You could call it a restoration, its never been on the road so its more like a car build as it was never finished, lots of little things still need doing even though the majority of the car has already been built
I found out that the original buyer bought this to build after his wifes 1979 fiat 126 deville got very rusty, it cost him over £1700 for the kit in 1992 and he did choose some optional extras like the camber kit and lower springs, according to the chassis this is number 26
As you can probably see there is no interior fitted, as in no carpets or seats but it has no washers, no horn, no front indicators, no foot brakes and a non runner
After a day of looking over it and tinkering i replaced the points/condenser as the points looked burnt out...after that i noticed there was no fuel getting to the pump, i removed the tank sender unit and cleaned it out, i then fitted a fuel filter in the fuel pipe aswell
after this the engine fired into life and run rather nicely, the only thing i didnt like was the exhaust fitted, its basically a 2 in 1 chrome pipes with no silencer and it sounds like a machine run
so im just gathering parts now, i can't decide on a front set of indicators yet as i cant find any that are nice and slim, not forgetting some door mirrors too
i need some door furniture too as there is no latches or locks, im thinking of just having push button door lock instead of using handles as it'll look much nicer
