Introduction
Hi all,
making a start on diarising activities on my second Fiat 850 series 2. I've had this one for more than 10 years, but other activities have taken precedence. The intention is to fully strip, repair and build to a race car specification. A number of other restorations documented on the web have provided inspiration for what I want to achieve - more along the lines of Fiat Abarth 1000 OTR.
Inspiration:
Current State:
Exterior:
Usual rust spots:
Interior
Next work planned is to construct new seat mounts for the driver, to enable installation of an OMP race seat, which is considerably lower and more supportive than the original ones - major benefit that the top of my helmet does not hit the roof when driving!
Happy grinding to all this Christmas season.
