Bright Halo said: Looks great! My favourite colour as well for these.There used to be a garage on the A40 into Oxford from Woodstock that specialised in Fiat Coupe. I would often stop to have a browse at the examples they had for sale.Sadly long gone now.I bought my Sprint Blue 20vt from there! Amazing car. Had to sell it due to children.

OK, another week of Coupe Fiat ownership in the bank!Looking back over the week this one has had the most ups and downs!A fairly eventful week with "Francesca" some good restoring progress, one self-inflicted drama, and the garage slowly starting to take shape.Full disclosure here, I think the car is turning me a bit mental! I get so excited about the little projects and improvements that I'm struggling to sleep. Half-awake thinking about headlining or rusty suspension arms...then I'm on the phone researching old Coupe threads. I'm a bit of slave to it, but also every night feels like Christmas Eve, so I'm just going to go with it and hope I eventually desensitise to the buzz of if all.First, the driving.I’m now onto the second tank of fuel and she genuinely feels as though she’s getting stronger the more she’s used. It could be me gaining in confidence, but after so many years of very limited use it does feel as though we’re gradually blowing 15 years of barn dust and stagnation out of her.I had a brilliant drive up past Dover Castle towards the Langdon Cliffs this week. It’s a twisty uphill section and, once the boost arrived in second, for a brief moment it felt like I was doing an old Evo magazine road test. It kind of all made sense in that moment, twisty road, great scenery and turbo on boost. Here's a photo from the top of the hill:The Coupe isn’t a car you can just switch your brain off in. Once it gets moving you have to concentrate to keep it on boost you need to think ahead so the power delivery comes in when you want it too and that's good fun in a similar way to the VTEC in my old S2000. The five-speed gearing means third feels a little long, but I guess the answer to that is more power at some point.I also finally got to the bottom of the front suspension knock. After initially thinking it had disappeared, it came back and worsened. Every time I stopped pulled away or turned right (it was louder then). I was a bit dismayed, but figured I'd try an
