General start of the abarth rebuild/1.4 16v conversion

OP
OP
Nor can i and anyway i have just bought this for the mrs so i can keep both cinqs and if she kills/crashes it i have everything i need to convert the free cinq :devil::devil::devil::devil: its called method to the madness 
think its a fair price as well and looks clean enough.

not alot of detail given but looks nice.. hope its ok!
OP
OP
I know not alot of detail but as u say it looks clean but my plans have backfired as went to insure it last night and the insurance company told me its a 1581 cc 8v not 1242 16v :bang::bang: maybe a gt conversion if the mrs lets me near it
Collecting it this evening after work will report what its like when i get home
only 10miles away from me but got a 2 hour tube ride to get to it :bang::bang:
I'm pretty sure from what i have read you can bolt a punto GT top end to this 1.6 bottom end to create a 1.6 turbo
I'll sell you a punto GT this summer for the right price if you want
OP
OP
Just got back with the punto and all i can say is BARGAIN!!!! All i can find is 2 finger tip size dings on drivers door and there is a gearbox mount knocking sounds like the rear gone on the cinq!!!! needs wiper motor or switch gear as only works on intermittent and heater blower only works on full,2 tyres as 1 has a couple of lumps on the sidewall and nearly smooth the other is just the wrong size 175/60 14 as opposed to the other being 185/60s but i think for the money and a little bit of tlc when ill take it to work for a really good free service ,,,anyway enough about the new fiat addition to the family back to the thread topic and i will start with a MASSIVE THANK YOU TO DAN the ss exhaust manifold arrived today as did the magnecor kv85s handmade by diane!!!

OP
Once you do, please tell us what it was
Well i have just got back from a 327 mile round trip dropping off the ecu etc to tony and 2 hours later he rang me and said the transponder in the key didnt match with the code box and ecu so i would of never got it started with that and luckily i was still within an hour of tony so i headed back over to collect it and tomorrow night if i get time i will try again and start it and the ecu will NOT be the problem if it doesnt start
as thats all matched up perfectly and will now start the cinq :slayer::slayer: and the free cinq did it all again without missing a heart beat :worship:- Joined

Can't wait to hear it's alive! And damn that free cinq, it's ace!!!
