Today I went to my coupe to sort out some little bits of rust, which turned into holes and a lot of rust very quickly, I really don't know if she is saveable everything in the rear quarter panels just turned to dust when i tapped the metal with a screwdriver, both B pillars are rotten through, both rear arches have rusted through, the front drivers footwell is all rotten and holes under the seat mounts on the passenger side, i just don't think ill be able to save it, oh and the front suspension turrets are looking a bit rusty too. subframes are gone, pretty much everything apart from the rear stone disk cover thingys have got some degree of rust it feels like
I guess I've got two options, I sell parts from it, sell the LE seats, LE door cards and LE door handles and buy a different coupe depending on how much i get from parts and the LE stuff i have, or do i carry on finding all these holes and weld them up etc

Afternoon all ....
Hope you're well
Unfortunately unplanned change at home means I've had to sell the fiat. I had bought it 2 and a half years ago from an original owner from new, also forum member. I'm the second owner and had planned to go through the fiat getting it absolutely perfect.
She's just had a visit with Joe fcss march/April to sort the belts, suspension aspects from MOT and brakes, see invoice on pictures for the work completed. Serviced with invoices.
Price: £3800 Engine and model: 2 litre 20 valve turbo Mileage: 84,000 Body colour: wine red Interior colour and material: tan leather Manufactured in: 1998 # of previous owners: 1 (2 including me) MOT / tax until: October 28th 2024
Known technical issues: drivers speaker not working l, occasional sticky speedo.
General condition in and out: bump, dent on rear bumper offside corner, scratch or rear offside quarter, dent on drivers door, a couple of areas of crackling of paint not hugely noticeable. Interior - dash has been sorted so no sticky dash. Original stereo with remote and original book and removal tools. Seats leather has faded and cracked and drivers seat has split on the stitching but solid. Rear benches in good condition although the leather is a little dry and could do with a moisturize. Two front tyres need changing and headlamps could do with a refurbishment, although I have gone over them to improve, everything else on the advisory list has been addressed or deemed not an issue on ramp inspection. (see invoice). Would also suggest new hose kit. Rear boot seal could do with replacing but not letting in water. Oil pressure 3bar not dropping much below 2.5 hot
Rust wise is very good, arches all clear underneath good there is a very slight bubbling in the rear light cup.
Factory standard apart from fcss belt pulley guard
Overall a low mileage, low owner car that mechanically is good just needs some love and care with the aesthetics. Happy to answer questions, comments and offers

April’s edition of Classic Car Buyer has a “Buying the Fiat Coupe” article that features registration V53 LGU and mentions the forum a few times.

So I have replaced the drivers seat base using the How to's found the metal side support snapped off so welded back painted and fitted the base which was the nears side one from another car. I've also polished a spare fuel cap to replace my tatty one. Took her out for a spin and noticed when hot the oil pressure almost non existent. Changed the oil today to 10w60 following searches here but has made zero difference. Going to check the pressure with a pressure gauge but which port should it be screwed into. There are 3 sensors and what looks like a blanking grub screw in the oil filter housing. Looks like I'm into a bottom end rebuild sooner and as per barnacles advice.
