Hi, just joined the forum after acquiring this bargain brown beastie! Its generally solid with the exception of some rust on the doors, interior is immaculate and follows the brown theme with brown plastics including the dash and beige cloth. Only 38k miles from new, full history and totally original. Not sure which way to go, mods or restore to concours original Suggestions more than welcome!       |

Crikey! There's some rare-Fiat love on this forum, so you should fit in nicely.
Hard to know what to do - can't be many original ones still about, but by the other token, can't be many modded ones either!

Thats what I was thinking too Daniel, keep the mods to things that can be undone.
Lowering is a must as it rolls like a boat at the moment. Got some 70's lancia beta 14" alloys in the garage that might look the part, also seen some 17" fiat coupe alloys going cheap on ebay that are another possibility provided they don't rub the arches. Doing a mk1 uno project at the moment which is on 13" BBS multi spokes but they are a pain to keep clean!
Engine wise its the same 1301cc unit used for the uno challenge race series so there should be some good tuning options for the standard motor. The gearing on the 4 speed box already makes it pretty sprightly for 68 bhp.
The other big issues is ICE, its never had any radio or speakers installed so want to put something very discret in to keep that minimalist look. There is a small compartment in the dash to hide the head unit but could do with some suggestions for quality small speakers that can be kept out of sight.

Little funny that those were called "Regatta" in Sweden... To not be confused with "Ragata" that translates into, well, "Angry mean curse word" probably are the right words.  |

Lovely car mate, I owned a white 85s 1600cc
for a few years, it never let me down, though it was
only three years old when I got it.
