Couldn´t post this in project page, if an admin could change it to project folder, I would apreciate it. Thanks I´ve had my coupe for a month and a few days now, he is in desperate need of TLC. This is what I got him so far, some of the parts are already assembled, some are still going to be assembled. Any sugestions are always welcome (Styling can´t be to everyone´s taste, so... it will only have to suit it´s owner...me  ) The spoilers are still in the paint shop and they are, "boot included" Cadamuro designs. Here´s some pictures.  new carpets  Extra exaust header to port and get ceramic coated  Ported intake manifold to get ceramic coated and thermal gasket  higher flow injectors  New Aluminium Intercooler  New BOV and new spark plugs.  New Silicone water hose kit  Maintenance parts, a lot are not in the picture  smoked side signal lights  New abarth rim centers and new "shoes".  Toyo (only size in my car title...had to downsize so I could pass MOT).  70mm staineless dual muffler exaust.  Walbro hi flow fuel pump  new bonnet hidraulic struts.  Aluminium boot and cadamuro adjustable spoiler (in paintshop at the moment)  Cadamuro roofspoiler More to come!!!

Oooo, I do like shiney parts, best of luck with your project Carlos. I always take my hat off to anybody who seriously works on these cars. I dabble, but anything major gets shipped out.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I know it's not for everybody's taste  No, they have no EU homologation... Not for MOT aproval, have to change them for stock ones when going for MOT.

Carlos those taillights look very interesting.
Looking forward to see what they actually look like on your Coop!

For now, stock shocks and novitec rear springs. The rear springs are already fitted and the car is leveled, just as I wanted it. Don't know if I'm going to assemble the novitec front ones.

Carlos, in this picture, the front hub/axle has a lot more metal around the point where the track rod end bolts in, is this a custom modification or a special thing for those awful Portugese roads? (Actually I'm sure the roads are fine, but I know that in Argentina and Venezuela they had different shock absorbers)

The roads are not fine lol, they seem the Somme after the battle in some points, but if it is custom made It wasn´t me, it already came this way, and didn´t even noticed it, until you pointed it out.

Here in Portugal don't use salt on the roads, we don't have ice or snow problems, that is the main reason of having no rust (that and most of the parts beeing replaced lol).

One of the turbo compressor blades looks to have some "gunk" (unknown material) on it?

Nop, just ink in one of the blades, probably a part of the calibration process.

Don't really know what is wrong with JBT. Just that he had to stay in the hospital, don't even know if he is still there or not.

I'm not one for body kits myself, but if you're going to have a rear wing, that one looks nicely finished. Good looking car! Well done.
