Fisher Fury, impuse buy!
Discussion
I'm still enjoying it to much to rip apart 
First time I've actually cleaned it, gave it a quick hit with the DA as well as it's covered in micro scratches and marks. .came up ok, I think I'm going to spend a weekend 1500/2000 sanding it then polish it back up. But those of you that. know what I do for a living know it's quite likely to get a wrap, and I've already picked a colour. But I've got this nagging idea of doing a distressed period livery so it looks like it's just finished an endurance race?

I've decided on a plan. And spent way too much money this weekend pretty sure coke and hookers would be cheaper at this point! Although I did get some bargains on the manifold and itbs of face ache. And aleast although very close (fingers crossed) it's not forced my hand like the 205 did!
We're going valve springs, dcoe style itbs. And rev till it rolls over/throws a rod. Then I'll boost it next year when it doesn't make enough power this NA malarkey is way to complicated and expensive for not a lot of gains
I think we're going to need a solution for her hair
All jokes aside, I think if I get this looking nice and tidy all the shabby bits up sort the major rattles. With a clean and tidy engine bay that I'm not ashamed to showoff. I think that will do for now. If it makes any where near 130 bhp that would be Mega too.

Lovely work, OP!
I think Furys look great, and especially-so in Oxford Blue, but then - I am enormously biased (details on mine in profile ....)
I've just spent a weekend looking at mine and working out what, and moreover, how and where, to re-commission mine. I put it away the autumn before covid landed - and it has gone nowhere since for a very small handful of life-hassle-related reasons (all resolved) Not good - but I can't bear the idea of getting rid: full re-commission in the New year, I hope...

Starting to get a parts in. And a plan together! Excuse my hand writing . Just getting my head around the requirements for the loom and what I need to root to where. As I want this to be nice and tidy no excess wiring or bodges.
I've got a track day in the 208 at anglsea Saturday the 4th so realistically not going to get much done before. But then depending on the weather I might start pulling bits apart the weekend.

Nice! It's certainly on it's way to being fully sorted, whatever that means!
FWIW, I really like how it looks at the moment in dark blue, with the bare alloy valve covers. It almost has a period vibe about it, which suits the shape / live axle / Fiat twin cam setup.
I don't hate the blue, trouble is the gel coat Finish is a bit battered and it wasnt the best Finish to start with. These also a lot of repairs to do.

I'm either going to wrap it a colour that suits it or a period livery.

as it will be promo for my buisness, i dont want to do one that has been done before. and im thinking i should use a delta livery as thats where the engines from.although Aitalia was up there on the list howver its been done and done really well.
so im either thinking esso
or one of my altime favorit liverys! Bastos, and patrick snijers raced an early Goupe A delta in Bastos colours.
the other nice thing is its not to heaby on lancia branding as its not a lanica i dont want to confuse people.

Bastos looks good but looks like it specifically suits a boxy car. I like the alitalia livery, strange car choice to put it on in that pic above!
It wasnt me i agreee though its abit odd, isnt there a chrysler connectrion between fiat and dodge? very tenious 
pretty sure we can make it workl . also from the front wheel arch to the rear the fur is actually basically flat.

that m3 ! Got some good stuff arriving now. The temptation to get stuck in is high! But I know I've not got the time to do much this next few weeks. I guess if it rains all weekend and there's no wind for my other hobbies. I'll not be able to help myself.
I've been super nervous of the itb to steering column clearance as number 3&4 ports are directly inline with the column. I think we will be ok not ideal as I really want to run a px600 filter. But don't think I'll have room. I might still piecut the manifold to kick it up above them.
So I'm pretty confident we're good on getting the itbs in but not much room for rampipes or a filter.
Also got these as well so I'm bloody itching to get started but the 208 needs some love before it gets fully abused in Wales next weekend.
