Finally got a project car, bought this for my daughter after she wrecked her Clio but she hated it and gave it back.  With big brother in the background  Looks pretty solid, even the rear bumper brackets, needs new rear hubs. the steering and clutch need looking at and it needs a good clean. Plans are a slow (low cost) build to a stripped out track car.  Stupid daughter sat on the roof, most of it popped back up. There area few other creases, dents but nothing major.  Ummm shouldn't sportings be lower?  Car can't talk properly, badges will be coming off.  Finally some Area 52 influence in the garage, must get down there. (Using wallpaper paste didn't work too well). Mark |

 Not for the Fiat, for the Disco' 4 discs (Britpart) and EBC HD pads for £140! dog biscuit was the first thing I could find to add a bit of scale. I suppose I could have put standard ones on but why not uprate things... Mark |

Installed the discs on the Discovery...  I know need new centre caps and one wheel nut is missing it's cover. If I'd had more time I would have painted the caliper, maybe when I do the polybushes/suspension. Looks good though |

No but I will, with same username. Would like to work out how to stop water getting into car, it pours out of the top sea tbelt mountings after standing in the rain. I think it's sunroof related and probably needs the whole headlining coming down Otherwise, plans to polybush new shocks and steering damper, EGR removal... Mark |

Small update, washed and polished the Cinquecento this weekend, comes up pretty good. Loads of small dings and dents but for what I want OK. Looks like there is some filler/rust in one arch but seat belt mountings look fine. Thought I needed a clutch but adjustment sorted it out, no locking nut though.  washed & polished by Country Photo (UK), on Flickr and the bad bit, need to give it a poke with a screwdriver...  dodgy arch by Country Photo (UK), on Flickr Fitted some smoked side repeaters which look better than the standard orange ones.

Pull those plastic bits off- the screws rust in their holes and cause the rot to spread quickly, a lot of mud hides behind there that doesn't wash away. Otherwise looks to be pretty smart. I fitted genuine Fiat mudflaps all the way round on mine- they way you know you're going fast enough is when the front ones scrape on the ground when you're cornering! Hilarious body-roll, even when lowered. Despite that on larger tyres they stick to the road like glue.  Sitting on the bumpstops right there... --Phil |
