Cinquecento my new cinqi

Introduction

couldnt live without a cinq :) so i bought a new one :D

Red 1996/7 (dunno) cinq sporting in rosso red. genuine abarth skirts from factory.. everything else standard :)

I HATE THE STANDARD CINQ SUSPENTION heh. feels like its gonna topple over.. nearly shat myself taking corners like i could take my old one heh.. not a good idea :p

noticed problems since ive got it (an hour ago).. think the passenger side rear hub has gone.. not a prob tho, easy fix. and there is some rust on the inner rear arches in the boot but ill tackle it asap :)

other than that, its great :D im happy again! its got a dent in the bonnet but they are easy to replace anyway so ill pick one up in a week or so... MUST LOWER before i fly off the road. oh yeah and i broke the handbrake on my test drive :) although i think the cable has just come loose rather than snapping but again, easy to replace so ill have a better look another day :)

seems slow compared to the tunned 1242 :p

anyway, pics! oh and ital be at stanford on sunday on the FF area so come find me!

After york i decided that the cinq was too much fun to drive without the back seats in and that they wernt going back in! i wasnt particularly happy with the way the bare floor looked so i decided it was time to build a race floor :D

im pretty sure ive done the most stupid thing i could ever thing of though, ive finished the floor, bolted down and "carpeted" and ive just realised ive left a few spanners under the floor :( so ive gotta take the whole thing up and redo it :(

ah well.. ive also taken out the spare as i wouldnt have been able to get to it anyway unless I made a door type thing but I only thought of that after ide laid and glued all of the supporting beams and it would have needed more work to do a door :) plus hindges and stuff which i dont have!..

anyway

piccies!

mines not perfect tho so wouldnt be a good idea to make a template heh. its pretty easy to do tho, took me about 2 hours this morning from starting from scratch to completly finishing.. just need to wire in the amp proper again :)

ive cut the vinyl stuff to overlap where the wood so it looks a bit more flush with the metal.. the wood isnt that well cut tbh.. i did alot of guess work. i just measured all the distances and guessed at the curvy bits. :)


am expecting the metal plate style vinyl stuff to be a bit marmite tbh. poss a bit chavy?
 
looks very nice, are you going to leave that amp there tho?, its saying "nick me!"
