Spent £150 on the new air box at fiat so made all the bay look good!




Took some finding but got all the abarth kit eventually! Lol

All needs paint and refurb before I put on the car



Looks same as when I got it but all £££ on the under side!!


Still need this wheel tho

You SIR got my respect . I don't think I would ever get something like that form Fiat. If that's not love I don't know what is lol!

Duffish ... Talk to me i have one of them wheels

Looks a nice clean example

 

[blu73]

my momo wheel looks well similar actually, if the bottom bit was retrimmed red and it had a abarth logo in centre instead of a momo one i bet no one would notice.

This should be a cool little cinq when done though, good luck with it

I will pm you now!!!!

Yes it is a good one! One family owned from new! 36k just done most of the underside! Got a boot full of more parts to put on!!
The wheels are next on my list when the stuff in the boot are on the car! Thay need full strip and new Pirelli tyres as per when car was new! So looking at £200 to refurb and £300 for the Pirellis! But still lots to do!

Haha I am going for the original look! So need a new one not light Gray with years of heat discolouring it! And the cam cover was broken on the fixing points! Was a bit steep but no choice!!!

 

[Duffish]

bigmick is cheaper

Don't no bigmick! But if I did he might just empty my wallet! Just not as fast as fiat!! Lol

 

[Pep0]

Think the upper and lower was about 15 GBP

Neat car, but if you're going to drive it, I'd look for something better than the OE Pirellis!

Yes i hear there not so good but they are an old style tyre!

No it's not going to be driven much! 4th car!

 

[Duffish]

Looking at my front bumper the toe eye is in a bad spot for my Abarth front bumper because the mesh will not clear it! Do I have to remove the eye????

 

[fingers99]

Yes. It might be possible to use the screw-in type eye (and bracket) off an 899, but you'll need, I think (never tried it!) to drill a hole.

If I just cut it off and do not put the screw in type back on will it pass an MOT??

 

[jatkinson]

Unbolt the Originall tow hook , and you can get a screw in type off the Sei , well thats what mine has got on , but to fit the Screw in jobby you will have to "cut out" the hole in the gaasket hole thinngy
