well finally the sound of fingers being pulled - welcome to the brain dump of one very confused bureaucrat with an abideing fixation with motorsport and the ability to weld - just...
random thoughts to follow
bomb factory - I race old Fiats generally - namely Fiat 128's and old Fiats fall into the category of bombs.... known as bangers in the UK and probably something else in the Americas - cheap and one step away from mechanical destruction (and rust) - of course the race car is none of these things hence the witty name... oh well
I have been asked by friends so many times to get the car finished that this is away of explaining the progress - distractions and generally bloody confusion that has surrounded this build -
i.e. I am not Jessie James - okay and I don't have the resources of Prodrive either, so these things take time...
Work is progressing to date I have (among other things - I do have a life...);
-had the roll cage compleated and homologated and am now contemplating cutting the whole thing out-
- Stripped the car down to a shell
- cut out large portions of fiats finest steel
- purchased - shocks - springs - seats - steering wheel - camber plates - carbs etc
so whats the idea?
easy - take a 1971 Fiat 128 4 door sedan and spend light years turning it into a FIA group 5 wanna be
.... why not?
