Well after much disscusion with mates and my dad ive decided to go ahead with this.

i Plan on having an Abarth themed HGT van for next years show season.

First off i will be getting outside done and then starting on engine over winter replacing every seal, fluid and belt as well as rebuilding gearbox.

A Fiat Marea in a Bravo Shell..its good to be different

im currently awaiting bids on shiply.com to have some stuff sent up and have a new bumper waiting for me until i find another euro abarth one.

Cant wait to get stuck in and get it prepped for paint now, im considering completly removing all engine stuff and repainting engine bay, would like to look into getting rid of some wires and have that clean look but well see.

will keep you updated.

Fair play chap, good luck with the project, deffo keep us updated!

What about turning it into a Bravo 20VT Van?

Quick Update

Well been quite busy recently working so not had time to update this.

So far i have got:

Euro Abarth front bumper
Abarth rear spoiler
New front wings
New bonnet


20vT engine with 80k miles on it
Polished Front mount intercooler
Garret T3 turbo
New 4bar fuel pressure reg with guage on it
Fiat coupe 20vt Brembo 4 pot calipers
Fiat coupe 20vt discs
Sparco strut brace

Next on list is a cambelt kit and intercooler pipe work and Bailey BOV.

I will be starting body work as soon as i can get the panels up to me and will hopefully get some pictures of the new goodies when they all arrive.

I have started smoothing things off now too while i recieve all the other bits.

Quick update

Just purchased a GTEC2 performance chip too, from what ive read they are deffonatly worth the money.

any pics of all the engine stuff you said it has got fitted mate?
would be nice to see what it looks like in current form?

thanks

im awaiting the stuff my self but as soon as it all arrives ill post up some pics, im just on with dropping my old subframe at min so i can clean it up.

Well here are my new brakes lol Worth the £60 i paid for them all day long.


finally got both wings off and started taking bottom arms etc off to get to subframe when i saw how dead my ARB links were.




more pics to come soon.

Ive also just ordered some red wheel bolts and some white brembo decals for when i have the calipers refurbed next week.

dont know what the going rate for brembos are nowa days but £60 was a fffing bargain Mick.

great stopping power but there are draw backs.

Pug coupe brems are lighter and would lessen the draw backs.

scotty

I had heard that yeah bud i just couldnt say no at £60 lol id really like some bigger discs for the back now just to fill the wheel but well see.

Good to know that about 406 coupe brembos. I always thought they were the same!

Well the Gtec2 chip came today along with my Red nuts and a 15pc torx set. hopefully get more tommorrow

Well intercooler arrived today and im well pleased with it.

well that sthe brakes done for now just need the decals, will have them powder coated when i can afford it.

looking good.is that intercooler off a 406?
