Groet Fred, yes Sir got email thank you, I have the Abarth badge and triangle grill(top left), can you make 2 or the main grill? ....and I do like the 850 forum but just getting used to Dutch translation. Good to see like on this forum , we (Ras and I) are not the only ones in the world, just local fiat/abarth nuts!

I'm busy with the collingsystem and I'm waiting for some parts.

Meanwhile I'm not doing nothing!! Some history. Did anyone studied all the pictures that you can find of the OT1600 closely.
You can see something on this picture, that tells a lot!!
A tip: Look at the a-pilar of the car!!

I've got a request. I'm looking for an article of the OT1600 in the Gold Portfolio Fiat 850.
If anyone will scan this article I would be very happy!!

Or maybe can someone give me the contents of this book, so I can find the original article!!

This is the cover of the book.

The pistons are great, but I have some little waterdamage in the cilinders.
After some work the cilinders are in better shape.
The bearings are looking great.
Tomorrow the crankshaft is goning out of the engine and I will clean the block with high pressure steam.
Than I'll brush the engine and paint it in an aluminium color.

[fredabarth]

Today cleaned the engine and gave it the new aluminium color.

[fredabarth]

And the color. Tomorrow cleaning up the crankshaft and the pistons.
