Posts: 79 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Project sharkbait Well as some of you may know on Tuesday night I went and bought a cinquecento sporting 1.1 in blue was a barn find and has being sorned for the last 3 years problems I know about are the sills on both sides need welded and an alternator belt and possibly the alternator itself but these are minor. The car is totally standard in every way but this won't be the case when I'm finished haha. First plan of attack is get the new alternantor and belt and get the car running once the car is running I'm going to get it moted mainly too see what issues they come back with after this it's a case of full service including timing belt. Then it's onto cleaning, front seats out and shampoo the carpets and seats the roof liner everything basically get the inside spotless and smelling new then to the outside I'm planning a full orange peel removal to get that ultimate show shine then a full 5 stage csp compound to get the car like glass. Then to modifications Initial plan is to lower the car big time on coilovers then front and rear camber tint the rear Windows full stainless exhaust some deep dish alloys then start modding the engine. The only pictures I have are these [attachment=2:1d9rxnk0]FB_IMG_1452639005886.jpg[/attachment:1d9rxnk0] [attachment=1:1d9rxnk0]IMAG0691.jpg[/attachment:1d9rxnk0] [attachment=0:1d9rxnk0]IMAG0690.jpg[/attachment:1d9rxnk0]

Posts: 79 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Project sharkbait Well today I managed to get underneith and have a look I hope to God money comes my way cause I have a list but it's all part of the fun and also I wanna save this little guy not just scrap it like everyone else. My list so far is New disks and pads New shocks and springs all round Track rod ends as there is a little too much play for my liking New timing belt Oil Coolant flush New alternator belt Fuel filter Needs both sills replaced, welded and painted Possibly new engine mounts Air filter (might just stick a cone on it) Rear drums may need some attention Brake lines flushed And I think that's it so far I mean for a car that's nearly the same age as me it's not too bad would have liked it too be better but I bought it as something to work on over the summer and get running I don't really care I just can't wait too drive the beast haha

Posts: 263 Thanks: 13 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Project sharkbait Just think how satisfied you'll feel once you get it back on the road. And the fun you'll have in fixing it up Just don't keep a record of what you spend on it... in fact it's probably an idea to learn now to be very economical with the truth when it comes to how much you're spending on your cars :lol:
