Gearbox source is less identifiable than an engine so we might just get away with it, I think? We wouldn't want Enzo to get barred from any Italian car meets on the source of his gearbox now would we!
As long as you didn't own up?!Quote:

John, you can see it's being craned out of an Allora?!Quote:

Wasn't there an Abarth version of the 037 with a V6?? I think they only made two of them.
Here it is it looks horrible but the transformation from Montecarlo to 037 can begin!
after 500 km to Amberg in Bavaria with top weather sunny and + 4° 500 km
back to Bergheim - 5° and 20 cm snow! crazy world normaly in Bavaria at this time are min 2 mtr snow!
Enzo :rolleyes:
Don't throw those group 4 arches away Enzo?
Canon Monte rally car
Now, that really looks like an ebay special!
no Chris!
i will sold it, i know the parts are very rare the car is a Hörmann Montecarlo first owner
build by Hörmann in Kempten, and i have also the front spoilers left and right!

Do you know if those panels (spoilers and arches) still available?
Here is Stig driving one.
No i don't know!Quote:

i found this pic on old forum side.
grazie Enzo
Not sure who supplies them for the corse, but I think Ultima use a similar one....
Gardner Douglas now supply the cast uprights.
There may be other alternative sources close by on here.......
Enzo,
I can get you a quote possibly?
The uprights take a Ford Granada Scorpio Wheel bearing, 5 x 112mm pcd, 63.5mm centre bore.
Drop me a mail if you need any help.
Thanks Craig, mail is on the way!
and some news i saw our forum member Mick Covill do it also!
here some picture, but he is a little in advance like me!
The New Zealand kit comes with a complete suspension.
Better to optimise geometry and have some billet items machined instead of trying to adapt something from a different car. Price wouldnt be a great deal different, just a bit of CAD time. Iirc, the 037 rear upright be it straight from or copied in ally, came from an idler on an Iveco armoured car.
Enzo,
Just use the rear chassis and running gear off your 3.4t !
Think if I was going to the trouble of building a replica 037, i'd do it right and copy all the uprights, otherwise I think the value would suffer, as has been seen before only a couple of years ago. Do it once and do it right.
Someone here may be able to confirm if this upright, shown here on the back of a Delta S4 is the same as the one on the 037?
Attachment 3667
There is a good set of S4 pics here
Look the same to me. Think the early focus wrc used a modified version.
The 037 rally car I'm comparing Craig's S4 photo with, has wheels fitted, so it's hard to see the whole upright. What I can see of it, does look like a similar casting.
The chassis on the 037 doesn't look half as accomplished as the S4 one. Even down to little things like the anti droop cables. It's as if the 037 was a development hack for some elements of the S4? Obviously not the 4WD and turbo bit.
It did become the develpment hack, even to the tune of 4wd and they did try Turbo's.
Here some pictures! 037 front and rear upright!
All original style parts available from here if you have some deep pockets then.
Similar price to Roberto's cast stratos uprights. Guess its the going rate.
It's funny? You could build a new 037, right down to the last little detail. It's possible.
It's a much longer shot, but you could even build a group 4 Stratos.
However, it's seen as if, you're 'crossing a line', by entering such a car in a Historic event. Even if you've managed to get hold of car on paper only (that is, the identity of a homologation run chassis number).
And yet, very few Twin Cam, RS1600 or RS1800 entered in UK historic rally events actually carry the ID of the homologation run cars that they are supposed to be based on. 'Far more likely that a Chevette, or Ascona would start life as one of the 400 off run.
Then you think, well, "is it ok to build a 131 Abarth replica? The difference here being that the bodyshell is modified almost to group 4 as standard, whereas the Escort group 4 modifications are all fabricated and added to the standard shell after factory production.
Very nice book on the 037 - expensive though! As the seller says, pages do stick together so if you get one, put it in the fridge for an hour or two in a plastic bag and that'll do the job!

Hi,
someone knows the part number "charger timing belt" from the VX engine with no power steering?
grazie Enzo
Does the old belt have a reference number on it? You could try counting the teeth? When I had a VX in my car I just measured the run the belt covered and went to a belt supplier called Fenner in Liverpool and they found one. Never needed to replace it.

Guy
Yes agree I got the belt i used for the Vx to length from a local engineering / Gear supplier
Rob
I know that Guy Croft uses a shorter belt on some of his VX engines, you could ask him. My VX coupe went really well after a few of his mods.
