![]() | Project Cinq! [attachment=1:3cmxaesa]69021_437165365668_732575668_5325249_776670_n.jpg[/attachment:3cmxaesa]Right, here's the new project, from very start of planning up to hopefully a very happy ending! I've moved onto the first mumblings of the planned project now, Boring but very important, budgeting!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() I've broken the project up into 5 stages to help with timing the project, speeding up important areas and most importantly, giving me time to work out where the hell the money for the next job is comming from! ![]() The plan is to get the Cinq looking right for St.Andrews this year, this will take me up to the end of stage 2. part 2 being the biggest pain in the jacksy, the exterior. Being hugely ambitious i've went for the final price of stage 4 out of the 5 i have planned. The first 4 stages i have planned are to get it to what i would consider a completed cinq. (5 being just for the hell of it! ![]() The stages are, Stage 1, Buying the Cinq, Cleaning up, sorting any critical rough edges. Stage 2, Exterior and suspension. Stage 3, Mechanical and performance, Stage 4, Interior and sound Stage 5, Turbo time!! ![]() It's all still very much in the grand planning right now, but as soon as i get the Cinq, it's GAME ON!! ![]()

![]() | I've been out all day today scouring the whole of Dundee, Fife and Angus for Cinqs... no joy at all, found a couple of 899's in fife, both ludicrously overpriced i may add!!! do they seriously think anyones going to pay £1495 for a 96000 mile 899cc cinquecento in green from 1995???, i wouldnt even pay that for an immaculate sporting tbh! (unless it was already turbo'd of course ![]() Plenty seis going about, looked at a Tidy sei abarth that had a bit of potential, but again, was overpriced and the clutch felt a tad on the weighty side, so i ran away at that point!, anyway, for my plans, only a cinq will do ![]() Only one i've seen that would be a potential is in Derby, currently on autotrader, no mention of any clutch work recently though or any word on belts, gaskets ect, ![]() ![]() Hopefully there could be some news by Monday though ![]() Btw, Anyone know what a good price for a Respray would be in a solid non metalic colour? I've set a good bit aside for that part of it, just hope its enough or even better... too much ![]()

![]() | at one stage i was planning on going for deep dish, but for ease of fitment i changed my mind and thought of two tone 14" minilites from an mgb. However, ive seen more wheels that take my fancy and are available at a reasonable price too, so it may change again! The cinq hunt continues, went to see one today, it was an absoulte heap as it tuned out ![]() also sounded like the top end was dying and yup, you guessed it!, clutch thrust bearing was dying a slow and rather noisy death ![]() despite the fact it was perhaps the worst cinq i have ever seen, i have to admire the sellers sales pitch and creativity. their insistance the ten ton clutch was normal for the car, and the fact you couldnt select first gear or reverse at all was just a quirk of the gearbox design until it was hot. and the fact it jumped out of second AND third was purely down to its continental character (well its italian). They finally gave up when i told them im looking for my third cento and knew that every single thing they had told me was in fact nonsense. so the hunt continues!
