Work starts!


It isn't much, but I have finally made a start on getting the car back on the road, a spanner has been wielded!
It is only as much as getting the back on axle stands and the wheels off but I had to start somewhere
In the air!

I can now get the brake calipers off and sent away for refurbishment - they may only need seals but because it is so long since the car was on the road I think a full refurb with new pistons and seals has to be worth doing.
Brake disc with integral drum for the handbrake
The brakes are very advanced for the age of the car - a disc brake for the footbrake with an integral drum for the handbrake. Apparently it needs the hub removing to replace the handbrake shoes, and that needs a special tool which can be bought or hired - I like to have my own so as long as the cost is reasonable I'll be expanding my tool set with a Lancia specific hub nut removal tool!
