Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: Zach Gomulka on April 06, 2010, 17:46:49 pm Slinger & I found a 600 last week in Phoenix... unfortunately, the hillbilly who owns it (and about 50 other derelict projects) cut out the underbody and placed it on top of what was once a Chevy Chevette. Brilliant. The body actually looks good, I wonder how hard it would be to place it upon a shortened VW chassis???
I like your project, looking good!! Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: banditina on April 07, 2010, 08:08:43 am greatttttttttttttttttttt... my next project! ;D

Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: Wünderwolff on October 21, 2010, 20:26:04 pm Nice period parts, very much what I have in mind. If you didn't already have the Cosmics, I'd have bought some myself. Now I have to make do with Empi Eights (oh and an identical power pulley, but of DDS origin).
Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: kittycat50 on October 21, 2010, 20:32:17 pm hello nico ,
i've dont really work on the car , i was just thinking , thinking to "the way to do it properly", first i wanted to start by the rear of the car but after a long time off reflection , i realize that it was easier to satrt by the front , so i searched how to shape a front beam , and i think to the new front whell arch cause of the cosmic wheels and the disc brakes ... so i found how to shape a front beam , next week i will buy a used front discbrakes system of" fiat panda "(euro model of fiat) and i will realize a protype to see iff i can turn the whells , after on this proto beam i will install a steering rack but i dont still now the model .... lot of work in perspective :D Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: Zach Gomulka on October 21, 2010, 20:40:25 pm Looking great, it's gonna be a lot of fun!
Need more Treuhaft parts?? ;) http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,13588.0.html Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: kittycat50 on October 21, 2010, 20:50:45 pm i ve seen zack , but not to much money , i m buying a new local for my future workshop , so right now no money for the vw's
i sign for the local next month so maybe for christmas if you hace still the parts , more in pm as you want........

Anyway, a custom front end like your pic looks great ! Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: Fiatdude on October 22, 2010, 05:37:58 am No need to do all the front end work -- just add a few gusssets to firm it up --- I use Fiat 124 front disc's worked perfect -- went to local auto parts store and bought rebuilt calipers and discs -- just needed the brackets and spindles from the 124
Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: speedwell on October 22, 2010, 14:41:27 pm No need to do all the front end work -- just add a few gusssets to firm it up --- I use Fiat 124 front disc's worked perfect -- went to local auto parts store and bought rebuilt calipers and discs -- just needed the brackets and spindles from the 124 any pictures from yours to help ;D.... ;) i'm interested too to know how to put vw transaxle on a fiat ??? thx fabs Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: Fiatdude on October 22, 2010, 15:42:06 pm First you go in and cut everything out LOL from the square cross support back and then build it as you would a chassis car -- -- We orginally use the stock Fiat IRS swing arms but grafted Vw IRS carriers onto them, they worked until about 250 HP then they bent with the turbo motor. If they had some more bracing added they would of been OK. There are 2 versions of this car the NA and the turbo, with the NA we were able to leave the orginal fire wall in place and with the turbo we built a box inside for the turbo etc. The video below was taken after the conversion to turbo with the interior box.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uki344VRGDE At about the 18-20 sec mark you can see how we tied into the cage and the suspension. If you don't want to do a cage, I've seen this same thing done with just a bar put in between the rear wheel wells and then the trans hung from that. -- The Fiat unibody is quite strong and sturdy, we didn't have any problems attaching or welding to any point on the chasis Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: kittycat50 on October 22, 2010, 18:11:13 pm hy guys ,
I' m really happy that my project interrested you . For me it 's like good vibes to continue my project ... so fisrt i answer to Nico86 After many search on the net ,i notice that many model of fiat has the same braking system so you have the fiat 600,126, 124 ,panda , uno and many others "euro" models , they just have some small differences on the fixation ... i just want to stop correctly my car ........ then for fiat dude , for front beam i want to adapt some coilover (dont know if you say that in english ) for adjusting the front off the car , i have some vintage wheels and i have the cosmic wheels , so its just for look and also for car control and in my case i have car control every two years and i want to have rake with my cosmics i dont know if its clear if its not i will ty to explain again ....sorry for my english , but the forum is good for him...... next for fabs ..... for the case i buy a vw transaxle cross in ninove this year and i will realise a adaptation on the chassis , my gearbox support has not ressemble that of fiat dude because i keep the rear system for the suspension , remenber you that i m assembling just a 1641 so no problem with the future horse powers hoping to have answering all your questions , thks for your interest regards Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: kittycat50 on October 28, 2010, 18:44:53 pm hello guys , this week was welding time , i've build my "proto front team " , i draw it compared with pics and sketch that i found on the net....
i gonna use it to adapt the brakes (i m still undecided )the steering rack , and suspension , when all the test will be done, i will build the definitive beam .... so pics now ::) (http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af110/minoucha50/DSCN5586.jpg) (http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af110/minoucha50/DSCN5591.jpg) (http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af110/minoucha50/DSCN5588.jpg) moer pics next week , i m gonna go home in normandy and if i have time i will work on the car Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: volkskris on October 28, 2010, 21:51:40 pm cool project!
If you can adapt any braking system you want, get something that is easily available. saves you trouble when searching for braking parts ;) Kristof Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: Nico86 on October 29, 2010, 12:29:39 pm Great work !
Title: Re: "miss kittycat" sleeper ......... from frenchnorthcoast Post by: kittycat50 on June 15, 2011, 20:23:01 pm Hy guys , so many work on my house and in my future worKshop and not so many time to welding work on my cars ... but the project is still alive ....
