Hi all,thanks for accepting invite, have just bought a barn find black fiat coupe 20v turbo LE ,with 72k miles on clock,also got a free 20v non turbo green thrown in with deal,
Turbo has been off road for ten years,interior perfect bodywork gone dull,faded,mechanically perfect,very liitle rust underneath,only in one spot where somebody jacked up car in wrong place,been after one off these cars for years,so i have decided to give car a complete rebuild,dropping out engine and gearbox and complete chassis,,going to respray car myself and underseal complete car,with full engine rebuild,there a lovely car so no point not doing her up properly,
Im an ex panel beater bodyshop owner so will do all work myself,already started stripping down car this week
Im based in south ireland,just after restoring a fiat stilo abarth selespeed for myself,owned in last 3 years alfa 147,alfa gtv 3.0 v6 with 38k miles,toyota mr2,calibra 2.5 v6 which is now in britain and a diahatsu charade de-tomasso .
Looking forward to reading forums for advice on fiat coupe rebuilds.

Thanks JOCK.

Great news to hear of your discovery, with bonus included cool

Consider starting a thread on Coupe Projects where you can update us on your progress (with pics smile ), also start a separate Discussion thread where comments are kept separate cool

Welcome to the forum. Does the NA have the VIS engine? If so you'll find it's a really revvy special little engine.

Welcome to the club and forum.
Looks like you have you're hands full with the car collection.
I'm around your way once a year or so(Portlaw) visiting some fellow car & bike enthusiast pals.

Good luck.
