General My New 155 weekend

[steve20vt]

Excellent work, really coming along, we shall be running similar power then, what mods will you be running on the engine?

 

[CFREITAS]

From the conversion , will be running a large intercooler, exhaust gtec2 chip and a gt3076r turbo

Can wait

 

[CFREITAS]

My first wheel is done an not looking bad

 

[franglais]

those disks will look beautiful glowing red hot

 

[CFREITAS]

One of my bonnet pins finally fitted

Abit ugly under the bonnet but wil tidy it up

 

[Adrian Bravo]

Cool stuff, get a pic of the pins in the slam panel next time, id like to see how it looks

 

[CFREITAS]

Will do #Adrian

 

[CFREITAS]

Here is a pic of the pins as requested by #Adrian

Thy sit slightly sideways as they are designed to be put on a styleless JDM car

Would not recommend fitting yourself unless you love swearing

 

[CFREITAS]

Got some rubber to cover the ugly butchered bonnet

 

[CFREITAS]

Both pins installed
......just as well because the poxy bonnet cable snapped when being removed for my other Marea Weekend

 

[CFREITAS]

Adrian what do you think of the 're designed front headlamps

 

[franglais]

BO-selecta!

 

[Adrian Bravo]

Haha yep I am liking the new headlight design!

Its looking good.

 

[CFREITAS]

Update

Well front end is mostly finished
Just waiting on the twin core intercooler and piping

Work done:
Fog holes drilled and fitted
Wiring for the lights done
Slight ajustment to the bonnet pins
And a bit of paint inside the bonnet

 

[franglais]

when is the engine getting mounted? i would have imagined it would be much easier to get in while the front end was off.

 

[CFREITAS]

franglais
The car is going to a specialist to have the engine mounted
As they will fit some extra goodies
And to make the wiring super reliable

Gives me time to get some extra work done
The car won't be done for the Show season opener so I'm not rushing anymore
The car will be done slow but right

 

[CFREITAS]

They don't scrub up too badly for 17 and 19ye old cars

 

[bluejohn125]

Yes, shiny silver and black trim really does suit Fiats of that era.

But I still think those big wheels on the Punto are well OTT....

 

[franglais]

bluejohn125;4037977=I still think those big wheels on the Punto are well OTT....

hehe now you mention it, it does make it look a bit like a cartoon car

 

[CFREITAS]

Lol thheyvate better than steels anyway, the car is heading for the rainbow bridge at the end of the month
So I can concentrate on both of My Marea Weekends
