Fiat 1100 Select Restoration

[SANDY.]

Hi All,

After restoration of Fiat 1100 select 1960 make reg.no.MHM 6063, I managed to get this lucky no Fiat 1100 select 1962 make. R.T.O. registration no MHP 786.

Now its time to work on car. Cars body line is in good condition, lots of original parts are not in place. Lot of work to do.

1) Car chasis front part to be changed.
2) Flooring of car to be changed.
3) Denting then painting into black color.
4) Total interior work.
5) All chrome parts to plated.
6) Procuring original parts.

Here are pictures of MHM 6063 Powder blue and white top.

And pics of MHP786 Verde color

Work of car started, here are pictures.

There in no cross member chasis, just a small patti is welded, and from bottom chasis is totally rusted.

Flooring of car is also totally rusted.

Here is picture of new chasis, which is from Premier padmini S1. Now I need to weld support at front side.

@SANDY.: Lovely piece (can't beat ol' metal and chrome) but needs a lot of work as is obvious from the snaps. Who is your mechanic? have you decided on the paint scheme and upholstery?

p.s.: maybe you could swap the rear white walls from the 786 and put them on 6063.

Lovely cars there. I love the colour scheme on 6063. I would also second Sam on the tyre swap idea. Rating this thread 5 stars as well. Eagerly waiting for more pics and info about the cars. I love classics a lot too.

Wow the car looks cool. So why particularly painting it black ? I have seen many in green shades.

Do keep the thread updated.

@ Sam,
I have to work lot on car...

Mechanic is in Shivaji nagar...

I decided to paint car in Black color. Upholstery is in light cream color with dark brown color.

White wall tyre on 786 is painted by brush with oil paint by its previous owner, look very ugly...


I sold 6063 to my friend.
