Hi all,
Long time member, and after 8 years I’m back in a fiat. My first car was a silver cinquecento sporting and have always regretted scraping it :cry . Anyway after months of trying to find good example of one, I found a clean silver sporting not many cinq’s left on Irish roads anymore.
Photos attached
I was in two minds on keeping it standard or engine swapping. But I have decided to opt for the 1242cc punto 60 and I am picking up a low mileage punto tomorrow only 44,000miles and it is for free
My plans are
Fully rebuild punto 60 engine
866 cam
Port and polish on the head with lap work
Drop the rear treat and paint
New brakes all round
New new springs
Under seal
And replace most components
Will try and update the thread as I go along, and would be great to get some feedback or ideas from you lot.
Regards Eoin
