hello crisps...
good to hear about yours mate. slap a few pics up so we can see whats happening..
just finished a dry build on mine after lowering 40mm and tearing the braid off the flexi pipe ooops ......(damn bumpy norfolk roads).
but all on course just trying to decide what white i want(too many to choose from)lol
shell goes for a dip in the next 5-6 weeks after i have finished moving/relaying all the fuel/brake lines into the passenger cabin as i want nothing underneath the motor but the exhaust pipe ...
will update as bits get done photos will follow when shell dipped..

clocked up 800 miles in the tipo in the last few weeks with trips for work to somerset, wales, wisbech oxford and sunderland, the tipo has been fine and munched up the miles, the wiper linkage repair is holding out but i have ordered the rose joints to replace the crappy plastic balljoints in the wiper linkage.
one problem was after getting to oxford to stay the night and on to sunderland the next morning i found i couldnt engage gear, the clutch slave was weeping. I had new ones in the car so fitted it (in the rain) and was on the long wet and windy journey to sunderland in under 35 mins.
old slave
done clutch bled and on the road again!
the heaviest rain i have ever driven in
revcounter not working - i know what fault is but not fussed about it right now!
finally home after 6 days travelling for a lovely beer or 2 !
Things to do include sorting out a very annoying rattle from inside the drivers door @80mph and over and getting some more casettes - i only have one casette (threw out my old tapes years ago) or fit a cd player so can sync to my ifone..
upgrade wiper linkage
new front discs and pads (have already) oe fiat
new exhaust system (started to blow slightly and have full new system oe fiat)
weld exhaust manifold again
fit new front brake flexi hoses (have new oe fiat ones to go on)
renew pas fluid
fit new rear discs and calipers and flexi hoses (DONE YESTERDAY ALL OE FIAT PARTS)
Got lots more trips lined up and am really happy using and relying on the car as it sat unused in a lockup for 15 years so its a nice feeling that i have got it not only up and running but used as a normal car that can be trusted, i want it to break down and drive it hard to make things break - then i can replace all the broken bits with new parts and make it stronger

nice..!!,
do I take it the alternator is down @2%, hence the glow,
ALL of my 65A alternators had the same issue, ( diode..??)
Charlie
charges @14.0 V, rather than 14.4V,
never mattered on decent runs, ;-)
are you likely to attend Mitcar.. haven't seen a Tipo in a while,

Great pics! Thats Malcolm's old car isn't it? Must be one of the last 5 doors registered in the UK. Mines been back on the road since the spring but not been used an awful lot although did make it to Luton Show where it met up with Sedici 2000's car (see pic in another thread) and Castle Coombe for some racing.
Its stuck in the driveway at the moment whilst British Gas install a new main in the road outside!

hi mike how are you? SWS is still going pounding the m25 daily and munching up the miles. The rattle inside the drivers side door card is getting really annoying and the exhaust is blowing in another joint after welding it up a few months ago, p/s bottom arm is worn and knocks sometimes also last week the drivers leccy window stopped working, on removing the doorcard i found the glass as it dropped snagged the loom and pulled off the live feed!
Im not sure if its one of the last ones i know of a few later reg'd cars but perhaps just late registered?
a few more pics if anyone is interested
south london somewhere last week visiting another lancia mad ex BWE mechanic
The blue thing needed 5 new tyres - not surprising its still on its original ones!
Gave new tyres a wash as had been in storage a while brand new Yokohama A drive 175 70 13
nice and clean and smelling of lavender !
Weirdly you cant get these rims on a balancing machine as there is no hole in the centre ! ! !
FRONTS had big flat spots where car had sat for 19 years in lockup
crikey !
dodge charger on way back from tyre fitter

had a lovely steak and kidney pie here and lovely local ales--- sadly could only have one as was driving but would have easily had more
LOTS of PICS..!!
good idea to not have too many,
with all those pies, you might not fasten the seatbelt.. ; - )
charlie
charlie, they had rooms above that pub and a fine selection of ales - i would have loved to have stayed and got absolutely wasted but was in that area for work in the day so sadly had to stay for just the one - it wasn't easy!
I have tons of pics of the car its really a fantastic car, after i bought it i changed all the belts, tensioner, idler, removed balancer belt, and spent a week fixing various faults (driveshaft rubbing on PAS metal pipe wearing a slot into it
bodily it has a huge dent down one side (door and wing) and a dented o/s wing too but i have replacement new oe fiat panels for it also the n/s rear qtr panel is badly rusted but it came with a new oe fiat genuine panel which is bolt on so i will get the whole body done.
i use it every day and cover huge miles in it, they are great cars.

Hello mate I hope all's well .. it sounds like your project Tipo is on track .. I've had mine sprayed the original Greenstone ..she looks great having the wheels diamond cut shortly when I have time ..id put picks up but I seem to be having problems uploading them . look forward to seeing picks of yours did you decide on a colour yet .. .??
Tipo rev counters stuck on 5,000 rpm have always amused me and I'm glad mine doesn't have one.

Bought her last year as a new project as my other cars are all in good order atm... Didn't think I'd find a car rarer than my Uno turbo, but think I have now looking at the 'howmanyleft' figures!
Plan is to have her back on the road my mid 2015. She needs some (just some I hope!) underbody welding, and has a gear selection problem (won't stay in 1st, 3rd or 5th, but engine wise still sounds sweet at 139,000 miles!
I've fitted Bravo HGT leather seats which imo look better and are much more comfortable and supportive. Once she's mot'd I'll look at the bodywork and get a respray.
