Ciao Roberto,

manca ancora molto di pezzi!

The journey is the reward, and before you could turn round it's finished!

Enzo ;)

Ciao Enzo,

non manca molto - manca tutto di pezzi, guarda!  :o

There's an additional layer of paint to be put on the car's inside, I'm told. And the outside is still in primer. But things are moving, and I'll mark your words and turn around (slooooooowly) to see it finished  ;)

@Yagmur: thanks for your kind words - and it's your parts that helped a great deal to get the car back to shape!

Robert - I had no idea your restoration was this fundemental.. :o

What is the ultimate aim..?

131 Sport
Abarth Replica
Rally car...?

And as Nick says please keep the pics coming .....and maybe you'd like to create a new thread under the project section.  :)

Kev, Sid, (all),

I will definitely make a new thread in the project section, don't worry. This here was just a (somewhat joking) reply to Enzo's post.

And, to answer Kev's question:

Quote
131 Sport
Abarth Replica
Rally car...?


The ultimate aim is to create a fast, sleek, reliable ( ???), street legal 131 Sport with some Abarth Replica parts, to be used (but not exclusively) as a Rally Car  - see, I'm trying to square the circle  ;)

means: ultimately, it will have all the goodies from a 131 Sport WR edition (2 doors  ;), grill, wheel arches, front spoiler, wheels, axles, gearbox) paired with Grp 4 glassfiber bonnet and trunk cover (these being the only glassfiber parts!), a mildly customized TC engine with twin Weber IDFs, electric fuel pump and electronic Marelli ignition, ANSA Exhaust, H?rmann underride protection, Koni shocks, bucket seats, roll bar, and Cibie SuperOscars. This all in arancio racing.

And yes, it was (still is, as a matter of fact) really a fundamental restoration. Built to last, I sincerely hope.

Oh dear - And such a nice car.  :o

It could have been much much worse though ...and it looks as if you are still smiling.  :)

Good luck and speed with the repairs.
