I'm new to the forum and I thought I'd share some photos of my 131 gravel rally car. I compete in all events from club rallies and State Championships, to the Australian Rally Championship. This is an 8V 2 litre with a standard gearbox, but a Volvo (Dana) rear end with a torson LSD and 4:56 gears running 15" wheels. I've had a variety of brakes on the front, but I currently have WRX discs and Nissan R33 calipers - otherwise it's all Fiat right down to the power windows!
I love the car, and it is such a stable platform (or should I say forgiving!) and instils confidence. I'm building a 131 Abarth replica at the moment to compete in the Classic category of the Australian Rally Championship and hopefully knock off some of these BDA Escorts - plenty of them and no Fiats. I'll try and post some progressive build photos as it slowly moves forward. There's so many great cars on the forum I'm a little embarrassed, as we never got Abarths or 131r's out here, actually we never got anything exotic really in the way of european vehicles, but I hope someone enjoys the photos.
thank you,
Alex

Re: 131 Rally Car
Sorry Guy,
These are the thumbnail proofs I was sent, and have since purchased the photos and the right to reproduce them - I'm a bit of a techno moron and don't know how to download the others. I'll organise alternate photos until I can download and upload the purchased prints.
My apologies,
Alex
A couple of compliant photos for the rally enthusiasts.

- Note the road sign in the background - I hit a tree head-on about 5 minutes later (prophetic)
