Hello

I have been looking at buying a lancia fulvia coupe 1.3s series 2 from 1973, after some inspection I have noticed that the top panel in which the front left shock absorber is mounted which connects to the firewall has separated by roughly 8mm. The photo is too large to attach, is this something that I should be worried about when buying a fulvia coupe or is it simply an easy fix ?

Many thanks

I have uploaded the pictures. Does not look good. I am interested to hear what others say

That is the visible part of a deep structural damage. This can not and must not be cured by simply fixing the visible issues.

Bodged repair of chassis, Andrea

Is it worth buying it and repairing or not?

If you are a newbee the short. medium and long answers are "NO"

Hahaha many thanks then

What you see is probably the result of bad sills and bad subframe.

The shocks are mounted on the subframe.

Looks like incompetent repair of accident damage.
