Abandoned under a tree to Ferrari engine, complete Alfa restomod in 15minutes - The Alfarrari
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 KZhead, 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.
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 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!
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
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.
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.
As an italian i have no words for this car.. i would say its priceless ❤ god we love alfa romeo and ferrari ❤❤❤
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. 👏
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!!!
Best 16 minutes you can spend on KZhead, period! Unreal, once again.
Totally agree!
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.
Imagine the skills of this guy. basically just built an entire car from scratch. wow!
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 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 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 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!
I`ve seen every single episode of the build. What an amazing journey with Jeff. Highest respect from Germany, Norbert
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.
Man, you're livin the dream for all of us who only wished we could do this. Keep the videos coming.
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.
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.
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!
Good lord, you can hardly call that renovating a car. This is next level carbuilding! Amazing how skilled some people are.
The first time KZhead 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!
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.
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!!
He’s an electrician, painter, mechanic, welder, carpenter, tailor, plumber, metal fabricator, fiberglass guy. What does this guy not do.
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
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.
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!
The level of ingenuity and intelligence it’d take to build this completely solo is breathtaking. Big respect buddy
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.
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
How can one person keep that amount of knowledge in their head??!! Unbelievable!! From fabrication to electrical to upholstery to mechanical and so much more. Very very impressive!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably the single most impressive thing i have seen in 12 years of KZhead. From vision to execution. The skillset. Completely mind blowing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
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!!!
From a mechanic to a person that shows that much dedication time and focus.... Well done!!❤
Amazing that you could bring her back. I was enthralled for 15 minutes !!!
I watched this guy do the Porsche but this on another level. Only one work springs to mind- GIFTED
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
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🤩
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.❤
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🙌
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.
The Swiss Army Knife of car restorers... this guy is skilled in every aspect!!!! Amazing to watch; I’m so jealous of his abilities. Car is fantastic too
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 !
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 👍
beautiful color combo. i love it! you've got mad skills. great job!!
Amazing professionalism.
First time watching Jeff's channel. Words almost fail me. Truly extraordinary! Chapeau to Jeff! 👏🍻
I can’t believe how clever and skilled this guy is!!!
The amount of different skills you have… fabricating.. welding, mechanics, making a custom interior… I mean wtfffff.. fascinating
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!
Didn't think I would tear up from hearing an Alfa Romeo run but here we are. Beautiful build man.
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!
ACOJONANTE Honestly, congrats. Awesome job. You've taken the phrase "Built, not bought" to another whole level.
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.
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.
Amazing build mate! Built to perfection!
To me, this car becomes so much more valuable because of all the hard work, long hours that one man has put into it. It is truly amazing, and his craftsmanship is insane. I almost would feel not worthy to own this car because I didn't do anything but in no way would I refuse it
what the hell did i just watch, pure magic, it kept getting better and better truly a lifetime worth of skills and passion . This is immaculate art
Just one word can define all the skills you have on the same person, amazing!!!!!!!!!! Very nice job, I really enjoy the video
How not to subscribe to this channel with this extraordinary engineer. Incredible work of art. Congratulations!
Always wanted one of those Alfa's , but even when new they had a reputation of being rust buckets. What you have done is bloody awesome.I loved all the mechanical work , but when you started on the electrical looms and then upholstery I was blown away. Now I wish you could get your hands on a Borgward Hansa 1500 sports coupe and do your thing. Or even a 1960 Borgward Isabella, both were cool cars.
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!
Jack of all trades...master of all. Amazing workmanship!
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!!!
After watch all of 16 minutes and 35 second and 15 milisecond. My tears coming out. Too much skills and experiences. Very very huge respect to you. As a yacht designer i have passion like you and as soon as possible i will design my concept car and i will work hard on it. I hope i have enough time and money.
Having followed this build all the way thr9ugh I forgot just what an amazing result you have built...🤔🙏🙏
I really don't know you will be able to get back the money you spent on this video. The amount passion you have is really incredible. Great work.
this man is one of each kind in the world , his really amazing , this is the true JACK OF ALL TRADE ...
Master Fabrication Skills right there... Also wearing the correct personal protection equipment at all times. Sign of a true professional no doubt.
A next-level resto vid ft. a Ferrari engine AND a groovin' 80s/Emo soundtrack?!?!?! I love this!
When bro started stitching the interior I was in fuckin shock that he was doing literally EVERYTHING!! 🤘🏽
The fact this guy does EVERYTHING on his own is incredible. You earned a subscriber dude 👍 this thing is fucking rad!
The obsessive desire and love of automotive craft is awesome. Rock on dude
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 👍
At first I thought, why is he spending so much time on a "basket case" body. Then I saw the modifications, then more modifications, then it made perfect sense. This transcends craftsmanship, this car is a work of fine art. A true masterpiece. I hit the subscribe button AS HARD AS I COULD.
This guy is a real one man army, he does absolutely everything, great job!!! I thought he was going to extract and refine the petrol to fill the tank too...
You are such an impressive young man. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for painting this car Im sick of KZheadrs restoring abandon or junkyard cars to run and drive but not painting them. Your car looks awesome.
a genius at work, respect!!!
it's impressive how you also paid attention to labels, making it much easier for maintenance and repair later
It's mind blowing how he manage to do all that amazing work in just 15 minutes 🤯
Speechless. Creative, craftsman, and driven. Bravo.
Quest' uomo ha ricostruito l'auto da cima a fondo....motore,carrozzeria, cablaggio, pelle degli interni....mai visto un restauratore occuparsi di ogni parte del lavoro come lui....solo una parola COMPLIMENTI!!!
Oh my god, Jeff.. you’re a madman. How many skills do you have?! Haha that’s a piece of art. Absolutely awesome
You have no idea how many times I said in my head “ain’t no wayy” I couldn’t believe my eyes, so so much skill just wow👏
A handful of people worldwide have all the skills to do this. You are a member of a very small club.👏🏼🏅🏆
Круче этого человека я ещё не видел в этой сфере. Это же надо из куска железа собрать такую красоту 😮
This is just bliss! This is why the term 'Restomod' was coined! Just a beautiful creation 👌🙌👏
You Sir, are an incredibly talented, skilled and knowledgeable man. I bet Adam from JEM wet himself when he saw the calibre of it. What an incredible build. Thanks for uploading your content for all of us to enjoy watching you work your magic. Congratulations.
This is the best car video i seen. Super multi talented guy. Even tailoring upholstery!!!
