Fulvia restoration shopping

[KeppelmanJ]

Guys, I'd appreciate some shopping advice. At this point I need basic structural stuff. I've found a NOS right rear fender (wing) from Kristick in PA, but he doesn't carry sills and rockers. I've bought lower fender and floor panels through eBay from the outfit in the Netherlands and they seem fine. I need outer sills, maybe rocker panels and inner sills which I can fabricate myself. Rocker panels and outer sills can be had from Omicron. Any preference in quality and fit between Omicron and Holland?

As you are looking to purchase outside US Omicron is a good bet as is Cavallito http://www.lanciaricambi.it/

Be prepared to fine tune the panels.

Thanks, Tim. I didn't know about it, but I found the Cavalito web site pretty unresponsive. And my parts/spares italian is about as rusty as my project car. Andrew, OTOH wrote me right back with prices. Good on him!

Johnny,

The Cavalitto site isn't the best; not well organized and only a fraction of what they have. But if you e-mail to the attention of Enrico (who speaks English reasonably well), you can usually get an answer.

You could try: EMPORIO RICAMBI , Spitline ,www.flavia2000consortium.org.uk (good for suspension rubbers),Ricambi rosacorsa.

Buy your panels from Bill Lewis in the UK, best there are.

"best there are" sounds good. I don't find him online though, not even a phone. How widely does he do business? Intercontinental? How better than other european sources?

I emailed to Omicron twice, never got an answer..:'(

Bill, like all great craftsmen has never advertised nor needed to. I have his details as he made a full set of panels for my Fulvia Zagato, he used to make Omicron's panels.

I've just spoken with Bill today about some panels which I need as well (rear floors, sub boxes). He was very helpful and from what I have heard produces excellent quality work. I ordered some panels from the Netherlands as well including front floors, outer sills and fender splash guards all of which seem to be of average/good quality. But the proof will be when the work is done and how they fit. Floors and splash guards do not seem as difficult to fit as the outer sill which is what I am worried about.

I am also in no rush to get the work done so it could be a year from now when I actually get to putting all this together (or pay someone to do it)..

Can someone PM me Bill Lewis' contact info?

thanks!
