Nice find! Lots of goodies on that.

I've got Uno Turbo front brakes on mine. Work well, but end up pushing the bias even more forwards. I fitted Fiat 132 rear calipers (same caliper, bigger pistons) which has sorted the bias out a treat, but I've ended up with a bit of a mushy pedal. Works, but doesn't feel as nice as it did. After I sort the engine I've got a bias setup on the mind.

Would be interesting to see the engine bay. I like the relocated coolant tank as it's all a bit snug in mine for air filter placement (apologies, only pic I have of my engine bay has my chops in it...):

 

 

From back in the day

Ah yea the body mods involved no welding whatsoever.

Oh yes. Such mirth. You didn't know which gearstick to grab after that. Oh how we chortled when I suggested you scribble the numbers 1 to 5 on my knob with a vivid marker.

I see no denial in that. Understandable given both the excitement of the car and it's other occupant.

 

Also Elliot and I were looking at the green meany when we were fixing his brake lights, I kicked the nose panel and I shit you not, lumps of soggy MDF fell out.

Elliot then looked at the rear panel construction, this was bondo over ply which quite frankly was a step up in quality from the front.

To be fair, bog can't rust the metal underneath it if the metal underneath is actually plywood

True that.

[yoeddynz]

Such a fun game stripping down a spares car and collecting all those bits. 

One of them might just get used in the future and all those times stepping over them, kicking them and moving them will be forgiven when you get to utter the following words...

"I knew this would come in handy one day!"

Damn, my Pinniped fetish has been outed. But you know what they say 'seals the deal'.

Dylans mate pops his head back out of the engine bay and says "looks like you just blew a seal" 

Dylan wipes mouth and says "nah,  I just had an ice cream"

Found this one today

Must have the same rust treatment system..

 

... some mint panels!!

[ThePog]

Those are some particularly odd spots for rust holes.

[VitesseEFI]

Looks like typical Fiat behaviour for that era - or even typical Italian car behaviour. Mate had an Alfasud with holes in roof FFS….🤷‍♂️

The two bertone badges on the rear door pillars (two small phillips head screws and they pop off) and the engine cover if it isnt too rusty, but given the rest of it that's extremely unlikely..

Oh and the front and rear badges maybe.
