Had a great run out across the Forest of Dean getting onto the entrance of an old Special Stage of the RAC Rally at Speech House.
The weather for February was 15c beautiful sunshine and great fun.
Heading to France in 2 weeks to get some fettling done at Woodrim Cars, pics to follow.

That is looking lovely! And just need to go on a long trip abroad to get a couple of things done. Yes of course, of course...   |

I have Crystal Palace tags from the late 90’s plus plenty in Europe.
He certainly used the car, when it was collected in France having been stored since his passing it was covered in dead flies!
What a character he must have been the car is a testament to his love for the Fulvia.
Somewhere I have pictures of Stan, David and me at the Lydden Hill sprint, and possibly the programme. My first event, but from memory Stan was competing in the national championship. He was an absolute gent. We stayed in touch until he moved abroad, very sad he's no longer with us. |

Thank you for your comments,I would have loved to have known Stan he certainly loved this Fulvia and hopefully he would be happy with how it looks now. Had a spirited drive 80 mile run around Herefordshire today, it really does perform well, apart from the heater!! Any pics you have or info would be great if you could share,regards Julien. |

Just back from France 🇫🇷 all front suspension bushes replaced. Gear box and engine mounts replaced. Heater hoses replaced. Modified alloy lamp brackets for the 9 inch Super Oscars. Wiper gaskets replaced. Numerous other fettling completed. Car sits equal front and rear, the bushes well worn and have transformed the car. |

Looks great. I assume you had to drop the front subframe to replace all those bushings?

To be honest some came out quiet easily and some not so. No need to drop the subframe. |

Oooh! that does look good.
Reminds me to have another look at some old B&W photos I have in the attic. One of them I took was of a works Fulvia blasting through the Forest of Dean in the night in the mid 70s near Speech House. IF I can find it I'll post it here.

It’s almost the weekend and the sun is shining so time to get out on some rural lanes around Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
With the front suspension overhauled the car is now totally transformed.

Today I have made a generic quilted boot liner fit my Fulvia boot.
Not perfect but I am liking the quilted effect that was on lots of Italian cars in the 60’s and 70’s
2nd hand rubber ones fetch top dollar!
