Cinquecento Another return to the cinqucento

Introduction

So its been a few years since I owned a cinquecento, but have always remained skulking on the ff as I have a love for the little fiats and also have a formula 750.

So at he end of last year, I bought another one (now my 4th?), with the intention of possibly using it for some motorsport abuse. Its been sat around not doing much, just collecting the odd part or two, but now the sun is out I may do some bits to it.

So here it is MOTless sat on the drive.



It has rust in the usual places, and a porous sump (now changed for a new one I had lying around), the exhaust was shot (replaced with a std one for now).

The paint is terrible on it, and it has a dent on almost every panel. (y)
Yes I could weld it, fix it, run without arb. Etc. But time is my issue and I'm wasting time fixing this when my hillclimb car still hasn't started to be reshelled (from April) and my formula 750 is still not built. So this cento is going.

I will be back in one (in a few years probably) as I haven't got rid of the bug for them. but the love for this one is no more.

I get this, I've been stuck here in centoland for a decade, still love them but i yearn for different stuff.. My cinq will prob be up for sale soon - i ordered some stuff to service it last night and then i will prob write an ad for it. Despite this i know that at some point i will be back lol.
 
Its also been in a front end smash at somepoint so it really needs the front chassis rail repairing and the inner arches are gone.

Im keeping the engine, gearbox, loom and hubs for formula 750 parts so there isnt much of a car left!
