Return to work and... obviously... the questions

[N. Dinis]

But as I just can't stop, I started grouping material for the later on Abarth look... And here's a few parts together....
I was planning to use this for the window elevator... But the position of the handle would be worst than in the stratos as J. Clarkson said in the Lancia episode of Top Gear.... So tomorrow I'll look for a pair of electric elevators to try to sort that one out:


fibre door


doors small bits and rear lights


The problem with the lights relays is also solved finnaly

[N. Dinis]

Update, the electric elevators are fitted in the doors I'm happy with the results












Resprayed the front grille and a headlight support ( Got to find the other )

[N. Dinis]

Triangles are on place, windows running in their place so all I have to do is create a little support to center the window in the elevator Next step is applying the jerrycan in the rear passenger seat and drive the car to the mot. Then I car start with the big steps.... Let's say that this is a warm up

[N. Dinis]

Annother day some more news. I was a bit worried about the interiors because I couldn't  find them anywhere, also one of the dual headlights support was missing but today everyone showed up. Or almost, I just can't find the door locks and their respective handle, has well as the hinges :S

[N. Dinis]

Today there are no pictures but my car is ready for MOT. Hopefully Monday I'll get there Pray for me so real work can go on.... This weekend I've been helping a friend of mine preparing a argenta volumex for MOT too. If all goes well Monday we will drive together

Are you going to shift the b pillar?

[N. Dinis]

Yep, that's the plan The car ended up to stay at home because the Tee connector of the water hoses in the cylinder head broke Got to find a new one. Here are 2 photos about my inspiration ...

[N. Dinis]

Guys I need help, the car is finnaly running, but the water temperature in the dash rises to max in a few minutes, the strange about this is that there is no water pressure in the tubes, I can open the radiator and there everything looks fine.... So what can it be? air in the circuit? the car was sideways when I fill it....

[N. Dinis]

Sorry to insist but I'm freakin out here :S Is it possible that the water sensor in the head got "lazy" and opens too soon?

[mirafioriman]

Do you have access to a thermometer to check the actual temperature? It's possible there is a fault with the temperature sender or gauge.

[N. Dinis]

I do also think that the sender should be the problem, but it's weird it works so smooth until the top... it takes a while... +/- 4 minutes

[Thotos]

Is this a standard Fiat twin cam engine with one temperature sensor in the head or a Lancia unit with two temperature sensors?

[Sev131]

Suspect you have an air lock. Remove the hose from the top of the radiator and pour coolant down into the head till it is full then reconnect.

[N. Dinis]

The engine is a standard Fiat 131 Racing unit, I've thought the same you did Sev... Just didn't know how to solve it, because there was almost no water in the heater radiator

[N. Dinis]

Sev you where right, it was air in the circuit...  Problem solved... So, everything looked fine and so let's go to MOT.... Yeah right.... Like it was going to be kind to me... The car idles fine, on neutral rev's up nicely, but on the road starts to bump and shuts down like it ran out of fuel.... Start it again and it's always the same.... With this one coil is fried....
