Project Fiat 133. Completo/Finito

[stillOrange]

Few weeks ago I realised that I haven't done anything completely and utterly daft of late.

Subconsciously I decided to act before I forget how to do stupid things.

 

The thing arrived yesterday evening.

 

 

As standard, when you get a project car from PBK, it comes with some surface rust and at least one panel prepared or in need of painting.

 

 

Few things are missing still need sourcing and the whole thing recommissioning (I never thought I would use this word again in my life)

 

 

Don't worry people, this project will never get finished so expect no further updates until it's back looking for new owner.

Winning!

And why wouldn't you, it just fun to have it for a while.

What does it need for the MOT so at least you could dive it?

[castros_bro]

22 and 46 please

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

with extra fried rice if available

Battery, brake master cylinder, brake reservoir. That's a list from PBK.

Locks, ignition barrel.

 

It will need overhaul of brakes altogether probably and the front leaf spring looks like needs changing.

That is ace. Well bought.

Looks like a realist MOT list to tackle and then you will get to drive it and up value the car in the process.

The engines at the wrong/right end. Youve been had!

Loads of inspiration to be found on Egyptian Fiat/Seat 133 fan page.

 

Which look should I go for?

The white one at the bottom!!!! There is the new master cylinder in the box Daniel.

 

That transverse spring seems ok to my untrained eye, likely just needs a sanding down/painting/good clean.

 

I was very impressed by the overall solidity of this little Seat. Underneath looks sound with just surface rust to clean off. 

 

Deffo worth getting under there with a wire grinder wheel and getting it properly protected. It is amazing that it has lasted this long.

 

As a serial 127 licker in your younger days, I expect that this will all seem rather familiar for you.

[purplebargeken]

How about yellow with a black boot lid, roof and bonnet?

 

You could call it a Seat Abeja (Bee)

I liked the third "look."

 

As for locks, surely a set from almost any older Fiat/Lada/FSO would do the job?  It was all standard stuff back in the 70s, one of our serial Fiat/Lada chappies should have a set.  Surely?

If only it was quarter or at least half the price, I could go for the sporty look...

[eddyramrod]

   He "stripped a 133 for parts"???????  And he's only in Blackburn!  Get yer ass up there and grab everything he's got!

[stillOrange]

Locks will be same as 126 which I can get cheap from Polska...

 

The guy from Blackburn will receive a message later on today.

Oh and now you have this, as well as the beige BX, I think I really have to come down for an afternoon of car-fiddling sometime.  In the Cadillac of course.  What other treats have you got?

[DVee8]

So when are you going to do something stupid? ???

[eddyramrod]

Half an hour after I arrive, when he hands me a big bag of cash for the Cadillac...

Let me know when this is happening. Circumstances approving, I'd love to gatecrash.

You're literally just around the corner if I remember right.

[purplebargeken]

I was going to fit a bike can to the 133, the exhaust already exits at the rear, just along and underneath the rear bumper. 

 

Get to Blackburn man, get to Blackburn. I wonder i f it was the green one that was on eBay a couple of weeks back.

If you do need a spring, this lot could probably sort you out : http://www.mancuniansprings.com/

I am indeed.

[The Moog]

If you need stuff collecting for Blackburn I work there so no hassle for me.

[stillOrange]

Guys.

 

Seriously, the amount of help and advice being offered is astonishing. I truly thank you all.

 

This might actually get somewhere!

[Asimo]

A-frame it to Cairo for an overnite resto in the Souk!
