Hi all. The fulvia's projects born in the following thread
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul....php?t=1151173 , but it start to be a bloody mess with multiple models, new model announcements and WIPs..... too much
. So I decided to start new threads for the new WIP jobs. I'll keep the original thread as a index and for the following developments of the original projects, like for example the barchetta and the Zero prototype.
This new WIP thread would be dedicated to the Fulvia that in Marlboro livery won with Ballestrieri/Bernacchini the sanremo 1972 rallye. It wouldn't be a box stock job, I'll add something and eventually to showa few tips useful for the Fulvia's customers. Let me show some start's pictures:

Due to the back wall thickness, the fuel tank of the HF is short: I just pick the Zagato one, in normal size
