Hi all haven't posted here for a while so I thought I would post some pictures of PEX's new vented Lancia Delta bonnet that I had fabricated.
The bonnet was of a green 899 that was in fantastic condition, I had a Lancia vent for years in my garage and thgought it would be good to try something that I havent seen done on a cinq before.
I mentioned this idea in the interview with Chris from Auto Italia magazine last year.
So I gave the bonnet and vent to my mate who then cut the outer skin and kept the strengthening bars underneath.
This couldn't be welded as the bonnet was made of steel and the vent is made of ally.
So he drilled and rivetted in place and then gave it to the spray shop who used a extra hard filler which was then smoothed and sprayed in white two pack.
I have removed the bonnet lifters as they are no longer needed.I then installed it onto PEX and the drilled the holes for the bonnet pins.
Now he looks fantastic and with a working vent and completes the track car look.
For those of you who came to Brooklands you would have seen him with his new bonnet.
