 I woke up this morning to find my early Fiat 127 punted into the 'long grass', by a lowlife who elected to do a runner. Reluctantly, I'm not going to repair it (-ill health) -but it doesn't look much -outer wing & suspension at a reasoned guess; so I thought I'd offer it around quickly -before it goes over the bridge. 30,000 miles (all MOTs) 903cc of raw power, early booted model (most were hatchbacks). Taxed till Sept so it could sit -A LITTLE WHILE- if real interest expressed. On the southcoast- midway between Brighton/Portsmouth. Revos & tax disc wont come with it -except by seperate arrangement.It'll be on steels.   |

I'll know better tomorrow-but looks a simple load. Worst scenario-if I cant sort arch, is trolley jacking it.
Would have sorted today-but it never stopped raining

Ok.So, aside from the wing (-a relatively easy replace), the damage does seem limited to a bent strut:- Underseal flexed-no sign of cracking underneath A new spare strut (& used spare disc-incase!) will come with it-so it looks like about 4 -5 hours work,all in. Chassis, wishbone,rack& antiroll bar all seem fine.  When I can track down a replacement distributor cap-I'll fire it up-check its OK-but all relevant fluids remain where they should I have a two wheel dolly,so could deliver-if its a deal breaker. Sadly-its got about a week- then its over the bridge. |

If it wasn't the other end of the country i'd have been very tempted, i've always had a soft spot for the early 127's
