Ciao Enzo
It's a pity that I didn't know before you sold your nice 037 recreation kit ... which it interested me for joining my both "Lancia rally" cars!
Countach is really looking gorgeous! Congrats for your new toy!! :)
Is it one Prova rebuild? Which engine? Seen same one in yellow paint for sale here few months ago!
I think you will enjoy a lot with it!
The project 037!
Not enough time to finish it.
I should have finished it immediately,
When I started in 2013.
Here the last pictures tomorrow he goes away.
When I see this, I see it's sad didn't finished the project! :(
So did you have a hard time finding support for the 037 work, unlike the stratos which has this excellent forum? Just curious as it is a project which I find pretty cool.
Ciao Enzo
As I see your very nice 037 kit on your pics , I can understand your feeling to unfinish it and your sadness to sell it!
For sure it's a pity! I hope the new owner ( maybe someone from SEC?) will appreciate the good deal he done and will have enough Time and interest to complete the 037!
Still sorry to know that too late because I would have a lot interest to build or to buy one 037 recreation like yours!
I think your sad feelings leave you when you got the Countach in your garage!! ;)
I migliori auguri a voi e buon Natale
saluti Federico

Frederic You know them I guess ??
Hi Enzo, good luck with the sale.
Looking at the wheels you have, Canonica, i just seen these on Petrolicious: http://petrolicious.com/just-because...eautiful-thing
Look a bit different, but i like them.
Anyone know what make or type?
Yes Michel I know Christophe Vaison and his team
they are actually the reference in 037 recreation after rebuilding one 037 group B with which they won many VHC races like Tour de Corse in 2014 and 2015!
In their team they prepared sometimes Stratos gp 4!
Now they sell another 037 recreation with HTP for historic rallies theirs recreations are better than real 037 one and less expensive

For Sale Lancia 037 evo 2 with original documents.Car was fully rebuild and tune by Vaison sport(FR) to suit FIA regulation (rollcage). Car very performant and ready to race ( Winner of "tour de corse historique" 2014 and 2015). Can be sale with spare partsAttachment 10686

They are built like Gotti wheels ???? same type of center foundry edges , same type of spun rims ?
Could be bespoke serie from early Gotti production ??
Found Gotti wheels that look like the Canonica. And found Roin technology with some wheels that look like above, these are Porsche wheels, but Roin can do any PCD as Gotti has fixed PCD.

Another problem almost solved, I was missing lock barrels in my door handles so i bought X 1/9 barrels to try and they fit although they are a bit longer at the back ( but that can be solved ).
Left is new X 1/9 barrel fitted and right is original handle with original barrel ( but no key ).

Some Gottis here:

OK next challenge: i have almost all lights except from the number plate light. They are not all the same on the existing cars but this one seems mostly used. Anyone an idea what car this comes from?
Try Hella???

Ok ,
Some good news from Mick Covill ( Rally Legend Replica's ), He has just finished my front subframe including suspension and steering parts. Also had the doors made from fibreglass as that was the only body parts i was missing.
Probably will be collecting them soon, taking the ferry at Hull with my 900cc Fiat Panda ;)
Love to see the UK again, last time i was there with the Stratos at Stoneleigh, seems like ages ago.
Cheers,
Pim
As the VX supercharger is a bit to small to get some more power i am going to try another supercharger that looks almost the same as the volumex: Toyota SC14 not common in Europe but in the States and Australia there seem to be some around.
Just got this one via E bay, they are a lot cheaper than the Eaton superchargers. Hope this will work.
Now looking for a 2 ltr ( or bigger ) 16 valve engine that has the looks of the Abarth 16valve from the 037. Has to have the intake on the left and exhaust on the right.
Here some pictures of my supercharger.
Attachment 10980Attachment 10981Attachment 10982
Think the later small Mercedes convertible has a screw supercharger as standard, good for 1 bar boost.
I am going to use a 16V "Intergrale" head on my replica. It is possible to swap the cams 180 degrees. There is a guy in Spain who has done this modification on a Seat/Fiat RWD Rally car. If you look on the Guy Croft web site there is some information.
I will also make my own valve covers with Abarth cast into the top.
Cheers

Heads are manufactured, 10 minutes away from me:
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
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. :)
Hello Pim
can wait to watch at your new parts !!!
Enjoy your travel and hope your delivery will be ook !!
Just post pics soonly !!!:o
Hi Stephan,
Mid October.... not far away then... Time you joined the SEC Club and had full access to the forum where the builds are... only £26.10 the best £26 you will spend on the car I can tell you...
Hear Hear !
I made it to the UK and back safely with my little 900cc Panda. Most of the parts in the car but the rear subframe on top of the roof tightly tied to the jack points underneath the car :cool:. It was nice to meet Mick Covill in the flesh a very nice bloke ready to help me any way. Had a chance to look at 2 cars in his workshop he was building for other clients and of course took many pictures. Here ar some pictures :
Hi Pim
these parts are looking nice! The rear subframe on the roof of your Fiat Panda seems a bit acrobatic and not easy for driving...happy to know you are back safely at home!
Hurry to see the progress on your 037 built and still in touch together for further informations about registration
Cheers
Frederic
Very nice parts !!
Probably avery enjoying trip for you :o
Well i have started a build logg on facebook for those interested: https://www.facebook.com/Pims-Lancia...?ref=bookmarks

Hello Pim
I will follow your built very attentivly !!!!
Trying to get the Alpine ready for paint in May or June. 037 is coming along nicely. Any help needed sourcing this part the surround of the gear stock, anyone have any idea if it is a one of ( just 037 ) or is it from another car?
