No photos yet, but I stopped over at his garage, and he is pulling the dents and some places are bad, the holes will be welded up, holes where made from a previous body man or do it your self, tom ( my brother ) just shakes his head at this and asking why why are you fixing a fiat. Lol

You all know what I am doing and I am just wondering if I need a special oil pan or just a plain 2.0 pan
Beek had other ideas and well any ways I just am not sure what route to take on that, wing pan, or stock 2.0 pan
