Glory Revival!

Hi Guys,,

I'd like to introduce my new project to you..

This is the 1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution-1.. It's a 4WD torsen differential, a breakthrough in this period with a 2liter 16valve Turbo..

This car, in its Rally version, headed the world rally championships back in the 90's for almost 7 years on.. For some, this car is the legend of all rally legends in view of its supreme dominance.. This is the very 'ADN' behind the Mitsubishi Evolution and the Subaru Impreza!

More can be read here, just click 'next' and you will get the history of this car:
http://www.rallycars.com/Cars/Lancia/Integrale1.html

We're set to restore this car back into its original condition and hopefully bring it back to glory!

Here are the pictures, wish me luck!



THAT ME, GIVING IT A WAKE-UP KICK!


12 YEARS APART, AND IT STILL LOOKS AS FIERCE AS THE MASTER EVO!

That Lancia is badass, I would love to own one! Amazing how it still looks badass even next to a modern aggressive car like the Evo.

now that is knowing your history and where you came from.
That car is like great great grandpa running around the lake. Not very impressive performance wise as the 20 year old running beside him. But it always sparks up curiousity how such an old fart can manage to run like that.

Thanks Guys! Funny replies and I really will do my very best to share all the build in the forum..

I'm still at the very early stage of the project. A fellow owner here in UAE is gathering a lot of info for me.. Our 'hero' Barbz happens to be a conversant mechanical expert in those very cars and is willing to pitch in..

Being Lebanese myself, the Lancia-HF has been an integral part of our youth! Our country hosts the famous 'Rallye Du Liban' and 'Courses des Cotes' thru the most amazing alpine roads where the Lancia excelled thru many of our champions, such as:

http://www.jeanpierrenasrallah.com/R...y=10&startat=1

..to name a few!

I will try to get in touch with the Lebanese performance garages for parts and tweaks needed... Wish me luck!

There you go guys.. Now back to the workstation!!

Wael
