My priority now is to build the Turbodelta replica on my 78 Alfetta, and have it finished to the end of this year. I use this car as historic rally racer, and I'm fed up about having basicaly a street car with roll cage.... I think cars must be strict stock as build from factory or fully in racing trim... better if they are replicating a historic works racer or any other famous period racer.
The Loubet replica is now in a halt. This project is a long term build up, for 1 or 2 years. I have the body completely stripped and ready to be sean welded and to fit a roll cage.
May be I'm involved in too much projects... .... must finish my new home this summer, I'm helping Luis to restore his 75 Turbo Evoluzione racer (http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/mila...storation.html), I'm helping to rebuild the engine of a 78 Spider (http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/spid...00-veloce.html), then the Turbodelta, then the Loubet (http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfe...t-replica.html).... and a couple of nice ideas some people here would like vey much.

Yes, Bianchi & Koop. I've contacted them (and other sources) but prices are very high, extremely high. I know Turbodeltas Gp.4 are rare cars, not like Escorts, and parts are scarce and expensive to produce in short numbers, but asking 800 euros for a wheelarch set is mad.
I'have located sources for all the bits, the most difficult ones being the Campagnolo wheels, so in a month or so, (as soon as I get finished a current 2000 Spider engine rebuild), the work on the Turbodelta will start.

I have an engine waiting for my own project.....may never happen, but then it might with 3L and digital injection. That would be my ultimate GTV.
Some photos of the 2 cars they made.

The previous owner of my Alfetta wanted to build a V8 with it, but locating a V8 it's a very difficult task... but if you have it now.... THE MOST DIFFICULT TASK IS CLEARED!!!
Go for it, it's a nice project and a beautiful car!!
Regards, Alvaro.
