Sunroof panel has already been removed but roof profile is incorrect and it looks a real mess so it's going to be removed and replaced properly
Filler is more than 10mm thick in places !!

As Bert says it is a Lancia Montecarlo 037 but not a replica.
It is one of the lightweight Tarmac specification 'Works' cars, painted in Olio FIAT colours.
It recently had an unfortunate coming together with a large tree in the Eiffel mountains and has needed a fair amount if repair.
It is now painted and will have body panels re-hung in the next few dways and then be re-assembled
