new to the board, not new to lancias

glad i found this community, i have 2 scorpions and 1 zagato at this time, none of which are in the condition to drive. i have a wierd vision for 1 of my scorpions, kinda a group 4, street version. going for 1600 lbs and 225hp. the 225 hp is no problem as i have already acheved that with a 2.0 fiat motor on a dyno. the car is too far gone in my opinion to restore to original so, its time to make it what i want. i have the mechanical and fabricating ability to make this vision happen. i figure it will take about 6-10 months depending on my work schedule to complete. i will keep the board up to date with photo's of this creation as it happens. i would love to have sugestions and ideas for this project as it unfolds.:cheers:

Welcome to the forum! Sounds like an interesting project, though I suspect that 1600 lbs is going to be a tough target. Keep us posted.

Hi Beek and welcome - are you going to be fabricating everything yourself and spaceframing? Be interested to see what mods you're going with to get 225 bhp. Look forward to your updates!

Cheers

That is a high spec (and CR! ;o) ) Look forward to seeing it come together and what results you get. Keep us posted - got any pics?
