Title: yes, i found a 131!
Post by: simon abarth on August 29, 2014, 11:03:54 PM
hello guys, this is it, I found a 131 ::)a 400 kilometers from my home!
model 131 diesel 2500 Series 2, 4 doors, it's not terrible, slept for 11 years in a broken car, but the plan is to turn it into two doors!
I'll get it next Saturday, and for now, I will gather all the parts, and when there are any, I would start the project. will be the hardest to find 2 door coupe ???
I also need a dashboard 1 series, and sheet metal part with rear lights Series 1,
 after, for the engine and transmission I have what I need I think
see you later,
pascal.

hi, I am looking for information on the gearbox 131 diesel 2500 (SOFIM engine) you know if we can keep it on the car to replace the motor with a dohc. just by changing the bell?
the clutch shaft will not go either? or the number of
splines and the diameter is the same ???
I have not the box under the eyes.
Fiat rose this gearbox to another?
thank you for your answers
pascal.

Bonjour Pascal,

Tu pouvais cr?er une copie du London-Sidney Abarth Diesel, comme ?a tu pouvais laisser le moteur et tous le bazar en place  ;D

You could create a copy of the Abarth Diesel, that would save you the trouble of changing the engine and driveline.

Have a nice day,

Yves

Building an Abarth Diesel is a very good idea - better than building just another 2door replica. As it is, soon there will be more "Abarth" replicas than orignals were built. Not brilliant.

Hi Pacal!
I think you should build an Abarth diesel like Yves says but change the engine to a Ducato 2,8TD
with a powerbox and get almost 150 diesel horsepower!
( in my dreams )

That would be an awsome 131 Abarth , very torquy and fast and not much heavier than the normal 2,5 131 diesel but double amount of hp and great drivebility!

Cheers
Alf
