	I thought after lurking around on here for a while i would make a thread on my not so retro car This is Black Betty and yes the theme song is spiderbaits song There was already some modifications done which includes a swap from the original 1108 engine to a 1242 engine from a punto 60. Other modifications include omp front strut brace, gsr induction, momo detachable steering wheel, cobra bucket seats, smoothed front and rear bumpers, punto gt front brakes, tinted rear lights, debadged boot, sports centre section and janspeed backbox, red led's in the dash, block is red, arb has been painted red as well shocks are painted to match the rocker cover front calipers are blue and the wheels are TSW Alpines painted same black as the car but they will be getting changed to either Seicento abarth alloys or banded steels. Anyway, ill get on with the pictures, don't want to ramble on too much Got a few problems aswell which i shall hopefully get sorted out too like the random allen keys in the roof and vinyl coming off around the sunroof Also lowered a bit but not sure how much but apart from that its great fun to drive and rust free! Let me know what you think Andy

	Gotta a lot of love for these and Sei's, i am fiat mad myself, looks a sweet little car and the conversion does wonders for it, i use to love seeing the turbo'd ones and the 1242 16v 6 speeder from a mk2 punto sporting and they were so rapid. so i am hoping to see you at brooklands on the 5th of may?

	where are you located? I'm in bradford, ive just stripped my cinq pickup to a bare shell ready for prep and a nice new paint job, also rebuilding the engine and replacing as many parts as possible, should be nice when done.

	Unfortunately I probably wont be at brooklands even though i would love to go, don't think funds permit at the moment I think if i was ever to swap engines it would either be the 1.2 16v from a punto sporting or the 1.4 16v even though the 1.4 is a bit more complicated it can be done and goes very well! I'm in York and ive seen your Cinq pickup on a couple of forums including the fiat forum. What engine are you putting in it?

	I thought this was gonna be my old one but obviously not, mine was a 96... they go quite well with a 1242 in them, but mine was completely stripped out. took it on track at gaydon heritage centre at an auto italia show a few years back
