Here she is folks, a 4 owner 73 GTV 2000, with a shoddy repaint but a ton of character.
Little bit of rot here and there, but nothing compared to the Lancia Beta I used to have...
Chasing more history of the old girl, so if anyone recognizes her drop me a line.
Nice coupe you have there....
IMO white looks good on any of the 105 coupes, just get rid of the protection strips and it'll be sweet!
Doesn't look too bad in the pics, how bad is the bodywork and where?
Cheers.
Thanks, but the rub strips have been there for a looooong time, and pulled the paint when I tried to remove them. They'll have to stay until she is repainted.
There isn't any visible rot, just a little bit in the boot and the front valance.
By the time rust is visible ....
Sorry, did I say visible?
I meant "visible".
There's a big difference between a few patch repairs, and fabricating an entire passenger floor, and inner and outer sills, as I did with my Beta!

Fairy nuff... I'm considering how much to leave in to ensure my resto is concourse (factory rust and no second gear) :P
