Here are some pics of the Fiat 1100R,bear in mind this car has been layed up for 20+ years.
As to be expected there is a lot of work ahead of me.
i have been restoring cars and bikes for over 30 years ,and i'm still crap at it,but maybe i will get it right this time.
You will of course see from the pics the amount of rust to deal with first.i will then fabricate floor pans and sills,once i have the main structure solid i will then remove the front subframe,suspension,sand blast and spray,it seems to be solid enough.
as for the interior it is absolutely mint,apart from the floor mats.
The roof has a few dents in it ,due to the amount of snow we had last year the shed the car was housed in collapsed under the weight,as i am hopeless at roof repairs i will have the help of a very competent panel beater, but that can be left to last.
the clock reads 42000 miles which i feel is an honest reading.
So here's the pics at start.
Day 1
I will take some pics of the drivers side when i get to it.
i am hoping to have this on the road by the summer,i normally don't drift from my other projects which are Porsche 924 /944 , i have 5 of them,[ and before any one comments,yes i know its a disease,] but i am so used to doing them it has become simple,plus there is less chance of mixing bits up.
so thats it for now lads.
