Wanted - Thema front clip

[Jordan]

Hi all,

Great forum you have here. Found you when I was searching for Thema information.

Its project time and I am thinking about some Thema bits and would like your help with some information if you have time.

Recently I have finished renovating an 81 FIAT Spyder, US Spec. The car is coming together nicely but sadly lacks power. I had always planned to turbo the car and my mechanic had suggested sourcing an Intergale as donor. I feel a Thema is a better choice as I prefer the “manners” of a luxury car.

No Themas or Grales were officially sold in Canada so I will have to import a front clip (A pillars forward minus wheels and body work). This should include everything to make it run except a battery.

Where would you suggest I find a rusted or otherwise non roadworthy car with a good engine? I would prefer a 16V turbo but am happy to hear opinions on which engine would be best for my needs.

How much should I expect to pay for said bits?

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Jordan
