good job on the floor pans rob   now if the car had been over in the UK for 50 yrs i gusse the plastic tail lights would have been salvigable but thats it. good to see it in good hands. now if you can shoe horn the BEAST in the ass end of the jelly bean youl be good. again nice work. UD/JD. |

The current wheel i belive is a fait wheel the the Vworld Feature on the car said its a 15" rabbit wheel. This is a 13" wheel with a 175 70 R13 tyre , does rub on full look  Thank God Martin Taylor has nocked up a set of Spun Ally wheels for the front of the Fiat , will have these at Flame and thunder. Also booked in for cage and ally pannels with Jim Smith |

Not alot going on my end, the Fiat is still with the saint that is Jim Smith. I cant afford a set of custom ercos at the moment so i picked up a ratty set of BRMs to see if they will fit on the rear for now. If they do will sell the front set and leave them as spares.  Cheers Jeff going to be a tough one fitting big rubber to hook up |
