Maranello House - Fiat, Lancia, Ferrari. Vespa, BSA projects
Hi all.
I've been restoring cars (mainly Italian) and bikes for around 30 years and have managed thanks to helps from experienced friends to learn how to do most things for myself.
My current collection which are always ongoing projects really and in various stages of build/refurbishment
1973 Fiat 500 F
1980 Ferrari 308 GTS which I am currently re-painting and re commissioning to sell due to another project coming later this year I hope.
This is it a while back
and this is it currently.
Lancia integrale Evolution 2
Again once looked like this
and currently looks likes this in prep for paint
Lancia Fulvia Berlina which I've decided to sell as I've to much going on.
Fiat x19 Grand Finale. Belonged to my father and a future refurb
Vespa 50 Special currently on going.
My uncles BSA Sunbeam that he gave to me last year. Again a future resto

Some really lovely motors there - you like your Italian tin don't you? Or do you just have shares in a welding supplies company.....
Great stuff. I'd love to see pictures of the BSA as it goes under your skilled hands..... ?

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

I'd love to post all the work I've done to now on the restorations but it would take to long so I hope the Mods don't mind if I drop a link to my little site were I have kept all my builds. That way I can start from a new point as this seems to be a nice place for like minded people with a lot of variations which is good.

Happy to have the post removed if it is not deemed the right place.

This is exactly the right place and we certainly have no issue with links to your restoration blogs, especially for vehicles as cool as those.
We all like a good restoration blog. Other people working always gives those of us with projects more motivation to get outside with the spanners (or welder, paint gun, etc).
I'll be reading through them "at lunch"

Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Thanks for sharing those links - I love the way your dad set to and stripped the Vespa. His face looks familiar - he's not 'Workshop Phil' from the Car SOS programme is he

I've always been into Italian cars but love some British, French and the odd German stuff to, and anything that little bit different really.Luxobarge wrote:Some really lovely motors there - you like your Italian tin don't you?
My workhorse and I absolutely love it.
And this one is mine I'm told if I can get it down Problem is it was put up with a forklift when there was room for a forklift and now there is ramps but there so no room for a forklift.
