1960 - ROSS BOGAART’S FIAT 600D
a man who's up for a challenge. Now we'll be the first to admit a Fiat 600 was not on top of our list of potential project cars, but there's no denying the end result is cute and probably quick.
However it was a less sunny situation when he picked it up. The thing was essentially a shell with a collection of boxes containing a somewhat dishevelled assortment of bits. Not a promising start.
There were dramas with panel-beaters that caused years of delay and, then he had a battle when he went to register it because the rego folk had never heard of one!
But you know what the stroke of genius is in this project? The little Turbo Suzuki motor out back – more poke and far better reliability. Smart.
