Re: PESO 2023 - Fulvia special - GDG
Thanks guys!
I had the little beastie out yesterday: It has become a very fun car to drive
and enjoy. Looks good, handles well, makes a lovely and not overbearing sound,
and is remarkably comfortable given how teensy it is (the length of a Mazda
Miata but 9 inches narrower!).
The Lancia Fulvia Coupé is so rare to see on the road nowadays that every time
I stop somewhere, a half a dozen passers by will stop, do a double take, and
take photos of it with their phones. There can be a gathering of a dozen
Porsche or Miata owners in the grocery store parking lot, and they all come
racing over to gawk at my dinky little Italian classic... LOL!

Re: PESO 2023 - Fulvia special - GDG
Looks good. The wheels still have a Lancia personality, and the removal of the
chrome strips is in keeping with competition versions of the Fulvia I’ve seen.

While I was in the hospital, my classic Italian sports carthe 1967
Lancia Fulvia Coupwas in the body shop having some rust repair
of the rocker panels done. I'm out of the hospital now, and Signora Fulvia is
also back at home.
In the course of doing the rust repair, I changed its looks a little bit by
painting the rocker panels a textured flat black, instead of the matched tan
body color, and removed the original chrome trim strips that ran under the
doors on both sides.
The result came out just as I'd hoped: A slightly trimmer, sportier look and
more in keeping with the early '70s Cromodora wheels that I've now got fitted
than the late '60s Campagnolo rally wheels that I'd had on the car before.

While that was being done, I had also located the original badging for the rear
("LANCIA Fulvia" in fine chrome on the transom) and a pair of the 'bumper
support' caps that cover the spots in the bodywork where the rear bumper
supports used to come through

because everyone, or at least *almost* everyone, with a Lancia Fulvia
Coup removes the bumpers to make the car look more like the Lancia
Fulvia rally cars that won so many races in the late 1960s-early 1970s. :)

Oh yes: My partner, Felipe, picked the car up for me a few days before I
returned home. He made a few snaps of it with his phone to show me what had
been done. I put them together into a short video presentation, just for the
fun of it:
