Title: Repair help needed
Post by: anboca on February 16, 2015, 01:53:55 PM
Hi, I'm working in my 131 CL 1600 and have a little problem. Working on the fuse box, I see a little rotten part hidden by the dash. When the dash was off, I see this:

Right part

Left part
(http://i57.tinypic.com/zu0fft.jpg)

It seems to be very hard to repair, do you have any advice?

Thanks for the help!

Its the beginning of the end  :-\ unless you strip off the wings and find the rest of it cause that will only be the first bit ................

 Or put it all back and forget about it  8)

 till you get a better one

I think if you want to keep this car, you can start watching the restoration of several Fiat here in the "Project corner" and call YAGMUR for parts  ;)

I just watched your 131 and I think the low front body is very ill and body back down too. we can see (I think) a lot of sealant in them
if you scratch below you'll realize!
Your 131 has real problems identical to all the other
good luck

Front wings off, front screen out and then cut the scuttle panel (below windscreen) off. You can then access the area fully to do the necessary repairs ;)
