What transmission does it have? Looks like a nice conversion.

Im Not sure where the rubber bumpers came from that was about nine years ago. I'm guessing Vicks or International Auto Parts HERE I FOUND THESE http://www.vickauto.com/newstore/index. ... ts_id=2481

I KNOW I DIDN'T PAY THAT PRICE BUT THAT WAS A WHILE BACK.GOOD LUCK

I will personally vouch for an amazing conversion. The first time I saw the car, I took a double take, seeing 5 lugs and side pipes but until you hear it, there is very little to give away this sleeper. It still amazes me how all the different parts, from chevy and ford are so discretely tucked into this fiat! Brad deserves kudos!!

Thanks Craig, That really means a lot to me. I'm very proud of it.

The first picture is when I took the car over to Alans ( SoFLaFiat ). With his kids in the car returning from a ride. Hey Alan is doing some nice work on his car too! check out his post http://www.miscuglio777881.com/

Thanks Alan for the kudos.
