Hope nobody wanted my 18,000 mile super shell!

[mirafioriman]

Because now it does not exist any more! I kept any useful bits after hacking it to pieces this afternoon.



Removed the roof to keep first.



Then chopped it in half!



Removed the rear panel to keep. It is not perfect but I do not currently have any spare series 2 rear panels.



Then removed the fuel filler area. I also kept a few other bits and pieces.



All that is now left is a pile of scrap to weigh in!

What you have done Dave is a very serious crime.What punishment should be meated out to you,well i will let the other forum members decide on this .Eugene

[mirafioriman]

Well it was pretty badly rusted and I did offer it here for sale for a while. (Unsuprisingly) nobody wanted it.

[theredx19]

If you are leaving those bits out in the british weather you might as well call the scrap man now but maybe I will talk to Eugene to see what we should do now...

Dave hope you kept the firewall, dash & all the rhd stuff, would be great to have those parts to convert a rust free?? left hooker.

[mirafioriman]

The dash is mint so I have kept this as I will be fitting it to the estate car which has a damaged one in it at the moment. The firewall I did not think about to be honest and is now cut in half (widthways) although I still have it at the moment.

Infact I still have virtually every part of this car as when I cut up the shell it was completely stripped.

Well Sid there would be no mot standard welding having to weld 2 halves of a bulkhead together or she could be an inch or two too wide 

[sid131]

Mot standard welding? well over the pond it seems in my experience that amounts pigeon droppings isopon & shutz to hold it all together ha ha ha ha

[theredx19]

Shultz must be the magical bonder over there as could you imagine them having to pass the NCT with that welding sure they wouldnt let you out of the test centre....

that an argenta in there aswell dave 

[mirafioriman]

Yes Scott I'm afraid the LHD Argenta did not make it. Decided to do the RHD one I aquired instead and the LHD one was used for any useful bits.

[theredx19]

Ah Dave we are meant to be saving these cars not cutting them up as this was the job of the dreaded scrap man 

[20vturbo]

you should have bought it then eh?   

[theredx19]

I am based in Ireland and have been my best to save the Fiats I have but judging by the pile that was the Argenta it seemed solid enough....

[sid131]

just looking at the pics again i see that the inner wheel wells are pretty solid where the back seat sits, keep them David cos they can be reused, i have to replace both of mine as they are completely rusty, but i got new ones off Yagmur a while back.
