Hi All,
I've been on this forum for about 18 months, but haven't introduced my 1976 Spider. So here are a few photos of her over the years. Hope you enjoy.
Stripped back to bare metal after the steering conversion and rusty bits cut out
Nice and shiny after paint. Anything that was not red is black
Building her up on the chassis stand
Engine Ready for install
And engine in
Boot done
Interior
One of the Shows I attended
And another show
Let the mods begin. Abarth bumpers and Whoa brakes
And putting the lighter weight and stopping power to good use

Re: Guess it's Time to say hello from Australia (with photos)
What a great story in pics. Well done, the car looks terrific.
The pic while on the track.. are the rear tires a different size or is that an optical illusion or my eyes just knackered.
Any mods to the engine?

Re: Guess it's Time to say hello from Australia (with photos)
The tires on the track are different. Originally I had Pirelli 185/60 R14. The new tires are Yokohama A048 semi-slick 195/60 R14. These tires are in fact 205 wide. Great tires.narfire wrote: The pic while on the track.. are the rear tires a different size or is that an optical illusion or my eyes just knackered.

As for engine mods. I've rebuilt it to a Euro/Aus spec with twin 40mm IDF. I do have a Lancia head that I'm planning to rebuild and some mild cams. Also there is a set of extractors on my work bench that I'm prepping for installation.

What a beautiful build-up! Thank you for all of the pictures. Hey do you have a link for pictures of the Corolla too? I've always loved the 86's. (Not just because of Initial D )
Happy motoring,
Peter
