This FIAT 2300 was a head turner in 1963 and still is today.

good you give an overview of what has to be done on this Fiat. It will be a beautiful car once finished. i am astonished she is quite good conserved . You give a good explanation; it is a real nice car; i must admit. Good Luck. i hope to see the evolution of the restauration.

Touch up? When you dip or soda-blast that one the truth comes out. It’s a lot of holes. But really beautiful car.

I've owned two of these and they are super stylish and great sounding cars. However, as requested, I suggest you research the parts cost for the mechanical side of things before starting on the rest. Parts are tricky to find and can be very expensive.

Exactly, rear calipers shared with Lambo Miura (1200/1500£ each), front calipers with Ferrari Dino 2000 (500 each) electric windows motors with Maserati 3500 Vignale (1200/1500 £ each), brake discs to be hand made (500£ each), brake boosters with other rare prestigious models, but also fortunately a lot of parts with the cheap Seat 1500 in Spain

​@@jeanfrancoismouclier1698 thanks for your information. Do you know if the 4 speed manual gearbox is shared with other fiat products?

[@jeanfrancoismouclier1698]

On the coupe the 3d and 4th gears are a bit longer than on the sedan in order to reach 240 mph About size and position of bolts on the clutch bell they are the same on couupe annd sedan. Not any other fiat model use this gearbox. Do you have problems with your gearrbox ? Jeff

[@267charly]

​@@jeanfrancoismouclier1698 thanks. My gearbox is fine but it leaks quite badly and i can't find any seals for it. So I think I have to have them custom made.

The caliper repair kits and even caliper pistons can be used from the Volvo P1800! These are cheap! @@jeanfrancoismouclier1698

Just be sure your wallet is filled up and it'll be fine. Designed by Sergio Sartorelli with contributions from Tom Tjaarda, for Ghia. Great piece!

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

Please, keep it original...

[@adamburton99]

How much was this bought for & fully restored, what would it be worth? Its a big project- i wish you good luck

[@Schlipperschlopper]

These cars are nice but much too slow in stock condition! You can install a BMW inline 6 for more power!

I’m in no hurry to drive fast;)
