    My mate (Dave - :lol:) has owned a really tidy Lancia Delta HFII (??) Intergrale for a few years now.

    2 months ago he says - "i'm gonna start sprinting and hillclimbing the Grale, so it's gonna get played with a bit."

    "OK" i say "what you doing?"

    "Ooohhh... Strip it, Cage it, put a few more BHP through it and race it"

    "Ok then mate" i retort, not truely beleiving him...

    Well.... he wasn't joking!

    So far he has fully stripped it, sent the engine somewhere for some serious love, ripped the old roof off and replaced it with a non-sunroof Lancia Rally replacment, and generally done things PROPER!

    All his pics are here..... CLICK ME

    A few choice ones;

    Not so much removing a sunroof but more a case of putting a sodding great big one in. :lol:

    I love Integrales. In fact its the hatch that I would own over any other. Just a shame that they will only start going up in price for a good one now.
