yeah busy busy , sending herself to the hairdressers so i can have the day free of interruptions

don't envy the thoughts of doing it under axel stands man , you'll be frozen if your lay under the car for any length of time

 

[scoobycolm]

ahh ill be in my mates garage and we have cardboard to lie on
done it plenty off times
but a ramp would be handier
lamda hasnt arrived yet only shipped today so will have to do that next week
Hairdressers is a good call

 

[tommy 555]

ha ha cardboard is like the lap of luxury compared to solid concrete , bit off bubble wrap makes a big difference though if your under it for a while , and if ya get fed up , you can pop the bubbles

Nope..but at least they look better Think a piston may be sticking, so hopefully get it checked out soon.

I know it is not my Classic but my other car need some TLC so this is what I am at since last night. Some of it hasn't been touched since it left the factory over 20 years ago so long overdue.

Now all I have to do is finish the stripping, get a few bits and make what can't be sourced anymore.

 

[scoobysub]

good man long live the lancia bits are getting harder to find all right

Yeah you would be surprised what Fiat still have for them and the net is another great source of genuine never used parts. I have been collecting bits for the last year or so to re-do the rad, oil cooler, a/c condenser etc. Only parts that I will need to be made up are the oil cooler hoses as Fiat have one but not the other and they want over 200 for it.

Being a Thema and not an Integrale there aren't many places making replacement parts but I haven't had any problems yet except for the hoses. I can't wait to put it all back together but for the few weeks at least I have the Impreza to play with.

sports cat , 2nd cat pipe , going in tomorrow , along with 3port , plugs , oil and filters , getting into a mates garage with a lift to do it , should make things alot easier , lets hope i dont have 2 much grief getting the downpipe off ,
[/quote]

all done and dusted bar the 3 port , not needed for this level of tune i was informed ,

heat wraped the downpipe , took a while but worth it

 

[Hammie]

Put it up for sale a few days ago
Other than selling it, I don't plan on doing much else with it at this stage

 

[scoobysub]
