:o I'd be interested to know the back story to the car, obviously its been rotting for ever but someone had $$ to have it restored.

Yup it just shows that ramhorn manifolds are nothing new. These 80's rally cars are what started the whole ricer body kit ----. Kids wanted their gti's to look like a rally car.

The thing is beautiful. I really wish they had pics of that lancia delta that you can see the headlights of in the last pic.

Christ. They even used stainless lines for the vaccum line of the turbo compressor housing

I'll bet that cost a fortune to have done.

I wonder what the purpose of all that was? There are much better cars to start with, so that rally car must have meant something to someone.

If you go to there main web page, theres a project gallery featuring other cars including several lancia deltas.

Its funny to see cars around 2 decades old using the same techniques/parts that the gods of HT have bestowed upon us ::) They must have traveled back in time to build these.
