Hey Carmine,

Neat idea. But you've got to fill us in, and pictures, we need pictures.

So what's on tap? Paint, engine, interior?

First off thanks for the support guys and yea I prob could use your help on most of this project lol ok the car is a 1977 fiat 124 cs1 body And it's now painted this greenish blue color not sure if it's a factory color but it's also got these mag sort of looking wheels with the same color worked into them as for the motor it's got a 1756cc with a single carb. As for my over all idea I'm getting the car painted In red and black abarth trim and I was looking for the bumperetts but they seem to be A bit expensive lol I'd also like to lower the car and add some bigger rims like 15in right now it's got 13's as for my fathers over all plan for the car he wants to eventually build a hight compression motor for it with cams upgraded valve springs and shaving the head a bit bit I've been reading up on the 1800cc motors and it says that they came stock with high compression and different valve springs if you guys could fill me in on this car I would appriciate it thanx
