    I will also make my own valve covers with Abarth cast into the top.

    Hi Pim, It's RallySport Development.
    Normally aspirated 131 engines are more than £30k, so I'd guess a complete head is going to be at least £8k, but probably more like £10k.
    Small batch casting orders are not cheap?!

    Hi Pim,

    I have been busy with my family and building our new house for the last few years. I have just got back from a holiday in Europe where I went to a round of the Historic WRC. There was 4 037's competing which was fantastic so it has fired me up to start working on my car. I also picked up a few small bits and pieces which was good.

    Cheers

    Piers

    Re: 037 Recreation

    Part by part its coming together. Now the rear subframe is also finished by Mick and he is now making the rear suspension parts for me ( wishbones and uprights ). Also had some sheet metal parts made to finish up the front end.
    So i can have a rollin chassis if i order some wheels from: https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...sSA-3I2tMXsrsg

    Finally the time has come to pick up both subframes and suspension at Mick Covill. Looking forward meeting him and talking about the build.
    Tonight i take the ferry to Hull and will arrive in the UK at the morning.
