Thanks Tim you're too kind  . I'm pretty chuffed now that it's finally coming back together, it's definitely been my favourite part of the restoration process  . |

It's taken nearly 16 years (a third of my life!). It feels like the final sprint of a VERY long marathon.

Today the Delta had both his windscreens fitted . So that's another job to cross off the list. Over the last couple of weeks I've fitted the twin horns, front bumper, roof gutter / A post trim & the front grill. |

Does it feel like the 'home run' yet ?
Will be great to see another back on the road

Yes it certainly feels like I'm on the home straight . Once he's been back on the road for a year or so I'll probably get him resprayed & have the seats retrimmed (if I've got some spare cash!). |

Thanks for that Kev . I'm enjoying your monthly reports in Viva Lancia & your posts on the forum, your integrale didn't fair well after being left outside for years  . Mine was left outside for the first 4 years of it's restoration & it deteriorated rapidly  . |

Over the last week I've fitted the exterior door handles & the interior door cards. The front passenger one needed a couple of repairs but the rest just needed a clean. The interior is now pretty much finish apart from a few bits & bobs . |

Looking really good Rob. Coming on in leaps and bounds. You might make it to the Autumn Classic at Castle Combe yet!
Seeing that interior brings back fond memories of my HF Turbo.
Keep up the great progress.
Regards
Ian

Keep the inspirations coming Rob, car is looking great now, the best stretch of putting the parts back together is something to aim for.

Thanks guys, your comments are much appreciated . Yes it's got the Recaros so I can pretend I'm driving an integrale! I'm hoping to drive it to the Autumn Classic @ Castle Combe (fingers crossed) but there's still plenty to do. I've just started the next job on the list - the brakes - which includes fitting new brake discs & pads, reconditioned or new brake calipers, new flexi brake pipes & a new handbrake cable. Also while I'm at it I'm fitting new front wheel bearings & replacing all the CV boots so that should keep me busy for a while . |
