It's been a while...
After a very busy year following a house move I thought I should write an update and noticed it is almost exactly a year since the last one.
Not a lot was done on the car for a while following the move as one of the things that was needed was a garage to put it in. After having a base made Easter weekend saw the construction of this timber garage:

| Garage built from a kit purchased from Tuin |
It then got a recycled plastic tiled floor and the car was able to go in:

With everything else going on, and a lack of electricity in the garage, not a lot happened to the car for a while. I finally got round to removing the radiator to get it re-cored but in the process realised that the wiring was not connected to many of the components - radiator fan, thermo-switch, sidelight and a couple of other things. This has led me to much head scratching trying to figure which wire goes where! With help from some very generous people on the Lancia Motor Club forum I'm getting somewhere with the wiring but still got a few things to sort out before I put it back together again.

| The radiator as removed, lots of rust! |
 |
| Back from reconditioning but painted matt black |
 |
| Repainted to the original gloss finish and with the fan refitted |
 |
| The relay for the radiator fan, horn and the voltage regulator, trying to figure which wire is which! |
 |
| The alternator, which may or may not be wired correctly. |
When moving the car to allow access for the garage base to be built the handbrake cable snapped so that is another job to sort in the near future.
