I'm very excited. Today was a big step in getting my Fiat back together. I put down a coat of master series silver. After prepping the interior and under the cowl for the past week I was able to head outside on a beautiful day and lay out some color. Silver to be exact. All of this will be covered by rug or a cowl so neatness wasn't a huge priority for me. I really just want everything to be protected and water proof. Here are some images to check out. I hope to put another coat of silver and do some fiberglass patching before I top coat with black. After that I start on the exterior so I can get some gas in her and see if she starts!

As you know I've been peeling up all the tar tiles off of the floor of the Fiat. Today I realized there was more on top of the transmission hump so scraped it all off. I also took the time to seek out any other little patches laying around that I had missed. Then I noticed that one of the tiles went under this shifter plate. Since I had to take out the plate I figured I'd media blast and refinish the part. I'm really happy I did. It was a little rusty, but now it looks great. I won't be able to see this part when I'm finished, but at least I know it will be well protected. Unfortunately the inner boot and foam piece look absolutely disgusting and will need to be replaced. I didn't really want to spend any more money on the interior. I'm not really surprised though. I'm not really sure where I will get the parts yet, but I did find the inner boot online. But I want to find someone who sells both parts. |
