Title: Re: abarth question? Post by: simon131 on March 29, 2014, 10:14:51 AM Enzo is quite correct. ;D
Steel rear panel with fibreglass front and rear quarter panels and bonnet. Aluminium door skins on steel frames. Lorf, it might be worth contacting Kevin at RSD in Yorkshire, UK, as I understand he has amassed a library of Abarth literature and 'official' technical data to assist him in remanufacturing parts for his 131 Rallyes. He might have what you're looking for. :) |
