Time to Wake up the Fiat

So after three years of sitting, and now having access to a large garage. Its time to get Stuffed! The project is to install a new ECM, new wiring, a new cylinder head with a new cam profile. Resolve all the rust issues that have crept up over the years and the piece de resistance! A T25 turbo set up with an alcohol/Water injection system. ETA is set for December 31st of 2011. So 4 months (more or less) to complete the project.

Here a couple of pictures with the latest updates.

New Radiator, full core.

Dual 9 inch fans, with manual and temp control switch
 Custom made carbon fiber air splitter




 New ECM, home build Megasquirt Unit with Relay Board V2 processor. Handles all injection and spark control using GM base sensors and HEI control. 
 New set of brake and clutch control cylinders, all rebuild, sand blasted and re-paint
 Throttle pedal was seized! water had manage to get into the assembly. Just like new now. Also all floors have been cleaned up, patched when needed and 2 coats of POR15 to prevent any further rust


Hole free passenger floor, overall this Fiat was spared from severe rust. Mostly because it was converted for  racing 10 years ago and saw very little street driving. Also the car is now in SoCal and the weather is very good for any old car body. And last, the area that are typical or known to rust on the fiat were taken care of early enough.
