yeah,you know i think your ut is PHAT! don't give up mate you have got so far and at the end of it no matter what happens you are gonna have an absolute minter

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

cheers mate, wont be giving up, but i will be giving up on my shell. think its time to re-shell unfortunatly but hey, **** happens!!

Sad news Dunk, though the Uno shells that do rot do so in a big way so maybe you are better off reshelling.

You can still keep your original registration number if you do this, but you have to be a bit naughty with the chassis plates and somehow 'lose' the chassis numbers on the inner wing. Of course, I do not recommend doing this as it is illegal (ringing), but after it's reshelled who's to know? You know what I am getting at

Any luck with finding a new shell yet?

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

[christopher watson]

there is a mint uno in Gosforth Autos near newcastle upon tyne. the engine siezed on it, but the car looks mint (sadly its got a sunroof).

 

[Dunc Uno Turbo]

bugger! shame, need one asap without a sunroof! can anyone help! i want all u FF peeps to keep ur eyes out!

Dunc

 

[serin]

cant you just cut the panel out of the old one and weld it where the sun roof was?

i remeber that being done on a hotrod

the roof panel cant be that important to the structural regidity!

You'd be better off with the later year models wont you - didnt they have galvonised bodies to stop the rusting...

yeah that is what my mate done on his mk1 turbo because it was so rotten, you might even be able to get a roof skin for it still.

 

[serin]

there you go

and you can get it easily

 

[christopher watson]

gosforth autos also have an N-reg fiat uno 60 start diesel, with mint body.
