Bringing Back the Glory: Restoring a Lancia Fulvia

Every car enthusiast knows the feeling: that spark of excitement when you stumble upon a classic car project just waiting to come back to life. This is a Lancia Fulvia a sleek, elegant coupe from the 1960s that’s been called “the little car that could” for its rallying pedigree. This one was a shadow of its former self, but you could see the potential lurking beneath the surface.

Its once-glorious lines were hidden under layers of grime, but the body was remarkably intact. Lancia built these cars with quality steel (a rarity for Italian cars of the era), and it showed.

The teardown…

The first step was stripping it down to the bones. Once the car was down to its bare shell, it was time to tackle the rust. A few sections needed patch panels, but the integrity of the chassis was sound—a blessing for a car this old.

The rebuild…

Once the filler work and primer were done, it was time for the paint. The owner chose a classic Lancia color, a deep silver that perfectly complemented the Fulvia’s lines.

Restoring a Lancia Fulvia wasn’t just about bringing a car back to life; it was about preserving a piece of automotive history.

Viva la Fulvia! 🚗✨
