Title: Fulvia 1300 Sport 1972 Post by: alcarr on 07 August, 2017, 08:02:07 AM My Fulvia Sport has not moved in several years and now is the time for a restoration. Firstly if anyone can recommend a restorers fairly local (Essex/Kent) I would be most obliged,also I'm not sure if the engine is seized or not,is there any products I can put down the bores in advance of a turn over by hand. She has been a great car to use in the past and I wouldn't want to let the deterioration get much worse
I can hear the members screaming "why did you let it get this bad in the first place!" Sorry! Title: Re: Fulvia 1300 Sport 1972 Post by: neil-yaj396 on 09 August, 2017, 06:18:20 AM Diesel down the bores to start with?

Title: Re: Fulvia 1300 Sport 1972 Post by: alcarr on 13 August, 2017, 09:51:55 AM It certainly hasn't got the same wheels,the mirror is a circular chrome one, I'm not sure about the seats they are coloured red whereas I think when you owned it they were blue
But it has done me sterling service and I really want to get her/him back up and running Title: Re: Fulvia 1300 Sport 1972 Post by: lancialulu on 13 August, 2017, 11:44:25 AM PM sent
Title: Re: Fulvia 1300 Sport 1972 Post by: Sliding Pillar on 14 August, 2017, 06:01:37 PM When I owned it the seats were black (although it did have a pair of blue 3 point harnesses in) standard 1300 Sport items, the headrests and wheels were 'borrowed' from a 1600HF project I also had at the time. I returned it to standard spec when I sold it in about 1986. It went to someone living in Mid Wales.
I often wondered what happened to it and am glad to see it is still around. How long have you owned it? Title: Re: Fulvia 1300 Sport 1972 Post by: alcarr on 18 August, 2017, 09:53:08 PM I've had it since about 1996,we had several trips to Italy with it. The fellow I bought it from had done some work on it the previous owner changed the seats and carpets to red. I was fortunate that the late Peter Pompelli lived near me so he was able to help in a big way, but now she is looking rather sad and some major tlc is required then hopefully we will be back on the road for 2018
