I've bought another integrale

Maranellohouse · 11-15-2011, 02:41 PM

I know I said I said I wasn't for buying anything else until I got the 308 done but when my mate decided after a lot of deliberation to let his 1994 Evo2 go I couldn't pass it up.

To cut a long story short he bought it thinking it was really clean (I told him to be sure I went to look at it before he bought but he did without me) It did look well.

But once he got into it, it needed a lot of work. New inner and outer sills, new rear panel, new parts to the front inner wings being the main areas. So he sent the car to proffessional body repairers and they have carried out some truly excellent work. All the welding has now been completed. However due to his work the mate decided he couldn't take the project any further hence it now coming to me.

I plan on stripping it to the bare shell this time, something I didn't do with the Maranello House Evo, so I'm going to make this possibly the best build I've done to date.
Oh and I'm not planning on keeping this one as the plan is still to get the 308 back on the road early in the new year so I'll be cracking on with it asap.

Just in case any of you are interested in following the build, it can be found here.

Well that didn't take long Stu.
Now put it in a corner and finish the 308. There's a lot of things planned for Irish Ferrari owners in 2012 so it's time to get it back on the road!

That would be about right Barry. Just when I've decided to take a year out from runs and shows to concentrate on finishing 3 cars in particular.
1st The little Panda
2nd The Lancia
3RD The 308.

Having said that I still will be Ferrariless because the 308 will be for sale as soon as its done to make way for the TR which will need done before I put it on the road.

I'm going to miss out I know.
