Fiat 1200 cabriolet

[Johan A]

Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum and i live in sweden. I currently renovate a fiat 1200 cabriolet from 1960 that was sent to the scrapyard in 1978. I bought it 2022 from a guy that had stored the car for 44 years in his barn. It has taken some time to get the missing parts and now i am only short of the low intake manifold used in this model. If anyone has one of these i am very interested. I got the motor from a 1200 granluce that has a higher build manifold. I got some seat backs from the US and I am building the seat myself copying a borrowed seat.
Previous renovations have been fiat 500 n from 1957 and autobianchi bianchina trasformabile from 1958.

I hope that there are some more fiat 1200 cab friends out there as this model was mainly exported to the US.

Cheers
Johan
