The ABS sensors are really rare & can't be found new, so you need to save them. Keep up the good work!

Nice video. This is a car that is worth to refurbish what needs refubushing. I just love this car. It is one of my dream cars. I am surprised how similar all those parts are to the mk1 Puntos.

I have a 1995 16v turbo coupe and it has absolutely no rust. Always stored in the garage. Has this coupe been in a lake for many years? Strange that it is so rusty!

Hi mate, how do you press the bushings back in the subframe, had a nightmare finding someone to do it last time and the engineer who did it said it was difficult to find a way to do it creating the right diameter tubing etc? Any tips?
@ItaliaAutos Жыл бұрын
Bearing press. Any other way is very hard.
@stevensullivan661 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply Neil, love your work and your gung-ho attitude to getting it done. Yeah definitely, just found it very difficult to get the right diameter pieces to use in the press, don't suppose you know anything specific that works or do you just have unknown pieces that you've gathered from bearings etc over time?@@ItaliaAutos

Elle est restée probablement immobilisée longtemps, à l'extérieur sur un terrain humide, à un moment de sa vie. C'est sans doute l'explication de la rouille. Sinon, en conditions normales, même après 20 ou 25 ans, les Coupé (the good pronunciation is "Coupay" 😉 ) restent saines.
