Hello from Italy
 

Hi everybody,

i'm Riccardo and i write from Venice (Venezia) Italy and i'm very happy to found this nice forum.
I'm currently restoring an 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider and i'm sure i will get lots of tips and support here!
This Alfa is one of the reason why i was looking for a website like this, but i also like to see how the people are able to create any metal shape, often with just simple hand tools!

Ciao!

Hi and welcome Riccardo!:)

Riccardo, welcome and thanks for the introduction. Glad to see you got registered. Hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome Riccardo,

I can't wait to see your Giulietta Spider.

Ciao.

Thank you guys!
I'm happy to be aboard.

Ciao Peter ...sometimes i also would like to move from Italy!

I'm going to post pictures of my rusty Giulietta soon!

Hello Riccardo, welcome to the site. For around twenty years on and off I have taught evening class students as a lecturer at college and the thing I have found is that people dont have a workshop full of machines and equipment. It is possible to make almost anything with just a few hand tools and in fact it is best to learn how to make things by hand before getting involved with machines because you can get a feel for how the metal moves.

Hi David,

i agree! i saw that in your DVD that i bought about 2 weeks ago!

is not so easy to understand everything because i'm Italian and i don't know all the technical words, so i'm watching it more times, but i believe the most important is to try and retry in order to improve our abilities!

HI Riccardo is the alfa you restoring a Duetto?
Peter
