    My Fiat 600 to Abarth Replica Project

    hello,

    My name is Bob Molenaar,
    Last year I bought a fiat 600, because I wanted to make it look to an Abarth TC, but when I bought it I became more and more crazy because I wanted more and more, so it has to drive like an Abarth to

    When I bought it:



    Finally it has to look something like this:




    Major future plans are:

    abarth styling. (big TCR frontnose, wide fenders, motorspoiler etc.)
    discbrakes, in front for sure and if not to hard to modify discbrakes at the rear.
    lowering, stiffening, nice wheels
    engine swap, 850 or 1050
    rollcage and race seats

    The first thing I have to do, is restoring and reinforcing the body (chassis?!)
    I am 20 years old, so never restored a car in my life. And when I am thinking back it should have been better to replace body parts instead of trying to repair them all. But that is something I learned now and will be different for my next project!!



    Change the front fenders, first creation:



    second creation:



    I bought some bigger and wider wheels (5,5J), the frontnose (bumper) and wide rear fenders
    Next to that a reversed eye leaf spring so the car will be lower





    Then it was time to remove the paint and filler, the pre-owner really used a lot filler, so i saw some bad repairs underneath that
