Seicento 1.4 Uno Turbo'd Seicento Rebuild Thread

Introduction

As a few of you may know, ive bought a nail of a car... I myself knew this, but i wanted to spend some time, money and effort to get it back in a show & stand worthy condition.

It was owned on here by 'wardy25' and as far as i can tell he spent a fortune on her... It was later sold, and then neglected... So far i understand that the car was left off the road for ages, owned by chavs, and thrashed, and thats only when its actually been running...

After it being sold on and on, i ended up snapping up the car...

The car has loads of problems, which i knew prior to me buying her, but she does come with loads of cool stuff...

The interior is full leather, its got powder coated abarth wheels, skirts spoiler, uprated brakes, and the main thing.... a tasty 1.4 uno turbo engine... which i think is the MK2 engine.

The car also comes with panels hanging off, cold start problems, faded paint, wiring faults, and more holes in the exhaust than swiss cheese....

So as a good thread goes.... here are a few pictures of the car in its current condition...

Hopefully in the near future, it wont look anything like it does today...
fair enough, did you sort out the front end before selling it?

also, wanna tell me some info on it, as in things like wether it was hard to work with, how did it handle, how quick was it, etc...

you know that guy you met at trax with they grey uno turbo?
he's giving me the motor from that, and putting a tipo one in his, was thinking of putting the 1.4 in my sei at some point ;)

Yea i remember the guy, had a laugh at trax.

In my opinion i wouldnt have another turbo sei, handling was crap compared to something with a smaller engine. Power was awesome in a straght line, but due to being a turb, drank fuel. The engine was running fine when i sold it with no issues, although i left the bodywork.

If you can put the 1.4 in then go for it, but with the u/t you will find its not worth the hassle unless you only drive in a straight line.
