Snip
Then I can say so long and phuckyoubucket. The sad thing is that so many fora are now broken, people's threads that were built up over years and so full of priceless information are now screwed, posters have moved on, died or whatever. These bastewards are responsible for so much content being lost - the whole internet should boycott them and force them out of business. ABC hosting (or whatever they are called) lost loads of stuff in a cock up of biblical proportions that completely deleted some of the fora I follow, these forums have never recovered and have gone from thousands of active members to just a few, Photophuckit's move will possibly be worse. Pity there is no watchdog to police these things - private, not for profit, users should only pay for bandwidth used at the worst, not fourfrigginghundred dollars! Rant over (for now). Sorry jonomisfit

Please do update - I have been following this since day one and wondered what had happened to it.

I find it amazing how many parts were shared by BL for so long; The A series engine, the Mini clubman front indicators on the dolly, the yellow label master cylinder, stalks etc etc.

So good to see you have this wee car back, how much mileage was put on in the intervening years?

What has happened with this?
Bookmarked in hope of an update - came here from your 1975 Triumph 2500TC thread.

Fulvia 1200 coupeCaptainSlog

The new Delta and Fulvia look amazing, are they just bodies on Toyota (or whatever) floor pans with absolutely no innovation or character, like the VW beetle? Lancia's success in rallying is legendary and their contribution to car design undeniable. I do hope that the campaign to save the marque is successful even if it is in name alone. Looks like the Fulvia's door shut lines are keeping the tradition!

Don't forget to disconnect the front brake hoses :-)
Love Lancias, shame that they were not viable - Italian engineering and quirkiness at it's best.
I have always fancied a RHD Deta Integrale.

Not sure that hydro Minis had the displacers connected. I will have a wee look. Looks like I was wrong again they seem to be connected.

I thought that there had to be a front / rear connection between displacers to make hydrolastic suspension work, surely the machine shop that can make the ends of the individulisers fit can make fittings for you to connect flexible hydraulic tubing to so that you can keep the factory design.

Glad to see you back on this and not given up. Firenzas are such good looking cars - just look at the rear end shot above for mojo.

curse word - feel for you.
Is there another way? Could you not have new pipes made up by a hydraulic company with modern fittings and equipment, I assume that the schrader valve is teed into the main line only.

Morning John
Where did you get the fuel tank? I am looking for similar for a VTEC Mini project, are there any baffles or foam in it?

Never seen one of these - looks good from here. I think I would find a different dash if it was mine.
