Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

Put the Cinq on axle stands as I wanted to sort all the brakes out need to free off the sliders at work for the rear calipers

Also put the rear bumper back on so it looks nice

So as some may or may not know I went in the other cinq to get some parts off mr cook mainly abarth bumpers and my decomp plate so decided to have a play around and got them test fitted to see what they look like and have to say removing the bumpers on a Cinq is so much easier then a Sei oh and replaced the rear bumper brackets too

Oh and I brought and exhaust off Brooky just need to get some claps to get it to stop blowing and get it sitting right in the bumper

Hope your getting the bumpers sprayed to match

It's finally starting to look like my own build instead of someone's half arsed attempt

Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

picked up my spoiler and a few other parts for both cinqs you'll see what im doing with the parts on the future so cheers steaderz for the parts off chii

so got the boot and spoiler on

chii's front bumper will be going on with my apron seemed like having a yellow bumper would be easier to paint then having to plastic prime the unpainted one ect

henseyseries3 · Jan 16, 2017

Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

So fitted the apron onto the front bumper still have to cut everything out for the fogs ect but the bumpers are nearly ready for paint

Also found this little gem on google images look at the reg and you'll see what I mean it's a shame reg checking it looks like it's been off the road for 2years unless one of you lovely lot has it hidden away

henseyseries3 · Feb 18, 2017

Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

got the rear bumper brackets finally fitted

also built the rear brakes up so i can build brake pipes and bleed everything up then ill get round to ordering rear discs

Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

Cant you get the disks machined to take off the surface rust? They look like nice ones

I hadn't noticed the reg of your cinq - amazing! There cant be many N reg cars left.

That's the plan, Try and save them anyway and yeah there can't be many left well thinking about it my little circle of cento friends I talk to on a daily basis all of us have n reg Cinqs apart from 1 who has an r reg

Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

how bad is the surface rust?? Having at times had lots of cars, many of them ended up sitting for long periods and getting very rusty discs - just used to wire brush them off and then drive them. They soon clean off but does depend how bad and pitted they are....

it's bad they didn't really clean up much when I ran the on the daily for a few weeks

blu73 · Feb 21, 2017

Re: Hensey's 1242 8v turbo build

well in that case they prob do need a skim or replacing. I assume its just the rears you mean, being that they do not do much. The front should clean off almost immediately but leave pits. To be honest when i ran PGT fronts and UnoT rears on one of my old cinqs I had issues with the rears endlessly building up surface rust unless I did regular driving like a complete tool - the rears just do so little actual braking.... I have maintained for ages that discs aren't really needed on a cento unless you are going to use the car for motorsport, but they do look cool though lol.

Yeah looking at it the fronts so clean up nicely and just be a shame to throw them always as they look thickness wise they are basically brand new and have no obviously lip you can feel
