Peter, What made me laugh was the comment "Prefer to sell as a complete car" when it's missing the bonnet engine and boot lid! would make a good source of spares though, is that the standard carburettor manifold? Brian 8227  |

Insert Quote Hi All Just wondered if this could be classed as the worst starter for a project car (given its likely value at the end) yet? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320771481473&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123Quote "Project car never completed!" Apologies if I have offended anyone here, but was surprised it was viewed as a sensible restoration. Peter Peter, I think you are being unduly pessimistic, after all the 'Concise Repair Manual' is included !!!!!!!! Andy |

The clock looks vaguely savable; if that were jigged up properly you could work outwards in all directions. Keep you busy over winter  |

The phrase that's missing is "no hidden problems".

The first (and as yet unrestored) Fulvia project I bought over 13 years ago was a bit like this. It has since been joined by a number of other "unstarted" projects purchased via eBay and which generally raised the average standard of the collection from that very low base.
But yes, if I wanted to restore a Fulvia I would not start from here.
Can anyone answer Brian's question re the manifold - with these things you hope it is "rare" but it usually turns out to be just "wrong"

No, it looks like a manifold for wider carbs such as webers or dellorto
