wrote my tipo off :(

ok basically i have wrote off my blue fiat tipo, too much understeer and driving too fast flew into a curb smashed the front left alloy, bent the subframe i believe, steering rack, brakes, suspension BUT . . . i bought a new tipo same 1.4 but 5 door green with a sunroof and airbag, the guy wanted 350 for it. but i ended up paying 175 aslong as he could have a wheel and a wiper lol, this one had the worst gearbox in the world i swear, aswell as the back box hanging off , drove it back home thinking to use this one as spares for my blue one. But ended up after 3 hard days work on my front fixing the green one instead, me and my dad took the engine and gearbox out the blue one, then started to fix the green one, swapped exhaust from about handbrake onwards, glovebox, ariel, rear wiper, clutch, gearbox, a gear selector rod, bonnet latch, purchased a new wheel from a bloke in bedford, now its all sorted with a whole set of spares i like

Nice one looks really good, shame about your blue one getting wrote off.
Although on the plus side you got a better engine/gearbox etc from it, and helped you to get your new one sorted.
Like the Alfa alloys by the way, they really suit it!!
