I think Dunc should be nominated for some kind of Fiat Forum medal for keeping the Uno turbo spirit alive with such a comprehensive restoration (y)

And to think a few months ago Dunc was thinking of throwing in the towel :eek:

Keep up the amazing work :slayer:

looking good dude
 
Re: UT Restoration, New Thread, NEW SHELL!!!!! *updated 19/03/06*

ahhhh cheers lads (y) :D means alot that! well its keeping you all entertained! im trying my hardest to get it to a top spec lol :D as for my money, well, i dunno, i just spend most of my spare cash on it! lol

as for the bonnet pins looking chavvy, i know what u mean, but i want a quick release bonnet being as im doin track days and its easier to work on the engine with the bonnet totally off!

due to all your kind works, i'll have to sort out a few track days once its done (which is what its being built for) and you'll have ot come up and watch and mayber take a few of u out round donington or something.

soooooo glad i didnt throw in the towel tho, just think of all this spending i wouldnt be doin lol :D

looking sexxeh!!

how will the bonnet stay locked if you have four pins?

someone could whip the bonnet off and gut the inside of the 'bay
