Every Friday has become "Fiat Friday" lately. I have Fridays off from work, so its a good time to work on the car. I spent much of today reorganizing the garage. After a large garage sale last September, I still can't figure out how we have so much stuff?!
I was able to setup an 8ft table along the far wall of the garage. This will be one of my work areas. I also plan to setup some shelves to store and catalog all the parts I am taking off of the car.
After a few hours of reorganizing and cleaning, I finally got to work on the car. Today I continued to pull out all the liners, rubber mat lining and other debris inside the car.
This is a tow bar that Jack, the previous owner, built for the Fiat. I'm not sure what I will do with it. If I need to move the car, I have a cargo trailer in which it will fit nicely.
After cleaning out more of the interior, I decided to take off the canvas top. Yes, Giovanni has a soft top sunroof! I needed to take this off so I have more access to the interior, and so that I can keep it in good shape.
Here is the canvas top folded partway back. There is a leather strap at the back that is used to tie down the top when driving. You can see Katrina's Metropolitan Scooter in the background. We are thinking of a red and white, or an orange and black paint/interior scheme for Giovanni.
I still need to pull the engine, but am waiting for a few essential tools. In the meantime, I will continue to strip the car down to its shell.
