!!
Hi and thanks! Yes I'm in the UK on the south coast. Great roads for Sud's!
🤩 super nice
Thank you so much
Sitting here on a grey December day, your video makes me want to take my Sprint out.... March needs to hurry up and get here! Nice video.
Did you say New Forest? I'm on the IOW.
Thanks. I've got Storm Bella to clear up today so no drive for me. I have a workshop just outside of Ringwood. Cheers!
@@philwesty21 yes was windy here too! I wont be taking mine out as I only use in spring and summer.... and I'm about to take it to bits to swap the gearbox out... have had a minor leak..... but your video make me want to drive it!!
Very pretty car. Great job. Do the front fenders just unbolt or are they welded on?
Thanks! Yes they are bolt on wings at the front. Quite easy to fit if you have original items

@@christopherbrougham7474 sure, happy to help if I can. Drop me a line on carsandguitarsinfo@gmail.com and we can fix something up.
Alfasud and the 33 was boxer why the engineer was austrian, absburgic Herr Rudolf Hruska.

Cheers Phil,
I didn’t know about the 33 inner wings.
I’ve also got a S3 3 Door which is in CTCRC originally 1.3 but now 1.5
Also have a 1.7 engine waiting for a rebuild but that’s a big Class jump up so slowly sorting all the other jobs on the Sud before attempting that.
@@keithevans4643 nice! No doubt you've thought about strengthening the wing rails/a pillars already. Definitely a weak point in the design
So at the minimum need the A panels and inner wing hanger?
Is it called an A panels?
@@keithevans4643 not sure what bit you're calling a panel. A pillar goes from roof down side of screen, down door to the sill. Wing rail joins front panel to strut top to a pillar. Chassis rail is the bottom one joing to sill
Is it easy to get spare parts in the Sud?
not exactly easy, but ok. mechanical parts are easiest as they are shared with later cars like the 33 and 145/6.

@@philwesty21 thanks for your reply ,I think your Alfasud is absolutely brilliant
Lovely car, but I would have kept the original engine which is much nicer (not faster) to drive.
Thanks for your comment! I have rebuilt the 1.2 Ti engine I got with the car, so an easy job to swap over if wanted to. I just went for horses :)
