It also looked rough, as several months languishing in a seaport awaiting shipment to the USA had left every fastener with less than ideal plating - meaning all of them - with a uniform layer of surface rust. The engine sheet metal was also painted a rather undignified shade of school bus yellow. Something had to be done.
I was interested in seeing what was on the inside. The obvious worry with a production-based car is that along the way the special Abarth parts might have been replaced with something more mundane. Fortunately that was not the case. More to come.
