In the Laing Garage you will find Phil and Sheldon  actively working on a 'bolt-and-nut'  restoration project of a Lancia Fulvia Series I

 

   

The Basket Case

1969 1.3S Rallye

 

Stripped and ready to remove the rust

 

 

The motor, cleaned, checked and being re-assembled

 

A nice clean and shiny 4 speed box

First the subframe needed to be stripped and rebuilt Here it is coming together

 

 

 

Now the story relating to finding a usable water pump, would fill several pages. Suffice to say, I have at least 6 stripped pumps in my spares collection now

   

The "Fulvisti" inspecting the work so far
   

 

The Series 2

 

Rear suspension components, cleaned, checked and resprayed.

 

 

Rear Leaf springs, ready for carbon treatment and reassembly

 

Marked and ready to be cut

 

 

 

Really Bad Rust

So here we go!

 

So now on to the difficult part. We knew we had rust to deal with but not this much
