Way too many years have passed since we received this white Fulvia s2 coupe. The car was purchased in Gauteng and actually made it all the way to Cape town on its own steam.

We did suggest to first look at the mechanical, as it is uncomfortable to do mechanical repairs on a newly sprayed vehicle. This is is how the story started.
In the following we will give some photographic highlights of what we found. Virtually everything we opened was broken one way or another and needed attention. Most of the damage however did not come form the ages but was man made. I will start with the current issue:

We got this Fulvia S1 car form the steel worker, who did some major repairs to the body. Now the car is supposed to go the the spray painter to be covered in Lancia blu. I am supposed to do the final checkup. The client has a simple requirement: he is happy if I am happy. Now lets have a look what is missing for my happiness:
The floor looks all very happy, neat strong and clean.. but stop... where will the throttle pedal go to ? Unlike the Beetle or the Porsche it is not hanging from the top, but mounted on the floor.
