It has been a while since I last updated thegiuliettashop.com progress diaries due to lack of spare time. There is much to report, and I will try to bring all the information at hand to date in no specific order. Let me start with our last major project which consisted of upgrading the wiring shop….
Trying to get caught up has become an insurmountable task since returning home from a well deserved “vacation” in Spain. Note that I included quotations to the word vacation because I did manage to do some work on a couple of Giulia spiders while in Spain. But for now, it is time to celebrate a…
Here is some good progress on the 1959 Fiat 1100cc project. Since work started late last Wednesday, all the rust on the car has been removed, new patches and fabrication have been completed and welded in place. Final work, which include some lead work will be completed tomorrow. All four rear fender wells lower corners…

Work continues at good pace, the seats brackets were finished and weld to the new floors. The process of fitting the seat brackets to the floor is somewhat tricky and we must make sure to comfortably accommodate both drivers and passengers of various heights. This seems to be a common problem. I have seen on…
It is 5:00 am and before I get out of bed and with laptop on hand I am going to post a few more photos and comments before I get my day started with wiring harnesses deliveries. I am happy to say that 90 days after we started work on AR*171268 all major metal work…
