Hillman imp is mine dude thanks for the kind words and glad you liked it! It’s got a bmw k1200rs bike engine, just fitted air ride suspension and goes pretty well 👍
Sick car mate 😍
I love my 916 TS. Bought it cheap, but spent loads on it, including a respray. Plus lots of other things. It’s not worth what I’ve spent, but who cares
The engine and bay look so tidy. Great review.
Sorry for a silly question but you mention to look under the sill covers and take a look behind the wheel arch liners. Would you really ask a provate seller to take these off and have a look? Would they not tell you to do one?? I only ask as perhaps i wouldnt feel comfortable asking someone to take these off to look, and i wouldnt know how to either! I am after a GTV V6 ...
Yeah it’s a big ask and I would understand if the seller wouldn’t be happy doing so. However if you did see any signs of rust that’s visible without removing in those areas id strongly recommend at least suggesting it for your own piece of mind. Lots can hide behind these sections and a good looking car could quickly become a money pit. Also on my car there is a drain from the boot which exits on the drivers side sill. If the sill cover is removed and fitted incorrectly that drain pipe can sometimes be directed to fill your inner sill with water. It happened to mine when a friendly local garage decided to straighten a jacking point on my car (FOC) I only realised after a heavy downpour and a lot of sloshing about 🤣 I would quite like a V6 too and am considering selling my Twinspark at the mo.
Already have a v6 but have been tempted by a low mileage T spark with low miles which I collect shortly. Agree completely with your comments about the Fiat Coupe, which I also like and which can be cheap. The prices on the gtv seem to be climbing and only the best Fiat Coupes are getting expensive, but on looks alone it seems the Alfa is still too cheap.
sounds ace Andy, hows the lip kit holding up ?
Thanks mate 👌 lip is holding up fine clearance can be challenging but the angle it sits at and the material it’s made from mean it acts a bit like a skid plate 😆
Hi. Can you tell me where you got the infotainment screen from please.
Hi mate sorry for the delay. Yeah I bought it from eBay from this seller www.ebay.co.uk/str/allwayautouk
Just checked and they have it listed as available on their US EBAY store here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264953090890
@iamandisykes amazing thank you. 👍
@user-fr3np6xt8m pleasure 👌
Any idea what colour that is??? Blue vela 400?
Hi sorry I’ve been away. I’ll check today
@@iamandisykes legend ty
This is great. I just subscribed.
Thanks mate 😁
Absolutely love alfas 1st was a twin spark 156 current one is a gt cloverleaf awesome
Hybrid ???????
This was arguably my favourite at shedfest. I was in the Citroen AX 😜
Mate I really appreciate that 😊
Stick with silver wheels. Don't go black!
@willster500 yup I’ve decided to keep them silver 🙌
I have a GTV 1.8 16v TS purchased in 1999, currently 144 km. It's a car that has never given me problems, it has seen my mechanic 4/5 times in 24 years, only for oil and filter changes, a super reliable car as well as being one of the most BEAUTIFUL cars ever built by the old and legendary Alfa. Romeo. Ciao dalle (Marche) Italia
I just bought a 2nd hand fatty frame and it has no headset. Anyone have any info about which one I need? I can't find the spec anywhere
Audi A2?
😮🤫
Shall I fix my car? No, ill spend all the money on screwing a load of plastic shite onto it with self tappers. Cringe.
😂😂
Love it 👍
Thanks 😁
ACE ! Sold my GTA back Q4 of 23, yours nicer, much prefer SW over 4 Door
Thanks 😊
Calling a lip kit a body kit its quite an overstatement.
Haha I suppose 😂
looks like it needs bigger wheels now
Yup I agree 💯
Not feeling this, sorry! Taste is subjective, though, so you do you!
always nice looking cars alfa 156 to bad the to hard to find here
Not too many in the UK now either 😞
looks alright that mate, pretty discrete and not too over the top.
Thanks mate, yup I agree. Nice subtle mod 😁
Kit looks good, though I'm not quite sure the car needs it - it looks meaner with it, but sleeker without. The spacers and a bit of lowering is definitely a must. The jacking point covers, I thought the problem was they are made from unobtainium. So if you lose one, you'll never find another.
Yeah I was torn to start with and agree it's a good looking car with or without. Jacking point covers are super rare now, although I've been told 3D printed replacements are available now👍
That looks so good i want one now!😍
Thanks mate 😊 I'm really happy with it and stoked you like it too 🤟🤟
It looks great, don't listen to anybody. The interior is amazing also. I wonder what is your fuel economy on this car?
Thanks mate I’m really happiest with how it has turned out too 😊 not to sure what the fuel economy is like I’ve never really worked it out, I just know the Busso is very thirsty 🤣
Cool as Fook,,
Some small expenses, but it will pay up in the end! So start working and enjoy the car after! And no offense, you payed 3000 quids on that!
Keep it OEM!
OEM+ ? 😅
I am subscriber 1000.
Yeah thanks so much 🙌🙌🙌
Looks 💩 don’t ruin a classic by fitting that horrendous plastic mess
Haha let’s see once it’s fitted, it can always be removed again 🤣
Stick them all on with tape, if you hate them, consider painting them?
Hi mate yeah good thinking. I've actually already offered it up to the car (wedged it up with blocks of wood) and it looks pretty good. I've a photo on my Instagram. Once this storm disappears I'll get to fitting it 🤟🤟
Hello Mate, very curious see how it looks. Good luck with the build.
Thanks mate, will begin on fitting it with a video as soon as this weather clears up ☔
I fitted a maxton kit to my Alfa 147 gta it was horrible I removed it the following day..your car though do what pleases you we all have different opinions 😊
3 grand - what a bargain!!
Yeah pretty lucky finding this and I'm only the 2nd owner 😀
GTAs a re a modern classic now so personally I would keep it as is, but its your car , so you do what you want with it .
The good thing is that this will be totally reversible and any holes for the kit will be under the car and easy to fill and paint if I change my mind. Also while a very good example of a GTA it's not perfect so I don't mind playing around like this with it😊
Great video, just stumbled on your channel. I'm a Alfa and Italian car fan too. Keep up the good work 💪🏼
Thanks mate 🙌 I’ve another GTV video planned and coming soon 👌
Nice video Andi, keep up great work, gotta say a beaut if not best looking wagons out there
Thanks so much mate appreciate it 🙌
Your car so do what you like, just don't do anything that cant be reversed. Keep all the OEM bits, which are now really hard to find or replace. And make sure you don't damage them when you attach the new kit or if you have to remove anything.
Thanks mate, actually nothing needs removing and this kit will actually help keep things like the jacking point covers in place (they’re really expensive now)🙌
@iamandisykes indeed they are. Recently bought a set of the covers from a guy in Czech Rep who 3D prints them. Parts were cheap but postage to Australia cost well over $100. And as it turns out, I didn't need em. Thought mine had been pinched, but they had actually just not been refitted when I was having some work done in the workshop. At least I have spares now!
Do it
I test fitted it earlier and it looks pretty good 😊 video coming soon 🤟
I fixed a wiring snafu in the rear light cluster, then pulled out the speedo and replaced a failed odometer bulb on the dash of my 156 GTA, before changing the oil and filter on my Alfetta GTV.
Sounds like a productive Sunday 🙌🙌
@@iamandisykes AlfEaster...
That's Matt's car from the Furious Driving CZcams channel
Nice colour on a GTV
That’s not his car I’m afraid
Nice to see a car me and my son restored
Wow nice job
Rallye is 1.3, Gti is the 1.6, and the quiksilver is a 1.4. Absolutely brilliant these cars.
1.3
GTti! It literally says it!
Yup that's why I say GTTI in the video 😅
@@iamandisykesnope, you said it with one T :)
Bx's tend to settle down rear end first but will eventually sit flat. The big bore exhaust on the black one sounds absolutely awful, and will be coming off directly. It's just on it because the genuine back box was quite quite pickled and I wanted to save it so I can have a stainless copy made
Great looking car 👌 thanks for that info, I hope to see it again at another show with the new back box 👍👍
@@iamandisykes I'm hoping to get to a few events this year if time allows, I'm also hoping the paint on the car will be less awful, and it might even be clean.. Maybe..
