1961 Italian Fiat 1100/D Special. A Restoration Project.

1100D · 6th October 2007, 03:49

Oh dont you want to drive off this thing right away singing a Rajesh Khanna song with the wind in your face and all the weight reduction!

Impressive restoration dude. Its really gonna look like a True Italian Beauty, which will remind many folks in Mumbai of the good old Fiat Days, Clean Blue sky and a smooth drive along the wonderful Queen's Necklace. Awesome work man. Looking forward to the completely restored beauty.

Thanks guys. Today, it gets the white top and back at the garage tomorrow for fittings and final touches. Should be out in a week from now I guess. Not hurrying the last few days man!!

Very nice color gogi,congratulation bro.love the blue color seriously.

salilpawar1 · 7th October 2007, 07:56

That's a very beautiful paint job !

Eagerly waiting for the completed job.

Just a passing thought (not a suggestion), chrome alloys would have looked really great with this paint.

WOW!!

Shes really looking nice Gogi.

Cant wait to see her once shes fully done.

CHEERS!!!!!!!

Thanks for the appreciation guys.
Time for an update again.
Now the updates will come faster as everyday there is some addition to the car, the restoration being in the final stages.

This was the position on the seventh of this month

This was the position today. Some trims have been added and the upholstery work has begun. Note the B and C pillars and rear wheel fenders from the inside have already got the upholstery treatment. That what the seats are going to look like with a white double piping.

Let me assure you that we do not want to make a hot rod project here.

Looking damn neat. The body line has come spot on. And I like what he did with the indicator box

islero · 9th October 2007, 18:30

Wow!! Looking GREAT!!! With Porsche 904-style steel wheels, it would look perfect!!!
