Discussion thread please mods?

Phil, can you take some pics of the interior?

I'll make a discussion thread in a min Ed, pics of interior soon, but I've just done the leather this morning so it's hard to show how bad it was....

Discussion thread for 1998 LE 99 Crono 40,000 Genuine Miles....

Looks pristine already!

It didn't yesterday! That's for sure!

Looking very nice already Phil.

Shame it only came up after Brooklands - would have been nice to have had 3 cronos there!

Next year hopefully. I enjoy Brooklands, it's a good show and a fun drive there.

Common as muck Seriously though thats the best original drivers seat I've seen. Can't wait to see the end results patch

Hmmm 3 Cronos together - history in the making !

Seats came up well!

I'll be following this with interest.

:-)

Looks cracking...can't wait to see more

looking mint!congrats

Looks like an excellent buy, saw this on auto trader and thought would go quick, crono not my favourite colour but still tempting!
Sure will be a cracker.

Gorgeous colour Phil, and pretty unusual. Dead jealous, although I still love my Moonie out of my fleet...

If you decide you don't like the colour i'll buy it off you!

Arnt you supposed to use White as a base for Sprint Blue to be sprayed on top and not Chrono

Very droll.....

PS - Dan will be along in a minute to moan about the missing apostrophe ...

And the missing "e" Phil

All together now Phil and Mario, A-R-E-N-'-T

Told you

...and its crono not chrono

Be VERY afraid; overuse of emoticons

What's the latest patch? Any update pics??

No pictures as I am in Istanbul, but whilst here the car has been worked on by FCSS - Luckily, Joe is based near my house, so he picks the car up and takes it back - Nice chap

Anyway, the following has been done to date...

**Belts
**Water pump
**Cam phase sensor
**Rocker cover gasket
**Clutch slave
**Thermostat
**ECU temp sensor
**Fresh coolant

and then this little lot will occur before the first of July

**New GTiR turbo installed
**Mapped by Flea
**New suspension and welded front subframe fitted
**HiD's fitted
**New hose set
**Other bits and bobs

I come home for a meeting in the UK on the 30th July so will take pics and update further then....

Looks better every time I see it patch And newly refreshed crinkled rocker really tranforms the engine bay doesn't it. And the re-newed Alloys. One thing - on that side on shot - Are you missing non-RED LE 20 VT badges? Hope to see it in the flesh one day...........LE meet!

Yes, strange one, same badges on each side? Maybe specified from new by the first owner? I have no idea!

I'm getting her totally resprayed (lacquer peel on roof and boot) sometime early next year so will get the badges enamelled red at this point. Once this is done she 'will' look mint

Wonder how challenging the crono colour will be to a paint shop? I doubt you'd be able to specify something like that as new from Fiat. Perhaps they were at the bottom of the box on the track! Great to see a good few cars are now being brought up to and kept minty....

If you can give the code to the paint shop they can match it. After 15 years being exposed to sun and the elements, the original crono colour will not be as it was straight from the factory anyways Yes, there are some cacking examples owned by guy's on the forum. Great news.
