Hi!
One of my Fiats a 124 Sport Coupe 1800 1976 - with no rust, but a sagging paint job....
Sorry for the pic quality - mobile camera - taken prior to import to Norway from Sweden.
Completely standard except for the wheels.
Best regards

Hi!
After really abusing this car as a daily driver/goods carrier for the whole spring, summer & autumn, I begin to realise how special these cars are.
When comparing to the family car - an Audi stationwagon - this old 75 Fiat has been utterly reliable with no real problems whatsoever. The only issues has been a leaking coolant hose, and the exhaust rear exhaust box - costing about 1/50 of what I spent on the newer Audi in the same period.
But best of all its fun to drive, a kind of mental therapy I don`t find in newer cars these days. Keeps my stress level and blood pressure under control:-) and a smile on my face every day.
Anyway some last pictures before it is parked for the winter - waiting for some uprated suspension bushes, better springs and dampers, and a 2 litre fast road engine transplant.
Definately a different car in the garage. Stands out in the crowd these days - biggest problems seems to be the sensitive car alarm on my neighbours car going off every time I start the car. LOL...
16 Inch Integrale wheels and tyres really made a difference to both look and handling.
They just do not make cars like this anymore.... too bad.
Best regards

Hi!
Now some quick pictures of the engine that will go into my 124 this spring:
More pictures to follow during build.
131 2 l Block painted / new freeze plugs / flexhoned cylinders
Crank modified oilways polished edges
Cleaning the inside passages with oil and pressurized air. This is after removal of crank plugs and removing sludge!! Still a lot of dark oil coming out.
1800 124 pistons with new rings wich all checked in within Fiat end gap specs:-)
New main bearings installation
Best regards
