Paulo,
Welcome. Looks good apart from the federal bumpers - keep your eye out for Euro spec ones
I'm guessing you're over the pond in the US but whereabouts exactly? There are a few specialists in the US that may be abke to help.
Otherwise CSC do a stainless tubular header http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MARMITTA-COLLETTORE-4-2-1-CSC-LANCIA-BETA-1-6-1-8-2-0-/110594504883?pt=Ricambi_automobili&hash=item19bff238b3 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MARMITTA-COLLETTORE-4-2-1-CSC-LANCIA-BETA-1-6-1-8-2-0-/110594504883?pt=Ricambi_automobili&hash=item19bff238b3)
Note that the flange is drilled wrongly and needs modification otherwise it masks off quite a lot of the exhaust port.

Welcome to the forum Paulo,
Nice looking example but the North American bumpers (fenders) are a bit bulky but I guess that's US regulations!
1800 cc cars are ultra rare here in Europe so I'd love to know more about your engine.
Do you know much of the cars history?

Yes! looking picture in the net i see euro spect bumpers (Nice) i had the same done to my Bmw 2002 , went to euro bumper and change the whole look.
About engine sounds and run beautifull , I got the car from a old Italian Shop here in New York (white Plains) Dominick's Auto , from Santo & Frank., they allways work in the car since new.
It need some body work and interior , leather bad, etc...
I'm taking the engine of the car next week , to clean the engine bay do seals , houses etc.
Never ending !!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Cheers !!!!

Hi Paulo,
Theres a guy over there called Lenny who has been specializing in Fiat and Lancias for over 25 years, he advertises on the U,S e-bay site under the name "auto-italia", I have purchased many items from him whilst restoring a Fiat 124 spider and found him very helpful, He "parts out" quite a few lancia betas so it may be worthwhile giving him a call, good luck.

Yeah, Lenny is a good contact
I know he has got some very good beta front seats - it was only the cost of bringing them to the UK that stopped me having them
