Mid engined Cinquecento Alfa V6 project
Hi Folks,
I've been working on this car for several years now, having built a couple of bec's previously.
It badly needs finishing and using but I don't have any time and not sure when I realistically will have so... wimper... I might have to sell
it...
I'm a mechanical engineer and I built it with a lot of thought and tlc, so its not a random cut 'n shut bodge job.
You be buying a one off machine with all the hard work done:
-custom cage in T45 steel, all tig welded with widened suspension all round with care for roll centres, spring rates etc.
-ALfa V6 12v engine & box installed, with woiring figured out so its ready to connect up and run!
-Stainless tug welded axhuast system running "back to front" - exits from front bumber, with 3 x stainless silncer boxes built in. All
mounted and done.
-Twin radiators up front with all stainless pipework fabricated.
-Mr2 cable gearshift mounted in fabricated aluminium box, mounted to shell. Other end has fabricated bellcranks made, so 90% of gearshift
finished.
-Fabricated twin bias pedal box with hydraulic clutch cylinder, mounted to shell
-fabricated hydraulic fly off handbrake
-Corbeau Revolution seat (needs subframe)
-ATL foam filled race fual cell, mounted under bonnet
-Enkei 16" wheels on rear with good tyres
-MR2 mk3 15" wheels on front with brand new tyres
-widened bodywork - wheel arches cut out with new steel arches welded in. Widened bumpers. Requires some finishing.
-Support from me with anything you need to know until its finished!
Hundreds of hours of work have been put in, it needs bodywork completing & painting, then assmbly with a few minor bits of fabrication left to
complete, but almost everything done and ready to bolt back together! Then some wiring, plumbing in brakes, clutch and fuel, and thats pretty much
it!

Offers in eccess of a several thousand pounds please, and no time wasters - if I had lots of spare time I wouldn't be selling it! ;-)

you'll need to stick a price on it before anyone will rear their heads.

I expect the occupants are gong to have to be quite petite, seeing as the base car is not big, and the area where a full size person would want to
move the seat back to being taken up with an engine.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

I built it for me and I'm 6'2", so no problems there.
Price wise, I'm open to offers over £3000.
If not I'll keep and finish mysefl...one day in the distant future when I have time...
