If you know of a good shell then please drop me a line . many thanks Colin/ex fiat uno owner but still proud cinqy owner.

What kind of alloys do you have? You weren't the one who pipped me to the post for those X1/9 alloys on Ebay a few weeks back were you :mad: :p :p :p

Sorry to hear about your Uno. Is there no chance you can get it reshelled? Any pics?

ME??? x/19 alloys??? soz not me. ive only got uno turbo alloys mk1/ and 2.Ill try to get some piccys on here but there a bit big at the moment :confused:
 
Sad news about crashing the Uno rally car, search the forum for the 'Oh ar$e' thread and you'l find pics of what i did to my Uno rally car earlier in the year. I said at the time wouldn't re-shell and i did later on and have a better car now.
However if you are selling up do you have a sump guard ???

Also if the car landed on its roof i personally wouldn't want to be selling (or buying) a second hand cage which has been in an accident. It is surprising how much work they do in an accident. I'm sure the only reason why i'm here now is becuase of my roll cage and quality harnesses and bucket seats.

Hope you get back into to it soon.

Cheers

Matt
 
As rolls go it was a very gentle one.It was on a down hill section coming up to a bend.The rear of the car stepped out under brakeing due to the rear brakes locking up (this was due to the rear suspension being lowerd BUT the rear brake compensator/the leaver thingy, was not ajusted.So the brake system had alot more bias to the rear brakes and the car is totaly stripped of weight= DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN!)so the next thing i knew we were on the grass then sliding down the road on the side then poped on the roof .There was no sudden BANG! CRASH WOLLOP.The front wing and door looks like its been attacked with a grinder and the roof is bent but the cage is totaly sound!.The body of the car is scratched and buggerd but the structor of the car is okay.At the end of the day the car cost me £50 (y) all the expensive stuff can be saved and we walked away okay. (y) (y)

So please take note all who lower there UNO!!! :confused:
 
Oh! superuno, i did not have a sump guard (didnt need one) and the tank guard is an old "work accsess only" sign (hey it works and it gave the rescue team a dam good laff :D ).My front struts are fixed platform group N bilsteins
