Dansktaff; sills have been replaced with 100mm x 100mm square tubing 1.6mm and the outer sill has also been replaced with the same gauge 1.6mm. I am going to add more strength, but I think the new sills are more than strong enough. i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af128/crahel/20130910_053520_zpse1c1fd3a.jpg[/IMG][/URL] In the last two photos ill be adding a bit more strength.

Cheers!

Last night I had a go at the new pillars for the windscreen. Shaped rectangle tubing to the window profile and welded it in. Now I must just make up the other bits and the top of the windscreen surround.
Pic's soon.

Well at least by building up the w/screen surround from scratch you might add some strength & can add a bit more to the mounting flange to bond the w/screen in for extra strength instead of old style seals. Did you extend them down to the hinge pillars thoroughly as a lot of people tend to grab them climbing out of convertibles, & even E30 BMW Cabrio seem to have a reputation for stress cracks at the bottom.

Yip i have extended them down and made extra suports to strenghten them up. Old passager side was held together with lead. So ive made a huge improvement over the old.

Thanks dansktaff, ive seen an exact same conversion here in cape town. Looks good, don't like the soft top when its down looks non factory.
I'm going a hardtop look to make it more like it was meant to that way from the factory.
I haven't been working on the lancia for a while need to get back on it now, I want it to be drivable by December.
Cheers Craig

Its been a while, I've done a bit of work on the lancia lately. Replaced suspension ball joints, repacked the leaf spring, cleaned and grease cv's , replaced cv boots, removed wheel bearings(cleaned and greased) and leaf spring buffer rubbers have been replaced. I also replaced all the engine and gearbox mounting rubbers, and fixed the subframe which had a bit of damage.
All I have to do now is replace leaking gearbox oil seals and test fire motor and see what needs doing to it.
I worked on the windscreen pillars and its coming along nicely.
I will post a few pics soon.

Disassembled spring cleaned and replaced anti friction material with polyethelene sheet. Seems to be the same original material used.
