Wh0...?

Who...? Am I trusting this project? I thought I had made my mind up and I also had a meeting with the workshop who just recently finished the rebuild of my Bertone 1750 GT Veloce.
We discussed the possibilities, how to get i started, color, mechanics and a lot of other stuff, litteraly just brainstormin on ideas and how to get from A to B with this car.

I have a very big trust in the workshop and both owners, they have been in the buisness for many years, both as classic cars sale but they also manage the restoration part.

I have seen some of those cars they have restored, and the quality are in the very high end.... But... there are allways that bloody BUT!

Lately I had second doubts, related to the restoration of my 1750, the finish are just not what I had expected and I´m affraid that the workshop have a mind of their own, how to do it and it would be a catastrophic disaster if there where any tourqe headed bolts or worse to be found anywhere or a blistering nightmare of some of the original parts suddenly missing because of someone who did´nt car enough.

This is what happened to my 1750, the lack of details and a race to get it done, left a substancial amount of work still to be done..

So I decided to reach out to fellow Lancia´istas to hear if anybody knew any workshops whe really know their way around these cars and have the needed experience to restore them?

I had been in touch with 4 different workshops, who all have that sought after experience, 2 of those sounds promissing and I´m going to visit one of them in Turin in 3 weeks on my way to Lago di Como

Mister Biggini, and his workshop www.torinogarage.com are into these cars, and I want a impression and feeling of this shop and their work before I decide, which way to go..

I have not written of the workshop who did my 1750, but I´ll rather keep a good relation rather than have it destroyed because of my high expectations?
