I actually got to hear her fire up and run well at the shop. I'm glad I had the red one there for parts, since so far I'm only in for labor (owtch.). All parts have been pulled from Uno...
However, I do need some help finding the following:
RADIATOR. Bad holes in the SE, and too much corrosion in the red one.
INTERIOR PANELS. Door panels and the back sections. The vinyl is ok, but the backing is rotted out.
A dash cap and a wiper bottle would be nice as well, but I'll take what I can get.
I do have trading stuff, so tell me what you want, and we can deal!
Grazie!

If you can spend the money
Re-core the best radiator in your possesion, (side tanks are all they re-use), or I can sell you my used one that is partially plugged, only at the drain plkug hole, with stop leak and could use a good cleaning, flush from same and some paint because I just got my heavy duty re-cored back from our local rad shop, $250 with a larger core than original. My old one doesn't leak and the temps were always fine, but that plugged up drain hole I found when re-working the car over he last several months bugged me, had to remove the lower hose to drain the rad, it does have a slight drip with the drain plug out now so I am pretty sure a professional biol/flush woill clean it out. The stop leak was put in the car for a bad head gasket and heater core, I originally did it way back when I had it the first time for the heater core, then the guy I sold it to and bought it back from did it before he re-did the head for head gasket leaking
Interior panels:
For the fronts, have an uhpolstery shop make new ones re-using the leather inserts, beyound the leather inserts, the rest is just cheap cardboard and vinyl. Shouldn't run more than about $150 to $200 a panel. Good used ones are about impossible to find since that's about the first trim part on Betas to go bad, normally because someone works in the door and doesn't install the rain shield back properly or leaves them out all together
Dash caps are avialible at most vendors, around $100, try Bruce's Parts Bin, he may have them still, although he has been slowly heading towards retirement. www.fiatparts.com tell him I sent ya! I consider him a good friend
Washer bottle:
Save yourself the headach and just order a new one from Beta Boyz, even if you get a good used one, you will break it re-installing the fill cap due to it's age and brittleness, and a used one from eBay or the like will cost pretty much about the same as the roughly $60 Beta Boyz gets for one, (current exchange rates may have run that up considerably, but it isn't Beta Boyz fault), .........BTDT
Just a thought mind you, I know we try like hell to keep the costs down on these turds, but sometimes and some things are just not worth trying to go used with, and most of your requests are just those type items
