hi everyone,
just wanted to say hi and ive been admiring a lot of the members cinqs and seicentos some cool cars on here.
well ive recently just purchased my first seicento sporting abarth mainly at first to use as a winter car as my other car i only use in the good weather and summer its a mk1 golf cabrio which is so clean under neath that you could eat of the inside of its wheelarches.
ive always liked the little fiat and even recall sitting in them at the motor show saying one day i will buy one.
well my mate bought the one thats seen on BBC RIVER CITY he plays the postman so got a good deal on it from the production company and after being in his fiat i though ok time to get one such fun and bloomin quick for what they are.
so i got one via gumtree from a chap in irvine for about 480 quid with long tax 4 months tax and has had a fair few quid spent on it.
theres a few jobs needing done mainly is got an over heating problem we have checked the usual headgasket etc ( it had a new one under 7k ago plus timing belt) so at least its not that its either needing a new rad a heater matrix and a good flush possible even a thermostat ) but i hadnt realized how little room there is to see anything or work on them ) my mk1 golk engine bay is so so easy to work on its a pleasure to do anything to it.
so rather than faff about can anyone recommend a good Cheap fiat garage in the glasgow paisley area.i take my golf to a vw independant but i always feel its better to go to someone that knows the cars .cars exhaust is needing a repair too plus a gearbox oil change as 2nd gears not easy when the cars cold.
other than a few niggles ive not had as much fun driving a small as this car since i had my very quick modded 205.
i know cars inside out so always know what to do to them but no longer have garage access so doing work on a busy main road is errr not good plus i'm getting too old
