Dedra turbo H630 XGN

There is a receipt for the water pump and rear metal water rail at about the same time, so I'll see how the pump feels.
Balance belt, tensioner and idler bearings, aux belts etc will all be changed.
I'll be placing an order soon, once parked up I can take the cam covers off and check what tappet shims I need so it's all done in one order.
A bit of a service too, but I will leave that until it's welded and painted, making the engine safe to start up is the priority, how galling would it be for the belt to fail whilst moving it around the yard!

Saw these online in Italy, couldn't resist even though I could have repaired the ones on the car, but original Fiat /Lancia panels that I can spot weld in place will make for a nice repair. Even if they are completely hidden!
Front bumper mounts, if anyone is wondering. Mine are rotten on the bottom, as all seem to be.

They stretch all the way up to the wing mounts.

Nice sourcing of parts

Car now at top of the "to do" list so has made its way to the little unit ready to be stripped down soon.

Before going into the little unit the delta came out having had a couple of minor issues attended to, the Dedra actually has the same paint code as my integrale, guess it's not that unusual given they were made about a year apart.

Had to get the starter motor overhauled first though, it was incredibly worn, almost too worn but like triggers new broom it's nice to keep the original parts!
