Seicento Newbie from the high peak

[SMILER258]

Hi all, i'm Nathan, i'm 14 and just bought a Fiat Seicento on a 53 plate, 1 owner, fsh, all I could want for peanuts. I have another project aswell, which is my Ford Sierra XR4X4 i'm welding up, but its a fully kitted rally car and it's sentimental so its stayin with me And i'm very knowledgeable haha. Tomorrow I will get a project thread up. And also I have worked for the past 6 years to get these, so i'm very proud

Thanks all

You've been working since you were 8?

 

[SMILER258]

haha, no, i meant I have been doing jobs since about then, and im 15 in a month aswell. I sold my ps3 and xbox to fund my projects

What are your plans with the sei then? Another rally car?

 

[SMILER258]

The plan is probably just a nice first car. If I made it a rally car (which is soo tempting) the insurance would probably cripple me.

Thanks I like doing productive things. And its the 2.9. The original engine was binned as the cam was worn, and the top end was poorly

First thing for this Sei though, a home respray, it's been keyed

[Freebo]

Man, wish i owned a Sei and a XR4X4 when i was 14!

Welcome aboard!

 

[SMILER258]

Cheers for the welcomes everyone!

Simo101, any specific reason why? The car has previously been resprayed and someone tried blending the paint. It is a tragic fail. Although I understand your point safety wise. I'm willing to give it a try.

well safety is an issue but im thinking more of how g**h it will end up.. i work for a reputable car restoration company and i am based mainly on body work. We hacve so many cars that comee in where people have tried to do a home respray and its just ended up shi** mainly due to the fact the envoironment is too dusty and they dont have decent equipment room pressure is wrong etc etc... theres alot needs to be taken into account. i can give you a few pointers but i reccomend a proffesional do it.

He'd have to sell his action men to do that though ... just teasing.
14 eh, Christ, I didn't know one end of a Spanner from another at 14. I was furiously masturbating over Melissa Messenger.

Good on ya Kid, 14 and already sorting his first car whilst creating a rally monster. I admire that.

Ta.
