Title: 131 racing or abarth replica? Post by: lorf on May 22, 2014, 07:07:01 PM As the subject says..... I have a 131 racing that was intended to be an abarth replica.. but I'm having second thoughts about it. What's the "public" opinion? The car isn't so bad that it can't be rescued...

A nice sport is lovely .. But then so is a nice replica .. It's really a personal thing ..it depends on what visually does it for you .. You will get plenty of views here on what's best , but it's your car & when you look out the window at it in a year or 2 When it's finished .. You got to ask yourself , which will put a bigger smile on your face ? The finished Sport. Or the finished Replica ? Title: Re: 131 racing or abarth replica? Post by: bellamacchina on May 22, 2014, 08:17:36 PM Old discussion, 1 answer, leave it Original, there are plenty of half way finished or unfinished Abarthski projects around( and also a few really nice great and good ones) but there flows a lot of money in.

A nice Racing will 1 Need less cash flow. 2 Be easier to gather the parts for. 3 Be finished sooner because of 1 & 2. 4 Be a nice tractable street car that will get used often Some times we can go overboard & create a monster when all we really wanted was an animal. A nice racing can purr & if needs arise it can also growl. O. Title: Re: 131 racing or abarth replica? Post by: c.a.c131 on May 22, 2014, 10:32:32 PM Leave it as a silver Racing :) please ?

Title: Re: 131 racing or abarth replica? Post by: simon131 on May 23, 2014, 06:17:08 AM I'd say leave it as a Racing especially as the body doesn't look that rotten.
Title: Re: 131 racing or abarth replica? Post by: Fiat 131 Abarth#2 on May 23, 2014, 07:11:11 AM i think only a handful can build a Abarth replica from a racing!
and yes it's correct as Albert says there are plenty of half way finished or unfinished Abarth projects. If you like the Abarth style, rebuild it like the Walter R?hrl edition, with roofspoiler, rear spoiler and the Abarth engine bonnet. like Robert: http://www.131mirafiori.com/smf/index.php?PHPSESSID=dhi5gvinrbhmmjsiqj8atm25g2&topic=4025.0 Title: Re: 131 racing or abarth replica?
