Seicento 1.4 Uno Turbo'd Seicento Rebuild Thread

[allanhelen]

please tell me your first job is to sort out that ridiculous front end

 

[gp3000000]

What were they thinking when they did this?!?

Oh damn, the bonnet won't close, shall we try and solve this problem or should we just cut a (not even square) hole in the bonnet... Hmmm...

Lol i know... its bad...

Well im trying to get her running properly at the mo, as i can live with a naff looking front end, but cant live without a car that doesnt run lol...

Having a lot off help from 'Louie Bee' on here, so hopefully she should be up and running off the key pretty soon!

I have been around all the local brakers for new front panels, but nobody seems to be braking yellow seicento's... so the front will have to stay as it is until i can get hold of the panels

Ive put a post up in the 'wanted' section on here, but if anyone does hear of anyone breaking a yellow sei, the could you direct them my way haha!

Need Bonnet, Both Wings all yellow, and possibly the same bumper as mine currently has, although i could live with mine how it is as it can be easily tidied up.

Haha the bungie cord was holding the windows closed... but a trip to the scrappy has sorted that out now ... Finally the car is fully locked...

As for the exhaust, im off to pick a welder up... ordering the stainless on ebay when i get back from the road trip....

Think i will be visiting custom chrome in the near future to see if they can mod the pipework for the induction, so it clear's the new bonnet (once i get one lol)

CC actually sells exhaust tube on eBay, so you may be able to pick up locally for the same ££ or less if they like you
