Tipo (Classic) My First Car - A mk2 1.7 Diesel!

Introduction

Forgot to warn dial-up users...There are a lot of pics here, so it'll take a while.

Here are some pictures of my Tipo, taken today. As soon as I can move her across a bit I'll giver her a good clean & take some better pics (be able to get all way around her)



The front end - Paint's a bit oxidised, bit of T-Cut should sort it!

Side view - I shall be getting some trims for these shortly, as soon as I find some oldish original Fiat ones going cheap (want them to be like the ones shipped with the Tipo originally)! Alloys are tempting, but not feasible as I'll be a new driver so don't want to bash them in.

A few interior shots, as you can see everthing's in pretty good nick...few scratches on dashboard, bit untidy due to me being in progress of sorting electrics and broken hazard light...new one be fitted soon!
By the way, the stereo was only £35 new, bargain!
She's only done 86k miles! That's the real mileage, not been clocked or anyhing. This engine's got years left so long as I take care of her. Spring's from broken hazard button :( Battery went & speedo jumped to 20, strange cos it hasn't gone back down:confused:. I hope it sorts itself out or I may need new one!
My Engine, had a quick clean yesterday, needs new fuel lines. Out of curiosity...anyone know what that cylindrical thing is to the right of the power steering oil cap? Wish I had the manual lol!
I think the head gasket looks really nice and clean...and silver!

So, what do you all think? In pretty good all-round condition :cool:. When I'm done she'll look awesome :slayer:
nice car, I have the same one but green, my don't have power steering but my have steering bar with 4.2 turns from side to side and the feeling is like power steering

keep a good lookout when you change fuel filter not to break fuel heeter (black plastic between filter and aluminium housing)

btw my have 375000km (233000miles) :D
