Topolino Another New Member

[youngyinpontyclun]

Hello to everyone.

I have just bought a Fist Topolino from 1936, most of which is incomplete and in boxes, has anyone else done something similar?

If I had 1 request it would be the directionI need to follow for some sort of workshop manual

Hi Perhaps you should google your local recycling center!! (joking!!).
E- bay Italy could be helpful! + any specialist dealers you can find might have old stock!.
Good luck on your journey!

Sounds like a big job.
Without some photos it would be difficult to advise.
Would suggest you get a running chassis and body to start. Chassis and body can rust and need repair.
Would perhaps involve welding if you have the skills. Panels usually found on the continent, on ebay.
Spares can be very expensive, so best to establish what you have and need.
These days best place to get a workshop manual and parts catalogue is on ebay.
Pay for a set on a memory stick, or a lot more for original copies.
Don't know your skill level, but not really for a beginner due to scarcity of parts, few cars on the road or being restored to compare.
I would always advise someone to get as complete a car as possible.
If you get a copy of the parts catalogue, you will see that Fiat were always changing minor dimensions. So need to have chassis and engine numbers to hand.
Cheers.
