Well, the immense task ahead has officially been started
The task - make my blue Uno go faster! And look good, and generally rice it up
Recipe:
Begin with - 1 1987 Fiat Uno Fire
With 1 1.0litre, 4 cylinder, carby motor with a nasty 4 spd
AND - 1 1986 Fiat Uno Turbo ie
With 1 1.3litre, 4 cylinder, fuel injected, TURBO with a 5spd
And stir , yes thats right. Motor swaps (along with everything else mecanical is about to be swapped )
Future posts will contain progress reports and photos
(And yes, the room off to the left behind the silver turbo with the girl on the wall is mine, and to save you the trouble, its Carmen Electra, shes topless and in a thong 2 sizes too small )
==========================================================
Update: Got the interior apart and loom and fuel tank out. Pics are from today and over the weekend.
Philip getting pissed off at the camera
The turbos interior as it used to be.
With the snazzy instrument panel. Look at those pretty gauges
What we had this morning. A crappy standard uno with a snazzy as fibreglass rear hatch and wing
The nice new clean roof lining, with clock and map light at the front, and the new rear seats (door cards and rear quarter cards are trimed the same as the seat, not worth photographing)
GOT RUST!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Ghetto Weight Reduction Stylings
HI-HO SPAGHETTI-O!!!!!!!!
Thats all for now, I have a couple more pics but nobody wants to see an exhaust pipe or a dusty fuel tank hehehe,
Tomorrow should see the whole rear end being removed and maybe swapped onto the blue on.
=========================================================
All propped up and ready to get a helluva lot lighter.
Conemaster saying goodbye.
Everything unboltable ..... well, unbolted.
AYE!!!!! Some bastard thiefed off with my wheels! Dodge au! Gimme back my wheels!!!!
The pile of spare parts grows and grows.........
YAY!!! It's out! Sorta.......
Obligatory vandalism to rustbucket. RIP Buddy
Turbo rear subframe in, hmmmmmmm - it's too high. Lets throw away the springs see how it looks.
SLAMMED!!!!!
New loom being routed.
=========================================================
Dash completed Really gotta do something with that stereo though!
It's in! *sigh* Yes you unbelievers it's really in, no there's not any jacks holding the motor up!
The remains of the actual turbo.......
The old boat anchor Anybody wanna buy a Fiat Uno 45 motor. It goes mint!
Weight reduction + Perfectly balanced car = Uno Hopper!!!!!!!!!
And this will be my trophy. THIS is what remains of the oil filter after spending 4 hours trying to get the mother f**ker off cause some dumbass mechanic put it on too tight
More updates to come.
