Introduction
Welcome to the progress thread for my 1994 Fiat Cinquecento SX
Hello! - I have recently acquired a 94' Cinq SX, This will be my 5th Cinquecento & one I do not intend to split ways with.
I have gone back to what I started with 7 years ago when I bought my first car, a 1993 Cinquecento SX, Witch I kept till I bought a lovely red Sporting... witch I wrote off
and got a very cheap S witch I ran out of money to keep.
After a year or two on a scooter I bought a nice yellow Sporting witch I loved.. but unfortunately the massive amounts of rust was to much of a project for me, at the time given as it was my only car.
However I return, I bought this car only as a project/fun car and have another daily vehicle, along with a larger budget!
So enough of the blab, here is the beast.
Very clean, Silver SX with 39,000miles, No rust found YET. only minor surface rust on suspension and brake components as you would expect with any car in the UK.
Shopping List / Ordered Parts;
Probably parts I have forgot, both forgot to add to the list and parts I have also forgot to order. :bang:
More progress to follow!
Thanks for reading
