You're making this look too easy...   Try as I might I can't see you breaking a sweat on the tailgate.  Maybe the Aprilia engine will be a squeeze and demand some thinking but again I can't imagine you struggling with it.   What you need NOW is a PROPER challange.   How about turning a pile of Aprilia spares into one of these?

Went looking for more pictures and stumbled on this story below.  You'd be in good company...

http://www.eurocarblog.com/post/722/an-original-car-lancia-develops-the-aprilia-sport-zagato

I know there were a number of special bodied Aprilias - but that Pagani is my favourite.

That particular car also has a cris-cross flow head .

beyond my capabilities i'm afraid, but if ever an aprillia chassis with no body were to turn up then maybe, i was looking at buying an aprillia chassis earlier this year but unfortunatly it sold while i was trying to do a deal, never mind, aprilia engine, well we've done alot of measuring between the truck and 1 of our aprilias, the width isn't a problem + the ardea enginebay is actually taller than the aprilia! length wise its alot shorter , we are going to try a bare crank case head and rocker cover in situe to see if we stand a chance without serious modifications to the body, will keep you posted

tailgate and appeture is next to do, we've been thinking about how to do it and come up with an idea that we're both happy with, if you look at the photo on the previous page you can see how curved the back end is!!!, its going to be a bit of a challenge especially to make it hinge propperly as well, i know how i'm making the fram and skin , its just the hinging thats goin to cause head aches Huh?

There's something similar here - a bare shell for €200 in Turin. An Appia I know but it may be of interest to Lancia Ute lovers nonetheless ..... or maybe they are as common as muck?

...alongside this "raro" classic...

The formula Panda was a new one on me.  But there must be something about 1950s Italy as the one that jumped out at me was this one:-

Anyone been there?   The "group shots" half way down this page (link below) show the scale.

Hi Superchugga,

It's looking great, Jacks going to have to reserve at least 3 issues of "Viva Lancia" alone for you, when you get around to doing your write up with photos Grin

But being serious for a moment, how could you have ever imparted all that you've done on this project alone, in VL Huh? perhaps a taster needs to go in VL a with a direct link to this this subject.

What I like about the photos is that it makes my Augusta chassis repairs look like NOTHING.  As I come to the end of the painting I look and think about a big patch and a long weld, or little patches, or replace whole sections and just have to weld the ends.  Looking at my project this morning - stepping back - ANY of the solutions are a walk in the park next to what you're achieving on this project - ANY of them are workable - ANY way I tackle it shouldn't take all that much time - the key is to just keep "chugging" on at it.

Great to see - learning loads - and an inspiration...

...as for Viva Lancia any of us could report on this in the same way as might write up a visit to Jim Stokes workshop...   To me (as a reader) its as valid and interesting to report a spectators view of the restoration as for Chugga to tell the story himself.

However I'm going not going to write it as I'd rather spend that time pushing my own project forwards.

Another thought - could a Viva article be a "visitors book" for the project?  Would something like my last posting sit right in Viva Lancia as one of a dozen or so different reactions to the project?  We'd each write from a few words to a paragraph.  Jack could pick his favorite photos and include a note that these are six of the sixty or whatever it is now.

Just trying the think of the middle ground between the way a forum grows and how a traditional article gets written.  Thinking about it sometimes an event like the Sliding Pillar or the AGM gets that "visitors book" write up.
