Fiat 600

[BOB_R]

Well this is my Fiat 600 , it was owned the by the legend that is Jeff Denham master head man ;), saw an add for it a while ago and thought HELL YEAH, needs a lot of work but the 3 liter type 1 engine is well on its way and its up to me and few very good mates to get it up to scratch with a street Gasser feel


Well i haven't had time or money to do a lot but over Christmas i will get a lot done :) Here is the low down of what has been happening so far:

On the cards:
Cage in October
Wheels
Engine and box after Xmas :)

The current wheel i believe is a fiat 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 knocked 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.
