Hi everyone

First of all I present myself. I'm an aeronautical engineering student, from Spain so I apologize for my writing hehe (I'll do my best, I promise you). If this thread isn't in the right subforum please let me know.

I'm a Ford lover and that's why I'm here; i had some in the past, but for now the only Ford in my house is my dad's Ford Focus C-Max 2.0i Duratec. I hope some day to do the same restoration with a Cortina, very soon!

Some years ago, two months before I get my license I bought this car in order to restore it and drive it later ( restorations never end, but i didn't knew that).

It's an '87 Lancia Delta HF Turbo ie. An 1.6 liter engine, turbocharged, fwd. It was in very bad conditions, it had been used for track days but without taking any care of it, and they crashed it several times I think...











The interior was... uhh. I don't know what they tried because if the wanted to get a light weight they did it wrong, no carpet but still isolation LOL. And yeah, thats the ECU on the floor.































RUUUUST!!!
















Now important stuff


























I will continue later, this last pictures are from 2010 or something like that, if you want to know how it's now these are the last pictures i have:

Hope you enjoy it!

 

Your English is fine. Better than my Spanish.

Also your project is great! Well done

 

Thanks! As I said this is only the first part, now i'm working with the engine and chassis. The last picture it's at Jarama Circuit, in a "classics track day". The car goes really good I'm very happy with it, I'll post videos off that.

I spy with my little eye a webber marrelli ecu

Great project.

 

Well fuck me one that's not rusted to bits haha, the original is identical to my mates one, its not too tragic for a 1.6 either, nice project mate

 

Nice car not seen a lancia of any kind for a long time, not on the road anyhow !

 

thats nice!cheers

 

Cool project.It looks nice in blue.

 

Thanks everybody! I worked hard on it and I still do it, I hope to update it soon.

Yes it is hehe As I said, it was left on the floor and I dont know what they did because some months later it burned I replaced it but I want the one from Integrale 16v because it's better to tune.

 

More pics






















That was funny when I bought it, now everybody have one jaja

 

I had a derby green metallic evo like the red one above.
Lovely car but very unreliable

 

hola, bienvenido!

nice project; i would like a evo myself but very expensive!
good luck with it

 

Yeah loving that! Nice job mate.

 

I'm liking this! Top work! The colur change looks great.

 

Very nice to see one surviving.

My last delta HF was sold back in 1992 it was less than 8 yrs old but had Rotted through the A pillars and rear of the roof above the tailgate and all the doors had serious rust I can't see how any have survived in the uk as that was 20 years ago and it had already started to dissolve.

 

Yes i was going to say its good to see it rolling as most are now a pile of rust .....

Did go well thou ...

 

Nice car. Also the project.
CheeRS

 

Hi everybody! Happy new year!

I'm here again after a while, cause I've been very busy

I bring you some pics of the last track day I went in december, a frozen day at Jarama circuit. Hope you like it

 

That looks really well.

 

Looking good! Glad to see your not affraid of taking it out on track. Nice one

 

Thanks!!!

The car goes really good at track, better than I expected. First time I was really scared haha but it did it well, it was on 18psi (maximum for the MAP) and the wheels spinned in every single corner haha. It was too much for the conditions, I dont know about the power but I passed Integrales 16v on the straights easy. Also I inflated the wheels but not enough and I was driving on the sidewall of the tyres...

Last time everything was better, low boost so I can push the throttle without worrying, and the wheels inflated to 37 psi. The car is very fun and all I need for now its better rear tyres to avoid oversteer when braking hard.

 

Very nice
