Hey Gents,

I haven't posted much in the last year, mostly because I haven't laid a serious hand on it in a long time ...as it's been at the body shop for close to 3 years. Long story, but more on the later.

My point in posting is: I got the car home today!!! Soooo much to do. I have some basic goals, but getting it home seems like such a major accomplishment that I need to go check outside every few minutes to believe it's real.

Here are some pics I too this morning at the body shop and at home:

...and I'm a happy guy:

I hope I'll be posting a bit more now that I don't have to feel like a fraud for not having the car on hand.

Nice to get that work done. Those spider wheels look really nice on the car. I will consider those for the future. B.

Those aren't Spider wheels, they're Scorpion wheels which were "repurposed" for the Spider. I just put 'em back where they belong. 8) That's my story and I'm sticking to it!:p

Of course, how brain dead of me, I forgot what forum I was on. My last brain cell is struggling for survival!! With out doing a search what size are they and do they come in different sizes? B.

Truth be told, they are 14" Cromodoras off of a later Fiat Spider. In the US, they're often called "Turbo" wheels, even though the Legend converted turbo cars weren't necessarily supplied with these. These are the last set of wheel I refinished myself. I even hand cut sign vinyl for the center caps which mimics the Scorp/Monte wheel embossed Lancia logo caps:http://picasaweb.google.com/jeovington128/ScorpGeneral#5211940537972091970
