That's a funky looking little car! I like it! What do those weigh? They've got to be lighter than a beetle...

It's a 1960 with the sucide doors -- If you see it you'll realize tha it's not on a VW pan -- it's about 2/3 the size of a VW -- It has been back halfed with VW running gear though are those alfa Campagnolo wheels? sweet car.
Don't really know the wheels -- took them off a Jetta |

I drove the fiat home today from my buddies welder - I mean garage - about 2 miles with no license plates / no lights / no firewall / no brains but I had the boost turned up and it was blowing my little 205 drag radials away when it came on boost in third gear -- YYYEEESSSS
Had to burn my nickers when I got home though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice project, It`s gonna run very fast. In argentina there are a lot of Fiats but with fiat engine, there is NO fiat with VW air cooled engines Here you hace some pics of one of the quickest fiats in argentina, it has FIAT 4L cylinder 1800cc with dual 48IDF and twin dosis nitrous oxide system. Best time 9,98 segs in 1/4 mile    And here is a video VS a Yamaha R6 bike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vvdxgskjd4&feature=related |

This is far more drivable than that big type four motor I had in it -- the problem I was having disappeared after we disassembled the carb blew out all the cracks and crevises and now is working perfectly (at 18 lbs boost) must of been something in all the lines during assembly

the offset is not enough
The outlaw flat four fiat in England is running a 15" 3.5" wide erco fronts with a 3" offset and that is basically is what I need. But Erco just made their run for the year in that size and offset and he didn't leave any blanks so I'm basically screwed for a year until he makes another run or until I can find another wheel manufacture that will make the 4x98(100) fronts and the 4x130(VW) rears.
So planning on going ugly until someone can make me some nice shiny ones.
