Bought this with a snapped cambelt, looked OK before I started to strip it!
This is what it looked like when I bought it:
Then after stripping the vehicle complete, found this hole: Then another bad repair, which was cut-out: Then found the floor on both sides had been pushed up! Inner wing repair: Both repairs made to inner wing: Repairs to inner wing, to the front, as was: Panel cut away: New panel in place:
Now for the rest of the pictures, in no particular order!
I will post the next stage of the restoration sortly!

A few more pictures, worked for 9 hours on Saturday, doesn't look hardly any different from when I started!! Not much more to do in the engine compartment, before moving onto the remainder of the braking and fuel system pipework going to the rear of the car plus the LE discs but silver Brembo's. After this, the bit i've not been looking forward to doing, putting the dashboard and ancillary items back in!!

Further work carried out, all new brake pipes, apart from three, which are nolonger available from fiats, so will have to refurb them.All new heat shields and exhaust brackets, which have been powder-coated. Fuel lines run and covered with the factory protection, which I did not know was originally fitted?
New rear discs, calipers, back shields, flexi pipes, fixing brackets and wheel bearings.
Dry fitting dash parts and heater to see in what order parts are to be refixed.

Just a few pictures of my renewed go at finishing this rebuild, but struggling, as I've l lost all my pictures I took of when is was stripping it, and being so long since I last tinkered with the car, cannot remember where things go and in what order, especially the dashboard.
