Well, its not really going to be a project i don't think. With the money i got from the van i paid off the finance on my R6, credit card bills, and a months arrears i'd got on my mortgage, which left me nothing really.

Please don't laugh at my fall from grace, but my new form of wheels is a Fiat Cinquecento Sporting. I had this little beast as a run around while my Corsa was in the bodyshop first time round. It looked like this when i had it....

Then i lent it to my brother when his car was off the road some time. He since then proceeded to run it into the ground for me!

It now needs several coolant hoses and 'T' pieces, a head gasket, radiator fan switch, and suspension all round! I've now bought all the bit required to do the job. I was going to just buy standard suspension but it was cheaper to get a -60mm G-max kit! lol

So here it is when i got it back up home

And heres the almighty 54bhp power house!

So set about doing the head gasket first! First off was the airbox

Then i needed to create some room for myself, so took out the coolant bottle and drivers side headlight.

Then i slackened off the cam belt

The exhaust manifold bolts were taken out and plenty of other things disconnected so i could undo the bolts for the head

And the head waiting to be cleaned up

And Fiat put these shite clips on everything, so looks like they'll be replaced by Jubilee clips!

Maybe it is a step back from a Corsa, (even though they're just a basic car) but i have this for my fun and speed...

I was going to stick one of those in, but read on Fiat Forum that the inlet fouls on the bulkhead, so i scrapped that idea off. I've heard the '75 cam works a treat in these 'fire' engines?

Someone's done a PS of what i should do to it. I think it look pretty cool, except for the Seicento Abarth front bumper. Its making me think silly things like going mental and buying a set of 13x8 and 13x6.6 TH Lines!
