Fiat 131 build

[BlackBII]

Thanks!

I started stripping the other wheel well

By next week, I should have some lower control arms made and the front end will be back on the ground.

My new rod ends and ball joints came in, now I just need some tubing and I'll make my new lower control arms. These are chromoly 3/4 teflon coated rod ends and mazda RX7 ball joints, to match my RX7 knuckles.

The sway bar will be mounted differently, and the lower control arm will become a wishbone type.

Once I get some tubing, I'll weld them together.

I have some pics for you fools. Bodykit came in from Poland, and I started cutting metal off the car

I took a break from the 131 this weekend and did some upgrades to my working space. I applied an epoxy coating to the floor, painted the walls white to brighten it up, built some shelves and a workbench, and reorganized everything to make working on the 131 a little easier

Whatever happened with this build???

Still going Jim.

Just picked up a 2.5 Duratec to use in lieu of that boat anchor cast iron 2.3.

Judging by the dust on top of my car, one would think I did too.

Just got a laser cut oil pan flange for the duratec from a guy on TurboRangerForums. Once I have the oil pan welded up I can mount the engine.

Man this reminds me of a yugo built me and few friends were trying to build back in the day . Low funds so it didn't get to run . Was going fender flares and all like you . Keep it coming


I just wanna go fast [emoji48]
