Hi all,

I'm not sure if any of you can remember me or my car. the last time I posted here was about 10 months agao.

I'm the moaning git with the 1.4 which has has 2 engines and 2 gearboxs, and placed alot of infomation I found out about the engine being an experiment oh an being shite.
Also I got a bad boy bonnet made up 12 months a go and was going to sell them on the t'internet. Plus I had that moment with the spay shop and shite paint job of my car from the crap garage in Ramsbottom.

But hey I'm back again, with more mubble's and groans. Its happened again now my gearbox has got any(just replaced 4 months a go). So after ££££ of cash, delocking and smoothing the whole car, then calling it a day on that bravo and putting the stuff on another 1.4 I'm going to sell the car to the highest bidder or wrap up the pieces in brown paper and the sell the parts off.
I've gone ahead and bought a 20v marea weekend as a stop grap before I go to italy to pickup the new barchetta, ohhhh.


The engine fire's over and now sounds perfect but the gearbox's has got (should only cost £200 - £250 for a new one, recon), EW/ES, heated seats (ELX trim), full abarth kit, delocked boot, smoothed full winds (no side repeaters, looks good.)smoothed bonnet (no washer jets, wiper blades of a coupe (for the washer jets), radio with the CD control. around 30 000 miles on the engine.

I'm looking at £1500 ono and I'm based in Manchester.


Anytakers.... If its not sold in 2 weeks I'm breaking it up...


Cheer and hope you all have a happy bravoing time that I did :(
 
Spelling mistakes, doh

Just read my post and saw how good my spelling was in the early hours.

Sorry, I hope you could understand the post if not the basic info was;

Fiat bravo 1.4 98R low mileages engine, some small but taste full bodywork alterations, abarth kit. Heated ELX trim, EW/ESW/PS, cd control head unit.
Needs new gearbox hence £1300 ono (new price).
 
Re: Spelling mistakes, doh

Nino if it gets to the stage of you breaking the car how much would you want for the front bumper and both front wings?
 
Re: Re: Spelling mistakes, doh

i take it u havent heard that theyve stopped production temporarily of the barchetta
 
Sorry to be mercenary but if you start breaking it theres several bits ill buy off you .......You might even get more for it in bits eh???lol

Anyway...let me know if you do and ill be there with the readies and the spanners mate

[email protected] is the e-mail addy
 
got a few nice touches i see

i like the idea of the coupe wiper conversion, that easy to do?is it legal to get rid of the side repeaters n smooth the hole over?
or have you smoothed the holes over n moved the indicators somewhere else on the car?fook!
 
Sorry I haven't replied

I've been away in Italy enjoying the sun :).

I know about the barchetta they are 3 in the North west (which I have found), one left but it's in Black. So I may be getting the black one or bring one back from Italy. However the UK ones which made it into the country are classed as UK cars, easier to get them serviced at fiat, better warrenties and the insurance is cheaper (not an import).


However I've been looking at 98 R audi Cab in sliver, 2.6SE power hood, EW, full leather, these things only cost £5000 - £8000. But I'm driving around in a lovely 1.9 TDI 95 M golf estate with black bumpers, true style.

So I'm not sure what to do, but if the bravo is still here by Sunday get ready with your orders.

Full abarth kit,
Smooth'd wing's (passager side has a small bump on the arch.
Smooth'd bonnet
De-locked boot
ELX trim
Very good rebuild 1.4 engine cam belt change 1500 miles ago.
All the glass.
Smooth'd roof, no ariel (not sure what use this will be to anyone but makes my list longer).
CD control radio
Wing Mirrors
Anything else thats screwed to the car

All if anyone wants the car £1200 ono
