Bit of a shot in the dark but their might be someone here with Italian cars. Has anyone used Gran Turismo of LA for work on their car?

Not me, but the question is intriguing!

I'm sure this is a bit sacrilegious here but I'm converting a 65 fiat 500 to electric. My sister discovered bring a trailer and here we are. Unfortunately they only sell the kit's to shops and they are the one in ca to do the work. Should be interesting to drive once it's done as the kit doubles the power and it's already an absolute riot at 17hp.

Sacrilege! Oh wait, you already said that. Should make a fun around town car I suppose but not as much fun as shifting and hearing that little engine rev up. :)

yeah it will be perfect for her in san fran. On the plus side I kinda want one now and might get a free engine out of it. Absolutely shocking how much room those little cars have.

On the one hand I LOVE your 500 ! .

On t'other I too am sad to see it converted but conversion beats the junkyard any day .

YELP has good reviews of this shop, I see they work on pretty much everything .

Let us know how it goes .
