well i'm off to Bill Lewis's tonight to pick up my new floors, he (at my request) has made them too big so that i can trim them down and fold the edges over to suite my car, they have the origional type pressings in them , cant wait to see them or even better fit them! job for the weekend

well i got the floors off bill and what a fantastic job (as usual), i spent the afternoon today joining front and rear floor pans together and trial fitting, this was done with 3 trolley jacks and a pallet truck to hold the floor up into place whilst i marked out where needs joggling and where needed folding, anyway up to now the floor has had its 1st propper trial fit with the edge that meets the sill now folded, i've marked up the other 3 sides for joggling in the morning and hopefully i will have it fitted by tomorrow after noon

dont know as i havent retired yet! real answer not really no i enjoy projects more than anything else more than driving them infact! this is why at 9.25pm i'm still in the unit clearing it out as ANOTHER project arrives tomorrow, this time not one of mine its a job i'm doing for someone else, yes its a Lancia! couldn't work on something that didnt interest me as i do that all day

busy busy weekend, set off on saturday at 6.30 am on a 450mile round trip to pick up the replacement shell for the car thats been nailed riveted and tacked together, the car "we" bought is without doubt rough however FAR better than the other, rot is easy to repair bodging is always a nightmare, anyway i met matty/warby at the unit who was dressed in accordance to the wales rugby match,

after puting the shell away at my mum and dads i got my fulvia out of hybernation as there is a show in manchester this weekend that i'm attending with it and the augusta so wee (me and owen ) gave it a valet, i also managed to start on the o/s floor on the current project and aim to get it in this week

[chugga boom]

ought i'd put some pics up of the fulvia after its valet as i was pleased with the outcome (FOR ONCE!!)

Is that Aprilia now a long wheelbase model - having done the ratchet strap up too tight and streatched it?

If you didn't know what its supposed to look like there's not a lot to copy is there...

Have fun!!

Those floors panels look great and appear to fit very well !

By the way, what is the thing on the roof of the new "car" , just above the driver . I remember seeing it the original advert and wondering about it then.

Lastly, if you still want pictures of bootlid mounts and lid stay let me know, but I suspect you have seen enough now for your needs ....

Bon Courage !
