Nice.

Any chance you could pick me up a few parts? I'd pay you for your troubles, obviously.

it's funny, I have seen so many parts cars & other generally crapped out Fiats with BWA Sportstars recently.

So, it's been there a week or so. Small things are all stripped. Engine and drive train are still there. Engine turns freely. It has two good doors. Side glass is still there and good. Windshield is cracked. Convertible frame might be good. No fabric on it. It has it's front turn signals still, no other lights. There is an original blue carpet set with a good passenger side rubber mat. There is a pair of black interior door handles. Door threshold chrome bits. Rear seat was still there, ugly fabric. Fuel tank looked good. Most of the old sepia relays were still there. Probably a decent wiring harness.

Sorry Tony no bumpers. And sorry, SteinOnke I am a little to strapped for time right now.

I got the radiator bottle.

Don't they take those off immediately at Pick n Pull? I don't think the wheels stay on the vehicles.

I just ordered a set of 13" tires so I'm committed to that size. Oh well, I'll keep mine nice and stock and very non-threatening.

if it's like the similar yards around here, the wheels were pulled off & racked at some point where they sell wheel sets. unfortunately, someone with a 4x100 car will be in for a rude surprise if they decide they like these 'retro' 13" wheels...or at least, that's what I would predict. Those are nice wheels on any classic Fiat, btw, in case they're still around there.
