Hi all and a happy new year to you all.
I am Ian a 52 year old marine engineer and live in Plymouth
I am in the process of building a track day car, i purchased a Stilo Abarth from Flee bay unseen it wasn't that bad, i knew it had a Selespeed gearbox fault but as the engine is coming out it doesn't matter.
My wife took a shine to the Stilo even before i got it delivered, (from the pics), so i bought another one, also a non runner, would start but shut down after a couple of seconds.
I took delivery of the second car first, this car had been to Fiat and they couldn't find the fault, so returned it to the owner still faulty.
I had a look at it a i suppose about an hour later i had it up and running
The wife came and viewed both cars and took a shine to the second one, the one i got running, had to swap over the wheels as she wanted the black 18's instead of the silver 18's.
So the original one i bought is the one i am building as a track car now.
Cheers for now
Ian
