Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi Slow but steady..by when do you feel the car would be ready to roll ? Have suddenly got very interested in Fiats since I recently saw the immaculately restored / modded Fiats here. What (if I amy ask) is the total expense of the restoration ?? Cheers & Looking forward to seeing the completed car. |

Well sometimes not!! But I am sure you know this. For example, the steering box mount issue. It cracks on most cars (especially newer units), usual solution is to weld at the crack. But then it cracks again, depending on how the car is used. Better solution is to replace that member, especially when you are carrying out a complete engine-off restoration. Can we see some of the new floorboard pics, sir? Then there is the A pillar/ Windscreen base weld which is another weak point in most cars. (Is the front top cross member welded too?)

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Dippy, you are most welcome for the mumbai Fiat club rally. And please get all your friends who are interested. The more the merrier. After all, its all for fun and there is nothing formal about this club. Like I said earlier.....it is the Fiat owners own club and any and everyone is welcome. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I'm itching to update with latest pics but they look almost the same. Well guys the sanding, etc all is done. The Steering and Gear box and engine are overhauled. The new suspension is in place and the car goes in for a spray of Wurth in between crevices and pillars and those odd places like on the roof before the top is fixed. Then it goes for the first coat of paint. The engine bay will be finished. Then it'll be fitted with the engine. gear box, and electricals. Minor scratches etc whilst doing the fittings will be taken care of and then off to the booth. I plan the Fiat to be ready in around another 10 days from now. It wont take time after the paintings finalyzed as the upholstery, top, carpets mattinmg etc are all complete and wiating. Ill make a long and detailed post when the car gets its first coat. Please bear with me. Thanks. |
