(G) My latest Uno!

For those of you that don't stray much out of the Uno section, have a look at my latest Uno in the members motors section

http://www.fiatforum.com/members-mot...-uno-70sx.html

Chas you need a new forum name

you know why they called them Unos??










Cos your only suposed to have 1

Are you after the forum record were both on 3 at the moment - and were both in the process of a clutch job

The new one is looking good!!

Regards,
Louie.

Lol! Cheers Louie! Yes, maybe they should be called Fiat Tres then I would be ok

No, not going for the record for having the most Unos. It's gone too far as it is for my driveway! Once the mk1 70SX is up and running that will be my main driver. Then I'll sell the Cinq and use the black mk2 for parts for my mk1 45S MPi conversion and the rest as back ups for my mk1 70SX.

As for the clutch, I'm having a nightmare trying to get hold of the gearbox input shaft seal. Fiat's Eper doesn't list my model and none of the dealers recognise my chassis number. I had the same problem with my '86 45S as well

But it will be sorted soon and I can enjoy blatting round in a cool mk1 Uno with a twin choke Weber

Looking good, have you tried Ricambio in Banstead???

No, I haven't. I did manage to find a dealer (Perrys, Amersham) who rang somewhere for me, identified my gearbox and I now have a seal kit on its way. £18 though!

Can you give me the contact details for Ricambio please? If they can get parts for your Strada 130TC then they'll be able to get anything!

Just thought I would share this photo, it demonstrates a small Uno fetish, the two at the top are mine (both have since sold), the one on the right is AlexGSs car (at the time), and thats Alex standing next to it. There is another blue Uno that is outside of the frame, and my Yellow Uno is in the garage, I had just removed a parts Uno shell as well. I'm not sure what my neighbours think. Thats 5 Unos on my property at the one time (and 4 of them are mine). Plus we have a mini...

hi, anyone knews where i can buy a set of lower springs for my Uno? Must be cheap since they have to be shipped to Malta

Ricambio are on 020 8642 8577 Shame I think they're closing sometime in the future.

TDI15 - this is to discuss the new motor that 1986Uno45s has just bought or should that be 1989Uno70sx

come on ive got 4, lol

I wanted that MK1 from Warrington about a year ago LOL.

The guy who had it on e-bay never let me come n see so I didn’t bid (Lucky for you )

Such a shame as it was only just over 10 miles away from me. Don't count but that would a been 4

Looks like it went to a good owner any ways .

yup just went through mot no probs but amys wanting an fto now so its gonna have to go soon, altho i dont want her to get rid

I just wanna say I love the beige interior. All u need now is a nice terracotta paint job an ul be on your way.

Thanks for finding that photo, James There was probably a red shell in front of your garage in the outdoor-living area as well!

However, whenever I catch a sight of that towball on the red Uno 70SL, it makes me remember the attached photo (with a shudder). That is, of course, ANOTHER red Uno, so we've had five between us - just the red ones, that is.


They never looked much good to start with - our red Unos - nothing like as nice as Chas' new beast. But in the end they looked OK. Mine even had Panda plastic wheel covers How much did it cost me again - I think it was $250? Great value car!

Fortunately now that you have only one Uno, and I have just the best type of standard Uno made , I reckon we are approaching Uno nirvana. The only thing better would be if I bought a really-expensive and absolutely-standard Mk1 Turbo with no rust - because it is getting to the rust that really gets you down with owning a 20-year-old Uno.

Next year, most models of the Tipo turn 20. I've still yet to see a rusty Tipo in NZ, except for that one that had a mysterious hole in the floor, and one in Mal's yard that had a suspicious door repair that had turned rusty. It's nothing like the anytime, anywhere rust on the Uno

My Green Tipo had some rust in the spare tyre well. It got in the seam with the rear panel. I got it fixed.

I am jealous of your multi Uno ownership. My wife is only grudgingly accepting of the one I have on the go at the moment. Good luck with it
