Good morning everyone,
In my insanity I bought a 1966 850 coupe for full restoration a couple of years ago ,(this is not my first project ) after the strip down we've put it on a rotisserie and are now fully involved in the fabrication of pretty much every panel sub frame member and metal part on the car .
The intention was always to slightly resto mod the car whilst keeping the classic lines but there's a little bit of mission creep going on now and we've decided to do a full abarth upgrade to 1000otr spec with a full cage ,upgraded suspension and braking ect as well as the engine upgrades, are there any other forum members who have done this before and if so what where there experiences ? any major pitfalls we should be looking out for suppliers we should be talking too?
Thanks,
Chris.
