I look forward to seeing it evolve! Great score on the rear numberplate lights, I wish I'd looked into it more at the time now, like you I wasn't willing to pay £400 but I just found another route round the problem. Hey Goldenrust, Good to make your acquaintance! I'm lovin' the MX5 thread ... I'm sad to see you've sold the Fulvia but the Mazda is definitely a worthy successor . I don't suppose by any chance you made up any of the Lancia hub removal tools and, if you do, would you like to flog 'em? I'd really like to have a peek inside the handbrake hub and the lack of a hub nut tool is currently thwarting me. Bob

	Cheers Yeah I do miss my Fulvia, but it's also been great to have the mx5 back, so it was a necessary evil. I bought my hub nut tools from Omicron, for the eye watering price of £100 for the front and £70 for the rear IIRC. I gave them, along with my homemade front wheel bearing and float measuring tools, to the new owner of my Fulvia. If I had them you'd have been welcome to them. If you're hand with a welder I don't think they'd be overly difficult to make?

	Oh well, you don't ask you don't get! Some tools will turn up at some stage, meanwhile I might have a go at fabricating something, the only thing which puts me off is I can imagine the nuts need a fair old thrutch to budge 'em and the tool will need to be fairly hard and a reasonably precise fit. Thinking about it, I'll probably take the coward's way out and hire them from the Lancia club..

	Nothing of any particular merit here, just a nice shot of the Fulvia playing out in the snow today, it's a surprisingly handy little car in these conditions, no wonder they were successful rally cars...

	One of the best looking Lancia's. Always like your photos of that pretty front end but this one in the snow is extra nice!

Sorry to bump an old(ish) thread, but that picture is fabulous, I've got the horn for a Lancia now...

	Hello All, I'm embarrassed to say it's nine years or more since I started my Lancia Fulvia thread and it's still not finished! It is however getting very close. A house renovation, work pressures and a bout of illness conspired to halt progress but I've got my mojo back and am currently installing the wiring with a view to getting it fired up in a few weeks. Rather than post some random pics I'll drip feed pics taken chronologically during the restoration and hopefully it might help/inspire anybody tackling something similar. The main purpose of the project is to create a restomod homage to a period GP4 Fulvia with a view to creating something brisk, civilised and nice to drive. Let's start with a couple of pics taken a few years ago when I decided to do the Big Strip. My initial plan was to strip everything outside and work on the shell in the garage, in the end things worked out slightly differently and I built a temporary spray booth in the front garden but we'll come to that later...
