Looks good. When I built and raced mine a few years back (Evo1) I did something very similar with the fuel system, and it had to be fully paneled in from the passenger compartment.I even paneled in all the holes in the sides of the boot.
One issue I had was the pick up position in the tank, which I put at the front, through a lift pump, to a 1.5 litre swirl pot, to a injection pump then to the rail. This meant that as the car accelerated hard with say less than half a tank of fuel, it ran away from the pickup then emptied the swirl pot causing it to missfire. - blooming frustrating in a race I can tell you!
Turned it around as soon as I got it home after that
I like your rear diff cradle. Nice bit of work.
Well at last the finishing line is nearly here for the body work anyway, Sean as got no finger tips left with all the rubbing down he as done over the past 5 weeks. Dave no more projects like this one !!!!!!!!!!

I'm loving this It's nice to see it all coming together, I bet you are struggling to get a proper sleep you must be so excited! I've been out in my Integrale today in the sunshine looking all shiny after it's recent paintjob, love it. It makes it even more of an occasion going out in your Integrale when you've not had it for so long. Watching this whole process from the car arriving in its unfettled state to seeing each step of the project is very enjoyable. It's going to be fantastic fun on track.

I keep scanning the classifieds on here looking for an excellent standard one, but I think that unless I wish to become a Eunoch (sp?) I'd better not purchase without telling SWMBO .... I've a habit of chopping in cars for something else without her knowledge.

Hi,
Well the planned finished date was May this year to coincide with the Lancia Motor Club Goodwood track day. This was just a date to aim for but I think it will be the far end of summer before the car is ready for a shake down on a track day. To be fair I have written off this year so this gives us more time to gets things looking even better.
Thanks for the kind words and sorry for the boring pics, will try harder when there's more to show.
Cheers,
David.
