I am not sure I should call my thread a restoration after looking at your pics.. Maybe more an intensive clean thread!

Looking at the pics, it reminds me of a car that's been burnt completely to the ground. Did you need to strip it down quite as much as that?

This could be the best resto yet! I don't think there's any doubt on that one. :-)

Just found your ‘restoration’ thread. Wow! What can I say? This will genuinely be better than a brand new car straight from the factory. I just wish I had the knowledge, workshop facilities, tools, time, money and patience to undertake such a project! Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

WoW! totally awesome. I really think you should put either all black Fiat style recaro's(original option) or have a set of recaro's re-trimmed in either tan or red.
I see you have a plus side skirts being prepped are you going to do a Duffy and have them fitted with stainless fixing points along the sills?
I'm off to have a look at your Stilo thread now =)...can anyone link me to it please?

I've just came across this project Chris, & all I can say is *holy shit* in an extremely great way.... That sir,is some undertaking to say the least. I can't add anything else, & that says a lot for me.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Duffy was just fluffing around the edges. I haven`t seen the fuel line protection before, I wondered if it was for a specific market. Back in the day I found your project a great source of inspiration, glad to see it again.

I don’t know if the fuel line protection was for a specific market, i think It was just an item that I saw on eper, that I ordered!. I must admit, it has been a long time since I posted anything on this vehicle, like most complete restorations, unless you have a bucket load of money, and all the time in the world, they seem to come to a sudden stop. Plus with loads of other stuff going on, which takes priority, get forgotten about. However. Now that I’ve moved to West Sussex, have built a huge garage, just need to get the vehicle down from London, and I can know just plod along finishing it off, I hope😬

Hi Chris
Wow! I thought I was doing a pretty Thorough resto on mine, but not compared to this. I'll start a project thread very soon and the car will be at the NEC in November (God willing).
I see you're now in West Sussex. Not so far from me in the Isle of Wight then. I do hope you'll call in on me if you're ever over. PM me, or see you at the NEC perhaps?
Cheers
Andrew
