A few pictures of the work done till now.
Front bumper (LE type) painted in installed:
Note the plastic parts in the engine hood renewed and the LE radiator grill:
Fuel cap polished and installed:
Leather interiors cleaned and installed. A new gear shift knob will replace the non original one, as well as a steering wheel in better condition. The woofers in the doors, which had broken rims, have been replaced by an original set of loudspeakers fully working. New floor and roof carpets:
New leverage to unlock the boot bonnet. The original one was broken, as well as the one to unlock the engine bonnet. Both replaced:
Here is the knew original leather knob and the new Fiat badges. The "16V" logos with green slash are not available anymore at Fiat, therefore I'm trying to repaint the first couple I've found around:
Rear bumper installed. That's a touch of "new" in the car look, as I've opted for a non original design drilled for twin exhaust. A touch of LE grey (trek grey) in the low end makes the look of the bumper more pleasant (and lighter) than a full green finish, imho. Don't you think? New middle and final exhaust installed, of course:
Note the rear beams polished, as well as all of the black parts outside the cockpit (windows rubbers and metal pillars):
Another touch of newness comes from the vented wings:
LE front bumper calls LE skirts, that's obvious:
Finally, the front beams have been cleaned and polished inside out (clear plastics and optics). The broken black cap inside one of them has been fixed placing large washers under the screws. A touch of black paint has finally been added to hide them:
Beam on the left of the picture after the cleaning process inside out, while the right one is clean outside only (note the foggy veil in comparison with the other):
Next step the HUGE bonnet!
