Lancia's design methods were:
1. Analyse for perfect solution,
2. If simple one found ignore,
3. Continue until only the most impossible and expensive solution remain

Akitaman,

I have just finished going through this thread and must say I admire your dedication and appreciate the high level with which the project is being done.

Bravo!

Atleast Alfas are that little bit simplier in their construction that you do not need a degree in 'convoluted design principles' to understand

.

Good to see I have amused the Lancia fans

. Funny thing is FIAT owners think the same of Alfa Romeo's, and Ford owners the same of FIAT, etc. Honda owners the same of Ducati's ... too.

In the end rust is rust and bloody pain in the rear to repair!

Man, this thread is going all over the place. We have to get the front chassis over to the blasters this week. But I wanted to get a few of the little things done before that.

And a repaired sections. In this photo, it's not complete but you get the idea of what it's supposed to look like.

This is the front. At one point in time it had a battery tray welded in place. So we made one and installed it.

The other bad areas we will fix after it gets back from the blasters.

There are minor cracks and bad welds that we need to repair too, but we will wait on that as well.

The driverside rocker is in! The support structure has been removed and the body is held together by its own means. Still have a fair amount to do, but the car is getting healthier.

And the old next the new
