Good to be back 👍🏻
Need to get a few bits done to make it shine properly. Lacquer has flaked off in a few areas. |

My 145 is back on the road on Thursday. Can’t wait. Will get it cleaned up and some more pictures posted over the weekend 😀👍🏻
I’m really excited if you can’t tell....I haven’t driven it properly in the best part of 10 years. I’ve owned it since 2004. Ganz....it’s already got a 40mm lowering kit on which I had done in 2005 I think. |

Hey Nobby-
that's great news! The big thing you will find amazing upon driving it again; is the steering. Can't wait to hear how you get on... |

Back in the garage waiting for the new one to arrive. |

Back on the road for a week now. Brand new radiator only cost £53 with free delivery from eBay.
Job list as I’ve discovered so far. Cable not connected to the heater box so no warm air. Exhaust could do with being replaced. Boot latch playing up and takes ages to close. Also leaves boot light on when closed. Boot struts could do with replacing. Offside door handle, trim above offside rear window, grille, bonnet and bumper to paint as lacquer is lifting. Change to brighter headlight bulbs ( any recommendations ) Fix airbag warning light ( drivers seat connection replacement ) Completely strip and replace under seal ( gotta keep the rot away ) Replace front and rear badges. And probably a hundred more I haven’t stumbled on yet. So many little jobs to do but it’s to be expected after sitting for so long. |

Well done
I can see the boot catch being a problem- but I think the heater cable would be the biggest priority for me! I've still never replaced the gas struts in the tailgate ( ![]() Having said that- I'm spending a lot of time on the stereo at the moment- and that's hardly important in the scheme of things. Do you have a cover to keep it under for the winter, Nobby..? A lot of the FIAT Coupe guys swear by these Osram Nightbreaker lamps- look 'em up- that would be my recommendation. |

You can never lower it too much.. I replaced my boot struts to save my head being severed everytime i put the groceries in the back. I brought some marrelis from a Latvian eBayer. One of the best replacements i did. Amazing how heavy the boot is. I don't have a rear badge on mine only a Kmoon wiper grommet as i have ditched the rear wiper. Quite like the idea of keeping people guessing when i get in front which is as often as possible. Use the fiatmultiscan paid version to get rid of the airbag error code.
