                            ''halfpint''

     Well i have had Halfpint for a few years now. She has cost me a fortune but i love her to bitz.
she was a birthday gift from fullpint. She makes my wallet scream and me smile. When i got her she needed a blood transfusion, a service and new parts and bitz and defo a good tidy up.

     A bit about her:

1996 cinquecento sporting abarth 1.1
GSR induction kit
Strut brace
14 inch fox evo 2 alloys in silver with sparkle lacquer
lowered 40mm
Full original storm body kit
10 inch sub and amplifier, 2  4 x 6 speakers  2  6 x 9 speakers, 2  4 inch dash speakers, 2 tweeters
Smoothed , delocked and debadged boot
Smoothed, debadged bad boy bonnet
Paint was rage extreme ecstacy green to copper red flip paint, now rainbow black. courtesy of ben r's handy work.
Modified and smooth fuel filler neck, located on inside of drivers door
Ripspeed steering wheel
Powerflow dual centre exhaust

here's a vid for ur viewing.

Since i have had her she has had complete fuel filler neck replaced, engine mounts done, new gear box, clutch replaced, wheels refurbed, new exhaust system, lots of minor bitz replaced, strut brace, ripspeed steering wheel, rocker cover powdercoated red, rear bumper brackets replaced, the wiring on top of the fuel tank replaced now that's a long story and more . can't remember everything. lmao. I must thank all the rebels who have given me advice and help over the past few yrs.

At the moment i am plasti coating her door cards, arm rests and inside door handle surrounds.
May do the center console not sure at the moment maybe at a later date. I need to look for a really good interior carpet to replace her tired current carpet, new head unit is on the cards.

Several times fullpint has asked why not get rid of it, she is always having a prob. My answer: i can't she's part of my anatomy and can't bear to part with her. I will run her til she drops. which hopefully isn't for a very long time yet. What can i say once bitten forever hooked. you never know may look into a 1242 conversion in the future for her as well.

i plan on keeping her until she has had her day i reckon. cinqs are a great little pocket rocket to drive and bags of fun.
