Fiat coupe 16v turbo project discussion

This thread for comments

i follow your job!

So i hope you all like the one off colour im going for, as you can see there is still a lot of work to be done but cant wait to get it finished and on the road, any comments etc would be appreciated, believe me when the sun hits angles of the car it comes to life

As i do bodywork, resprays etc for a living i thought id show you all some pics of my brother in laws coupe that i had to sort out, when he bought the coupe to was a right mess dents galore, so i worked some magic and all at a fraction of the cost of a bodyshop, just hope mine looks as good as this does.








If any of you need some bodywork done just give me a shout.

Its getting there at last

Paint looks great - a sort of cross between Vinci and Scottie.
Are you going to paint the mirrors too?

It`s possible that some folks are shocked that you have chosen to change what is widely regarded as the best colour on a Coop. (Not me, I dream of an orange Lambo!)

Paintwork is a major expense for me which I hope to avoid for a while.

Yeah the main reason i decided to change the colour was that it was in poor condition lacquer peel and dents galore and tbh i was not that keen on the yellow for some reason plus wanted something totally different, i nearly painted it kawasaki green but changed my mind at the last min. Think im going to leave the mirrors black, iv just started painting parts of the dash etc so its coming on at last

Those flitch panels look terrible in black; they need to match the rest of the body to stop the automatic double-take!

Looks great, a little like that nissan colour a few years back. Always nice to see people doing this differently.

Most impressed! did not realise you could do the colour flip stuff at different times always thought it had to be done in a one-er
Looking good! nice alternative to the green!

Its easier if you can do the complete side in one go as it all blends better, but it can be done but has to be mixed exactly the same and with same amount of coats etc, wont be nice if i have to patch anything up in the future though.

Hi, for future paint work reference, where are you located?

Hi im in Birmingham

Birmingham hey..... Fantastic!!
Would you be interested in doing some paintwork on my coupe once I get it back after latest turbo upgrade and re map?!

Nick

Hi mate yeah just pm me when your interested and we can get the ball rolling. thanks

yeah i cant wait to get this on the road, its going be a real eye catcher

That is seriously flick.

Is it a TVR colour?

Its a total custom colour, one off trouble is if i ever had to get more paint might be a struggle, worth it though imo.

Not really sure yet but may be interested in selling it soon, only as iv got so many other cars on the go lol just thought id see what interest i get.

It's a cracking colour

For sale now on ebay

Just looked at the ad on ebay looks nice but I don't like the yellow spray around engine bay still really let's the car down
