Check out my HOT body!
Err, did I just say that? Oops...
Planning DTM ish style ducts running along the side between the arches, ducting air out from the front mounted rads and into the rear for engine bay
cooling.
Might blend the arches in a bit.
I know its a bit rouch n ready at this stage (she ain't no show beast!) but thought I'd post it anyway cos there hasn't been many pics
posted on here recently

Hi fellow cinq'er!
Yeah go for it! I've posted on Fiatforum a couple of times before - you're right, cinq owners love this sort of stuff, the crazy
fools!!
Sorry haven't got around to doing a webshite yet, theres some more pics on my profile.
Its just for trackdays really, maybe a roadtrip to Italy via the Nurburgring and Octoberfest, visiting some friends on the way, if I get it all road
legal that is. Could maybe autocross it, but realistically I wouldn't be able to afford racing anyway.
Sadly I'd losing enthusiast a bit, if someone we're to make a good offer I'd let them take it away or complete it for them - the
money would be more useful at the moment...

Brilliant project! Be sure to post more pictures of the build! You're not the only nutjob doing 'horrile' things with Fiats.. saw a
Panda with a 2L turbo engine in the back some years ago... and a buddy of mine is working on a Panda with a 2L Opel (Vauxhall) engine in the rear.

A few years ago when Trabants were dirt cheap I considered using the body of one with a bike engine. The low weight, innocent look and their
reputation for lacking performance would make it an interesting sleeper.
