Alfa V6 Cinquecento progress pictures
"Project Cinq" has been a bit on and off over the 2 or 3 years since it began.
Being over in Aus and New Zealand for a year didn't help matters, she was in a right state when I got back and wouldn't talk to me for
months!
Getting on fine now though and theres been lots of progress recently, mainly building the cage, which links to the Alfa 164 subframe at the rear and
suspension pick ups on the shell at the front. Its a mixture of T45 and ERW tubing which I bent on the mandrel bender at work and have been
clambering around like a monkey Tigging it all up.
In case yr wondering, I'm mounting the tank, radaitor(s), battery and silencers up front. Most of its mounted now but I don't have pictures
yet. Front track has been widened to match the rear with fabricated long wishbones, MR2 Mk1 uprights, new strut towers welded in and track rod arm
extensions. Steering quickener (epicyclic gearbox in 1.5:1 or 2:1 ratio from the states) to go in to help get the opposite lock on quickly 
Can I post a few pictures at once?
ps If anyone wants an Alfa 164 Cloverleaf 12v in need of TLC or perfect donar let me know!!

Wow That footage is awsome! Didn't know there was a mid engined Sei out there, toatally inspiring!!
Why was everyone else driving like complete pansies??
Sorry I can't find a way of reducing the size of my pictures. I can build cars but computers are a mystery!! Can it be done through paint? I
don't have Piantshop or anything fancy like that. Oh no, I likes to keep it simple and old school see. Whats wrong with wood? Why aren't
more of you building cars out of wood? You know where you are with wood. Mmmmm.

Open your picture in Paint go to Image, then Stretch/Skew, I set the Stretch Horizontal and Vertical setting both to 30% to get this picture below.
Also save as a Jpeg makes for a much smaller file, started off as a 11.5mb bitmap file ends up as a 58Kb file
Cheers

Thanks David, think I've got it sorted! Hopefully this one will come out a sensible size... (latest progress at the front end)
