- Since the last report, the engine and suspension have been rebuilt, so now it's time to take the body shell to the specialist paint shop to be stripped back to metal and repainted. Sounds simple but is it going to be..

Harry Metcalfe - The patron saint of auto restoration.
Major qualification to being a saint is to be dead! Thankfully he's still with us.
@C. Fecteau-AU-MJ13 But, but, Jay is still with us, no ?? Why you di you "HAD an empire" ?
@@marcryvon what?
Hi Harry: the orange color for your car was "Rosso San Siro" and its number was "192"
That was the orangey-red on the Fulvia Sport catalog between 1970-72.
Yes, that's the one, thanks! Looking forward to seeing it in that colour, even though I did like the car in black..
@@harrysgarage Four thin(1" wide) Metallic Black stripes thru the middle of the Car should do it. Try it on a piece of paper.
@@harrysgarage that original color is quite bad. You get used to it like an ugly mug, but never ceases to look bad...
@@harrysgarage do yourself a favour and keep it black. Such an elegant car in it.
As much as I love the vids and the restauration projects, the thought of this great car ending up in this horrid orange instead of the nice black is simply heartbreaking
I'm on the verge of having my '66 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT repainted. Your videos inspire me to get this done, yet at the same time are terrifying for what we might find under the paint. Bravely-ish, I'll move forward.
Begin in automn, just to be sure you can drive it in spring next year...
Stay the course Stephen. Don't sway. Crowd funding may be sought.....
I can only sa GOOD luck, brave Stephen ! 🤞
Fingers crossed! 🙃🤞
I hope you were still in time to watch the paint stripping video before going ahead with your purchase :)
How can anyone give this a 👎. Thanks Harry brilliant review it’s great following the progress of this car.
The engineering in that front subframe is exquisite - it looks almost modern!
The transverse leaf spring is a bit odd however
Lancia from middle 50's to the early 80's when Fiat took over was such ahead in engineering chassis and engines. Then everything became ''cutting corners and costs'' what a shame.
@@TheAndre8900 Feels like everything thst had something woth fiat went down... lancia, alfa, fiat itself (I mean just look at thr redesign time frame and new models time frame...), layer on FCA. I really hope they won't screw PSA now as more competition is betternfor us customers.
Mercedes using die cast and fabricated ally sub frames on the 2000 s class, tesla and their giga press doing the same now.
@@TheAndre8900 Lancia bankrupted itself twice with poor choices, overseen first by Gianni Lancia in 1956 and second by Fessia into the early 70s. FIAT bailed out a company with a badly aging product rang. Using outside expertise and parts, Lancia built Statos, Beta, Integrale, plus competition cars ( Abarth project numbers) like 037, S4, GpA I ntegrale, LC3 etc. Be grateful to Fait, all those cars used Fiat money and running gear (or Ferrari V6 in acouple of cases.)
Those little V4 engines are jewels
She is gonna be a beaut Harry
I’ve decided that this is my favourite car of all time. No question. That cheeky, sporty, Italian-ness is just right.
What a beautiful little engine!
It would be a great design today for a compact hatch
Totally agree. In the early 90’s I worked at a motor museum that had two Lotus (Colin Chapman) test & development shallow V4 engines. They looked almost exactly the same as the lotus twin cam units that we all know, but we’re slightly wider & had crudely engineered wider rocker covers. I don’t think they were ever used in production & those two lotus V4’s are the only ones I’ve ever known of.
Best Sunday night viewing by far.
This was wonderful. As a child, I used to be incredibly fascinated with television shows that showed the processes involved in how things were made. As an adult I find watching proper craftsmen such as these, who have the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to essentially "re-make" something such as your Fulvia Zagato, to be even more fascinating.
I'm so glad there are people like Harry that spend the money to keep these classics in good nick.
Another fabulous video Harry. Really enjoyed that. Thank you. So good that you take on restoring beautiful cars like this so a few of them stay on the road. And great to see the various specialists that still exist in this country doing the required work.
Always a joy, Thanks Harry.
Nothing better than a British ‘shed’ and skilled people
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I’m looking forward to your next visit. I recall some 55 years ago helping a local farmer put the engine back into his Fulvia HF after it received some terminal damage on a local club rally! He asked me if I could help lift the engine and gearbox as a unit back into the body. As I had a Mini at the time I couldn’t see how this was as easy as he claimed but it turned out to be relatively simple job and only took a day. It was a beautiful little car and whilst I now have an MG I’ve always admired both the Fulvia’s but alas I’m now too old to enjoy one.
Harry the farmer came out...." did you paint that rocker cover"...."no...just cleaned it up"....Harry..."Be still my beating heart"...Full kudos to you for keeping these little chems on the road...my experiences with Lancia was a Fulvia 1600..and a Beta HPE vulomex....never to be repeated.
I had a HPE Volumex as a daily driver, it went to live in Singapore 🇸🇬.
can't wait for the episode of the XJC restoration.
the subframe mounted drivetrain is lovely. Thanks for the video!
A very nice dark blue Lancia Flavia Coupe in the background. I remember seeing one of these as kid in 1965, and was stunned at just how beautiful it was, made every other car look very archaic and crude.
jag and lancia this is what I'm happy to see! Can"t wait to see them finished!
You know I gotta admit I'm kinda sad that it turns out the damage to the jag was caused by a morris marina in scotland, and not something cool, as I was kinda hoping he had a gangster Jag that had seen some action back in the day, not a feud with some morris's like Mr Bean with those Reliant Robins lol
Not forgetting the Artic Rolls 🤪🤪👍🏻
@@grievuspwn4g3 let's pretend they were!
These restoration videos are fast becoming my favorite Harry, thank you so much for doing these things RIGHT!
Relaxing, informative, inspiring, engaging, joyful stuff. You really are top drawer Mr Metcalf.
This is just great …. Cannot wait to see this little work of automotive art completed. It’s gonna be a real beauty.
I love the subtle way Harry is putting a touch of pressure on the guys. "So I'll be back in three weeks..." ! 🤣🤣
Meaning "Don't you put my car on the back burner..." Ha !
Incredibly excited to see her done. She will be a bella donna ! Harry thanks for keeping these special cars on the road.
The quality of craftmen Harry has talent of finding must be his biggest talent
Have you seen him separate the chaff from 6 row barley?
@@patricklinkous lol, good point
The money he is prepared to throw at these restorations kind of helps. Read that backwards, if the quality wasn't off the map at the prices he is paying, something would be badly wrong with the universe
To this old mechanic, the engineering looks a joy.
That will be a beautiful Lancia in Orange with black stripe.
That Lancia body restoration would be a prime candidate to do a full length time lapse over the entire restoration if the good gentlemen would agree to this.
It would be wonderful to see the car take shape.
Harry you do not only good deeds for car entertainment for all of us viewers but also mighty good deeds for car cuture and our car heritage for taking care of thesa mighty fine vehicles!
Great thanks and three cheers for Harry.
Big thanks from Sweden
Love the videos of the Lancia and The Jag. Thanks Harry.
You know you're at the right place when you're mechanic doesn't like to make a mess. Even if his bubble-wrap cleanliness plays havoc with your sound editing 😉. Lancia's little v4 looked beautiful. Can't wait til it's done.. cheers Harry 👍.
From 16:00 to 19:00, the soundtrack from outdoors was fantastic.
As this progresses more and more, I cant wait to see your face on the first voyage when hearing that little engine rev.
Was very glad when he put that plastic wrap down🤣
Look at how advanced all of that aluminium castings were compared to what the Brits were doing at the time.
The debate on colour is interesting. Black is a swine to maintain: shows every swirl mark, every speck of dust, every bit of bird poo; but it also shows off the lines to perfection, and does look elegant, as well as revealing the creativity and thought that Spada put into the shaping on the shell. The red is rather garish in my view, and while it draws the eye, it doesn’t do the car any favours when your gaze gets there. It also makes it a little more difficult to travel “under the radar”; you’re always going to get noticed in a red version, whereas the black allows an element of stealth to be applied. I repainted my Fulvia Sport a few years back, from its former beige to Lancia’s traditional deep blue, blu lord. Ten years on I still think it looks great. Whatever we all say, Harry, it’s your car: I’m sure you’ll paint it whatever colour you like, and the result will be fascinating. Thanks for a very interesting series.
Loving the Fulvia restoration, even more than the Jag project. Great work once again, Harry.
Can’t wait to see the jag and fulvio parked up together all shiny!
The gang of guys doing this Lancia seem like 'proper fellas' who know their stuff.
I'm really looking forward to the next instalment, and when the car is finished.
You’re the brave one Harry, you’re paying the bill. Great episode love these restoration updates!
I’m loving following these restorations, fascinating 👍
Currently my favourite project of Harry’s 👍👍👍. All tradesmen involved are at the top of their game. Britain at its BEST 🇬🇧
Full respect due to Harry for pressing on with this and with the Jag.
The vynil was killing me! :D Thank [whoever] he puts it down arround 8 minutes and something :)
that mechanic noising around is extremely annoying indeed
He was holding on to it as tight as you would your new born baby 😂
I enjoy the normal car reviews but I enjoy the restoration videos even more. My favourites are the road trips but obviously the last 18m hasn’t been a great time for road trips.
Good job! Yes, road trips aren't easy at the moment and now harvest on the farm is here, I'm going to be busy with that for a few months..
Wow, this restoration is proving to be so interesting. The engine with those webber carbs is looking good after being refurbished & I can't wait to see what magic the body shop can do with the shell of this car.......stripping all the paint off by hand? That's one major job for starters! Keep up the great work & already looking forward to the next installment.
The orange would be a great choice, a uniquely funky 70's colour and original too....a great combo!
Good to see your doing your bit to keep the restoration industry going in England Harry 👍👍
What a cute and tiny little beauty! Great power to weight ratio, (I’m sure Colin Chapman would have approved of it) 👍😊
I can’t wait to see this finished it’s a really good looking little car
The floors are sorted; now we deal with everything else.
With the thin sheet metal, it’s about like fixing a broken eggshell. The car is in good hands and no doubt will soon be proper again. Great video.
Yes Harry, So glad your talking us on these wonderful journeys’ 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for keeping us up to date, Harry, looking forward to the next one.
Absolutely fascinating to watch, thanks as always Harry.
Just noticed the Alfa Romeo Brera in the background! Would love a video on that!!
Great series Harry
Love the vids , can’t wait to see the artic rolls and jag next
Keep em coming
Nice little workshop that!
Thank you for such an interesting video! Can’t wait for the next instalment!
Those panel shops do a massive amount of work on the prep, tough highly skilled work
Thanks for noticing. Really undung heroes of restoration.
The most beautiful car ever built !!! Without a doubt !!!
Huh?
I'm loving these restoration videos!
As always, very interesting to see the restorations progress. Very much looking forward to see more content on this, the Jag and the Arctic Rolls.
Been waiting for this video for ages, it will all be worth it in the end I’m sure👍
Can't wait to see the finished results. Looking good so far. The engine especially is very cool.
Can't wait for the first drive!
Thanks for the update amazing what a good body shop can do
Great how the engine looks carbs look like new cheers Harry 👍
Can't wait to hear that engine. It sounded glorious before, god knows how good it'll sound now its been rebuilt. Lucky man Harry, keep up the great videos
Fascinating as usual, you have some great engineers/mechanics on the job. 👍
The continuous crinkling of that plastic cover was a really wonderful effect.
The paint chip you handed over was definitely orange, but the actual colour of the 27 factory-commissioned Fulvia Sports 'Competition' (or 'Daytona type' ) was salmon pink, or rosso salmone. It's a very distinctive colour which lacks yellow and therefore can't really be decribed as orange.
This is such a nice little car.
I've been looking forward to an update on the Zagato, it's really coming along nicely!
Harry ..Tyrell..& the Beard meets food ... I love my UK Sundays.
Loving these restoration videos Harry
Exciting project! I am feeling a bit sorry for the engine intake manifold, though. Thank you for sharing!
"Sub frame powder coated all done properly " great that will be good for 4 or 5 years tops then, I had a winch bumper, rock sliders, roll cage and tow bar for my Land Rover Defender they were powder coated all cracked and peeled after a few years use, I had them all blasted and hot dip galvanized when I picked the parts the bloke said they will be good for 100 years 👍🏼
It is wonderful to watch such skilled and confident engineers working on your car…it will be very special when done but it is the bills that frighten me and I’m not paying…surely this heading for £100.000 restoration?….well done Harry…I hope it is an astonishing harvest this year..you might need it! 😰😰😰😰🤭🤭🤭🤭🙂🙂🙂
Wonderful content Harry!
When I bought my "Ziggy" it was Alfa red, which suited it well. After a somewhat rustic but much needed restoration it was back to Rosso san Ciro, a stunning color in bright sunshine but a horrid murky grey orange under yellow hollogen street lights! If I had a black one I'd go back to Rosso san Ciro anyway.
Having seen the next video, I wish the restorers videoed their discoveries as they went along......
Brands Hatch in the background 😀👏👏
Ah that’s where the background noise is coming from!
Will be such a great car once finished. Well worth the effort.
They seem to be doing it just right. Not too mad fussy (expensive) but enough to make you proud to own it. My sort of resto.
I was at the concourse in Baden Baden today. There I saw a coupe AND a Zagato. Both 1.3. I immediately thought of H and his car... Now I know. Lets see if the September target will be hit in the bull. +/- Corona. Thanks Harry.
Hello Harry. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Just love this little jewel of a car.
Very interesting video. Super engine and enthusiastic team. I was astonished to discover the leaf springs all around...Obviously some manufacturers did backdating in period!
Harry hope you get the result you are hoping for, never felt the affection for the Italian engineering enough to covet these vehicles, but love seeing the passion you hold for them.
Been waiting a long time for this one.
Look forward to seeing the first drive and reaction.
Beautiful
A Lancia that rusts less than a Mercedes? It’s a keeper. Always loved the orange / red, yellow wheels and HF sticker. High Fidelity indeed!
Exciting and interesting and eminently watchable. The car channel to watch. Love it. 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The rear valance can't rust if it's not there......Here's a faded 50 year old paint chip to colour match...Lovely little car, beautifully designed
Like that Brera and Giulia in the background.
Cam cover looks amazing (as does the rest of the engine).
Very professional , prosit . Greetings from Malta.
Super update video as usual...!!!
Regards from 🇧🇷
Brave amount of work, but so worth it to do it right👌
Love it Harry
The dash looked very cool without the timber on it!
