Daily Driver
Hello folx, oh and in advance I apologize for any misspellings as English is my 3rd language
I purchased a 74 128 2-door a while ago, and has been working on it for quite some time. So I thought that a few pictures wouldn't hurt, I am just an amateur when it comes to cars. So I am trying to make the best out of it. I have a passion for older Italian cars. The fiat I bought in Malmø, Sweden, just a mile or two from the Danish border.
It made the trip all the way home (some 600km) on its own.
Before I went to get it I asked for pictures and a story. According to the owner it had little to no rust and was a one-owner-car before him. The "little to no rust" claims weren't true. In fact it has been through numerous sloppy rust repairs which were hidden under massive layers of bondo and fiberglass.
My goal here is to make the car look better paint it in the same color and bring it up to 70-75hp like the rally version. The same goes for the the appearance, as much of a rally original look as I can get.
Also, I have read Courtney's page and found a rear sway-bar application which is a must have for our Norwegian curvy mountain roads.
As far as money goes, well... I guess it is sort of a budget project, but rarely can anyone afford/find all the pieces right away. With time there will be more little upgrades.
