Keep us updated with what you do to them. They are appreciating in value... gradually...

Where do you work?
 
They are no more of a money pit than any other Fiat as long as the Rot has not set in.

Make sure you give the cars a VERY THROUGH going over before any work is done...
 
I work at a scrappers near Haydock an no the red ones good condition and the silver one although it's bad condition been told it's a gran finale edition or something ..my red one has Fiat badges but the silver one seams to have bertone badges
 
Red one is rust free and has been welded and painted ..just got to rebuild and check engine over cars seam good though a lot of spares enough I build 3 haha

Somebody already de bumpered the silver one for you :)

Whats the plan then?

Check behind the spare wheel well under the insulation. I can't imagine this area is fun to repair. Also check the rear strut towers carefully.
 
Put the bumpers back on for storage an checked it on the red one ? has had a patch welded and around patch has rusted so that's going to be done and strut towers on both are solid had a good poke at them
 
For me the big question is whether the cooling pipes and the heater pipes are ok. You would need to pressurize the cooling system and check inside the transmission tunnel for leaks. Test pressure is 2 bar? Pressure testers are pricey, but replacing the pipes is a big task.
 
Silver one has corrosion it failed a mot in 2007 on rust they've started doing the work but looks like they've wanted to complete the red one first so silver one needs welding and paint red one needs building up
 
Both need stripping :)
