johnnyizegem Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good find this. Like it very much. Didn't know they existed... And on the rear brake cilinders, I did the same for my crown wagon, used cilinder and rubbers, swapped pistons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzurro Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This is coming along great, looks like its not even very rusty? I have bought the same side lamps for my 1100T van, I knew you would have some at least some joy in the older fiat parts bin Could you say where you got the tank done, and if you dont mind, how much? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, there isn't any structural rust at all - its all surface and patina rust. I just got lucky those lights fitted Pm'd about the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, who reco's water pumps these days now that Muzzas waterpumps has gone? cheers - it has been a major uphill battle to find parts or alternatives. I was lucky to have a yarn to muzzas just before it closed for good - Alan from Omni Engineering in Wigram, Christchurch has purchased all the new kit from there and is continuing pump reconditioning. An alternative he said is Waikato Engine reconditioners in St Andrews Hamilton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi808 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Good luck with the compliance thing. How many of these things are even road legal world wide? My vote is paint the bits that need to be proven rust free/post compliance. Leave the rest as is = story. It would be a massive massive shame if this needed to be stripped back for compliance and all that history got lost. DISCLAIMER: Have had one or two before posting… Edited November 12, 2023 by kiwi808 Massively steamed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeektoy Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Cheers, Compliance I hope wont be too bad. Mechanically and WoF items are all good, just the body/chassis to sort. There's a few in Japan, Aussie and Thailand i have seen. Probably only a couple of dozen or so spread around the world. 800cc earlier ones seem rarer and 2 door sedans rarer still as i've only spotted 2 of these. Utes and convertibles most common. I know painting it is a shame for the patina - but it really is on that cusp of going bad with rust. I think exposing it to the elements will accelerate the fact it needs painting anyway. Still on the fence about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
