    Amazing restoration of Grp B cars

    Found these links on special stage dot com forums.

    They are links to restoration of Miki Biasion's 1986 Lancia Delta S4 Grp B car as well as Kankkunen's Toyota Celica.

    Have a look for a wow factor!

    Kankkunen's Celica (restored for himself):

    Enjoy! I certainly was blown away by what they did with the Celica from the condition it came into the workshop. Seems it is a outfit in Finland...

    I'm speechless. This is an amazing effort! Congratulations to these guys! Let´s hope this is a trend which catches on and others, with the required skills and resources, see this as an example!

    Very nice post WRCfan!

    In Finland we have a saying "Siperia opettaa" "Siberia teaches You"

    1999 I was with friends in San Remo Rally. We wen't to the SS 2 (I think) which went through the village of San Romolo. We stopped when "the carabineri" showed us where to park. We looked the map and thought 2-3 kms and a 1 hour to walk before the first car... so no problem there.
    Only the distance to the SS was 4,5 km and UP THE MOUNTAIN. Ok I made there in time but two of us didn't see the first car.

    Since then we never cared what the "carabineris" said.
    That why "San Romolo Teaches You"

    BTW... That little restaurant in the village ("Dall’Ava“ I think it was) is an exellent stop to any rallyfan traveling that part of this little planet!!

    They must have stop you at the junction to/from Perinaldo then, I personally know Dall' Ava (he's a former rally-driver from the 70ies) and yes his restaurant is a cool place to visit if you love rallying I've been there many times myself and have had great memories with him as we competed in a couple of rallies together

    Thanks for explain it mokin:

    Wow! Thanks for the link WRCfan. That is amazing! I wonder where the Celica has been for all those years.
