Seicento 2000 899 Seicento SX

Introduction

Hi all, this is my new Seicento which I picked up today, I'm well known in the Panda 2012+ section of the forum, but that car was recently giving me a constant headache with multiple issues so got rid & decided to go old school with this little beauty being the result, I've had a Cinquecento in the past so sort of knew what to expect😂 this is a 2000 pre facelift SX with 22k which cost me just short of £2k, all the underside is solid with no holes anywhere just a few surface bits which I've started to clean up beginning with the worst surface area being the back of the boot floor & bumper brackets which have now been wire brushed & treated so just a couple more dots to do & then rust proof the entire underside to future proof her, anyway here she is

WOW :D less than a thousand miles per year :D The interior and the engine look almost new :) Good luck!
Thanks, the irony was I wasn't even looking for one of these😂, I was just looking for a car so I typed in Fiat & I just happened to find it on Car & Classic so went to have a look as it was only about 30 mins from home & was impressed as the rear arches & outer sills etc haven't got a mark on them, apart from the surface rust spots underneath which I'm getting on top of already having done the worst bit this evening so it's just the odd ones on the floor now & small dots at the back of the inner sills to do then I'll give her a good polish & wax as it needs doing along with a grey door mirror to match the other factory one

I think I can now safely say after 2 evenings on the car going right through the underside I'm now on top of the surface rust (I think) 😂 after wire brushing it & then treated the affected areas with no nasty surprises revealed either so I think I'm onto a winner, so the next job will be to wax inside the cavities & box sections along with the underside, my chosen products are the Bilt Hamber range as I used this on the Panda with the underside lasting 2 years & the arches with cavities lasting 4 years. Also done a order with Ricambio for a spare clutch cable(modified type) & a crank sensor as I know these are prong for going along with the quadrant which I got a spare before picking the car up
