Hello Guys
I am in France. I love to have a look at your cool cars on this forum. I does not seem that any other Fuego was shown here... so let's go. |

Some picture when it arrived at home after 250 kilometers epic journey

Hi Pa Bunta. I saw one of this in the background on an old Last of the Summerwine and wondered what the hell it was. Very unique looking car |

180000 kilometer on the tacho. Drives well, but had some malfunctioning on the carburettor some time. So decided to buy this
And changed the parts that were too much worn 
After that, no more troubles on road, a real pleasure.

The engine was still doing some valve noises. So I decided to adjust valve clearance. I was far better after the adjustement, engine revs good till 6000rpm... but I am still a bit desappointed, it sounds still valve Noisy :-( Maybe I have to redo the adjustement....

The main next plan is to refresh the drivetrains. New parts are no more available, for months I am looking for bushes to rebuilt axles. |

These are great looking cars I always wanted one when I was younger.
But I have noticed a problem with all of the pictures of fuego's that have been posted above, which has unsettled me, none of them seem to have a dent slightly left of centre on the back bumper, I have never seen one in the wild in the UK without this dent, which I always presumed to be caused by a combination of limited rear visibilty and a bollard.
They are equally as attractive without it though.
