Got a small fiat pickup , front and engine in good order , back is fairly rotton , whats the thoughts on cutting it in half and make a new back end and put a flat buck on the back ,
Or just sell it for parts

It's a Fiat... they don't go straight anyway!

I resent the quote that Fiat's don't go straight, as a previous owner of one i can assure you they do.....straight to scrappy...........

In my previous job we had a Fiat Tempra SW as a pool car - damn thing was awful to drive, but no matter what anyone tried it just wouldn't die - even significant quantities of unleaded didn't do it.

Close one eye and hold your thumb up as you weld it together

A line of string almost touching both front and back sidewall of front and back wheels to get alignment ballpark. Laser alignment that can measure rurnout to get it deadon.

I'm guessing it's a Fiorino/strada pickup?

They're a monocoque construction so require the sides of the vehicle to provide strength.

You can't just flat bed it as there is no chassis and would soon fall in half.
