Hi there, i'm a new member just purchased two Fiat coupes from another member (Wads) Both 20 v turbo's in electric blue. both plus. Each requires a bit of work to get them back to prime condition. One is running with standard engine the other was at 330bhp with forged internals etc. before in the words of the previous owner it Sh*t itself. Hoping to get one good one out of the pair or restore both not really sure yet. Need to get them to someone who can advise me on best way forward.
Any suggestions on best garages? Hope to start project thread soon. Cheers Wads I know your gutted, isn't mates rates great. You can pop round and wash them whenever you like lol.
Hopefully photo's will be attached. tongue

Hello cooldog. Welcome. Nice find smile There are three garages that specialise in the coupe, one in Leicester (Midlands Car Services) one in Birmingham (Motomech) and then there's the one I use in Upton upon Severn (Fiat Coupe Specialist Services - or FCSS) Joe has resorted a number of my coupes

If you use the search button for any of the above all will become clear.

I'd restore both, I'm currently restoring three. Two Plus's and one 20VT.

Good luck in the way ahead and your link does not work wink

Excellent, cheers will check them out. I'd like to do both and maybe have one for track day use? laugh Cost dependent really got a huge pile of spare parts and spare set of new tyres, exhaust systems etc. So if I only do one i'm sure someone on here could put the rest to good use.

Please stop posting photos of the old girls, it still hurts.

Selling them to a mate was the only way I could let them go. In Liam Neeson Taken voice, "I will find you (I know where you live) and I will ..... sneak down your drive and stroke them when you're out"

Welcome

I'd restore them both, a plus is always worth saving. Perhaps at the sacrifice of a vt.
