Title: Re: Registeration Post by: Thotos on April 01, 2008, 12:21:50 AM I decided it was genuine and hopefully I am not wrong. All new registrations are now moderated as mentioned in the sticky post (http://131mirafiori.com/smf/index.php?topic=104.0) at the top.
Title: Re: Registeration Post by: Shovel on April 01, 2008, 12:23:42 AM Hello Eugene,I am genuine ?:)
Have been reading threads on here for a while and figured it was about time I joined up.I've got an 82 Fiat 131 Supermirafiori,2 litre with twin 40 solexs. Awesum fun to drive,gets very loose in the rain ?;) A project I've got is a 54 Ford Anglia that I've put all the running gear out of a 124 sport into,1.6 litre 5 speed,twin downdraught solexs. So "Hi everyone" ?great forum you've got here ?:) Title: Re: Registeration Post by: simon131 on April 01, 2008, 07:35:40 AM Hi Shovel,
And a very warm welcome to the forum. 8) Looks like a pretty tidy 2000TC Super - and I even quite like the wheels 8) I'm always pleased to read that people have interests in other marques too. I like the "For-iat 1-2-lia" - will be a real wolf in sheep's clothing when it's all finished. ;D Where are you from? RHD Super mirafiori (not a brava) so UK or NZ? ;D Title: Re: Registeration Post by: Shovel on April 01, 2008, 08:02:21 AM Hi Simon,
Thanks for the welcome :) My Fiat is still quite tidy and rust free,it was lucky enough to get the tecktell ?? protective coating.The wheels came off a 125T,I think they give it quite a nice stance on the road,they have a wide offset so I had to bend up the lip in the rear arches.I think of my Fiat powered Anglia as a "FANGIT" and it will be a wolf in sheeps clothing,its the sound that will give it away ;D I'm from NZ,these Fiats seem to be pretty rare down here,I had a Mirafiori that was quite rotten so I stripped what I could off it but other than that I haven't seen one on the roads in the last couple of years.
