Ben Collins ex Stig Lancia Delta Rebuild – How Bad Is it?!

By now, you've probably seen my Lancia Delta Integrale project car finished in all its stunning glory. But I wanted to give you a bit of an insight into the painstaking work that was carried out in the lead-up to the final product.

This video shows some of my visits to the amazing Delta Gurus at Tanc Barratt, where a lot of seriously impressive work was carried out on my car from top to bottom.

I really hope you enjoy the build process as much as I did. If you want to see the completed results, check out the links below...

I have to say THANK YOU Ben for these videos. I have a 1989 Delta 16V. Im restoring it right now and i couldnt have done it without the videos like this. I can analise every bit of footage to figure out where everything goes and what parts to put on my car. Plus i would not have bought my dream car without your videos at Top gear and this channel.

Thank you for doing this in a single episode instead of a drawn out series.

What a refreshing change to see a very special build other than M3s GT3s, Mclarens and Ferraris .

[robinfoster]

A great episode Ben, thanks. Well done for saving a great car :)

[gerryjamesedwards]

You' done right by this gem! I'm so glad that there was no half-arsing it. The peace of mind you'll get from doing the full rebuild will be well worth it. Not constantly listening for grinding noises leads directly to more enjoyment, in my opinion.

Ben, your car is a jewel. loved seeing it come back to life.

[ElvisKremmen]

Always been a big fan of the HF Ben, you have an amazing car to drive around in now and it will def get heads turning.

Great to see you indulging in the YouTube project cars genre.

Beautifull car. Actually my dream car for many years.

[ilovecurrytoday]

Didn’t realise they did so much work to this car! Makes the whole thing even more impressive!

[weedaviec]

Ultimate project car. Absolute stunner. I loved these back in the rally days and ever since- seeing the rust issues makes me realise I'm glad I'm too poor to own one!

[brianallen]

You're living my dream Ben, you lucky so and so ❤❤

[NigeUK]

This is a remarkable build, worth every penny! Big clap to that Lancia team, what they do is beautiful. And the detail at the end… chefs kiss! 😙👌

Excellent episode and an extremely interesting car. The background music is somewhat nails-on-chalkboard stuff, but it's not important really. It's all about the car and the restoration, which is top-notch.

Great story about a great car. Looks absolutely brilliant, a legend in motorsport. A brilliant time on the horizon for you Ben!

[jdeckard]

You have given the car what it deserved . Outstanding. I called my eldest daughter Lancia after this car.

[scruff]

That end result.... Just beautiful Ben, I'm sure you're more in love with the car now more than ever 😊

[fra_trk]

"we tried" was brilliant lol

[Javiermn]

I gotta say, that grey enamel on the block looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing this process with us!
