My MK2 Fiat Uno Turbo (1990)

[biz]

hello all and Guy!

My name is Mike but also know on the Fiat forum, Turbo collective and others as biz

My car (non runner at the moment) is my (virtually) rust free Uno Turbo!



See!! structurally good!
Original shell too!


My brother "claims" he hates it.....yes right


A photoshop of it with the wheels i want to have made up!
Original UT wheels in 15 or 16 inch (CNC BILLET)


Yep.......thats a path......been working on cars for 2 years like it! lol
Incase your wondering............the council havent said a word about it or where the car sits! lol


It won't be ready for about another year as im COMPLETLEY restoring it and the engine (that I'm sure Guy is familer with) is going to be very well thought out and a serious road engine

But as ever it all money dependent!

Hope you all like!

The wheel arch - is it non-original?

I have never seen an Uno without rust at this place! May I see the left side please?

Uno's in NZ do not rust out the wheel arches. Ive only seen one Uno rusted there and it was an import.

Uno's here Steve, rust on rear turrets, and under the A frame at front of sills. Then Uno's rust in different areas. Never really seen two identical rust areas.
A few I've seen have rusted around the sunroof and upper rear quarter panel amongst usual outer panel rust.
The moulded wheel arches causes a moisture trap and they rust out [same on 130TC Abarth]. I've repaired several and fortunately repair pieces were available. I've heard rear turrets are still obtainable. Even so, they are still great cars to drive. :D

I have seen rust at every uno in germany which haven't special treated wheel arch.

On the left side is more rust than on the right side because of the fuel tank...

Ok in new sealand the don't make natrium on the street in winter ;)

That is enough about rust.
