Honest description of the car before it came into my hands from Rob


Engine Bay is now sorted after a couple of minor issues and you could now eat you dinner off it, if you don't mind Wax-oil with your chips

I cant give an honest answer on that because I change my mind daily when it comes to "rusty old fiats" :lol:

My all time favorite lump is rebuild and ready to go in with the 5 speed box

Depends what you consider quick Terry?, I was two years on Jacqui's car and even longer on my Uno.

Sniffing too much rust apparently gives us some kind of mental condition, which is probably why I keep coming back for more :woohoo:

Little update.

The last few weeks I have fitted the lump and all associated parts and been doing all those lovely jobs that involve loads of swear words like- brake pipes, throttle cable, master cylinders, heater matrix etc. Today I decided to have a break from all that and removed the damaged quarter panel and see what hidden horrors where lurking behind..

And I'm happy to report there is none. Inner wheel arch is solid and with a little bit of feta-ling it will be perfect

Happy days.
