I owned this since 85= punted it around in 85/86/87 along with my 81 Moto Guzzi Le Mans iii ( bought in 83).
Unfortunately the Guzzi has long gone but the Lancia is still with me!!!

A 1978 Lancia Monte Carlo , a 2ltr mid engine 2 seater . Bigger than a Fiat X-19 . About the size of a Triumph TR 7.

Thanks
Even though it's a complete car = having driven, yeah gonna need alot of luck and patience
There are problems when you have to many projects. Time & money!
Problem I need to spend x amount (usually $1000s of dollars) on project 1 & 1000s of hours? But l need to do the same with project 2, 3 & 4. I'm undecided on project 5, 6, & 7 whether to even start them, because l'm getting bored with projects 1, 2, 3, & 4? ;) Know what l mean?:) hahaha

Keep plodding along dude you'll eventually get there.

Should have told her to be afraid...if you finish it you'll probably rip it apart & rebuild it again rinse/repeat

Yeah this has not been a priority or of interest for along time.
Unfortunately for this the two Holdens will be a priority, vision where I want them for quite some time but stuff is slowly taking shape for hopefully that to start next year.

OPps might add the blue in that 2nd photo is what I'm thinking of not standard but a Lancia period colour ( just not this model).
Was originally a lite metalic blue =am rethinking do I stay stock??
