Random 128 Pictures
Here is a shot of fellow fiat fan Phil Greys 128 SL coupe - freshly painted and just prior to a physics lesson at Pukekohe's castrol corner - havent seen the *after* shots yet - I hope the damage is minor....The car above is a South American 4 door in Orange - the Bomb Factory likes this car very much and it mimics our proposed ride height and front roll cage concepts

Patch Work
Been a hectic couple of weeks - family has all been down with the flu.... no car time ( walking dead might be a better descriptor) anyways - welded in some the right hand side patch panel in the boot well and completed the wheel tub - needs a bit of trimming and a good skim of filler but its in - amazing how much that tightens up the unibody.... some small patches to finish on that side and then repeat on the left... take a full day for me to do a side.
Just bought a new house - so the car will hibernate for a while (about 6 weeks I am betting) then another three days of work should see the shell ready for its new roll cage......
I have decided against a steering quickener at this stage - the jury was out on whether it would add to the package so I will do some empirical testing and try the std setup first - with the 12inch wheel I have it should be okay.

Reconstruction
<news flash> The 128 now has a drivers floor tray..... all welded in and fitting okay.... next stop the wheel tubs hopefully in by this time next week. - will take the camera along next time and do some updated shots - as a confirmed luddite I don't own a digital camera.... they cost as much as a set of shocks - which I do own... simple really
