Post by: Early126 on March 06, 2016, 08:41:01 PM
Here's my ride.
My first fiat, acquired in a deal exchanging my  vw beetle drag car.
Same configuration with air cooled engine at the back so will be just the same right !?  Only about 140 bhp less ..

Hi. I'm Dean.
This is my 73 Abarth.

I'll post up a million questions in the mech section next !

Hi.
This is the advert text from about 3 yrs ago. Since this time its not really covered many miles, so although it looks in great condition Im currently running through the whole car - bushes, hoses, leaks etc etc.

Ive had to put new steering knuckles on and actually still have a knock, so wheel bearings next. Also replaced brake cylinders and lines and as you will see in the Mech Tech forum, Im looking at the fuelling and breathing on the motor.

Just cant wait to drive it !

Here's the old advert >>
