131mirafiori forum

Hi Life has many twists and turns. Having sold all my Fiats due to a change in my life,lost our son and lost my wife  last year. needed a change in wheels. Still starts with a F.Not a prancing horse but a Pony. But still looking at buying a 125 Special to restore. Can't have to many cars. Great to have a good many BHP at the right foot.Have got Logan who works for me in my ear all the time about his 131R that he has just bought. Never far from Fiats. Cheers Gary

Hi Gary, Good to see you are still about, I think we both have not posted on site for a similar amount of time, your reasons being far more devastating than mine!
So sorry to hear this, my vocabulary fast runs out when trying to express my sympathies, but I hope there is an end to that dark tunnel.
I saw your Racing come up for sale at the time, good to hear the Fiat bug is still there.

Jeremy. 

Thanks Jeremy. There is meant to be a reason for everything but haven't worked this one out. We bought the Mustang after we lost our son. Put a smile on the wifes face. She used it as a daily drive, Being right hand drive was a bonus.She never let anyone pass her either in the Stilo or Pony. Where are you with your car at the moment. Cheers Gary

That Pony defiantly has a good dose of attitude!

I am still slowly working my way through the conversion, I have recently acquired a 16v turbo Lancia Thema for its wiring which has given the 131 a bit of a kick along. Unfortunately prior to that I bought another R which diverted my attention for a good 12 months ::)
But my thoughts are occasionally turning to paint work these days so I must be progressing I think?

This is not a great photo, but it is the most recent.      

Thats looking very trick.Wolf in sheeps clothing.The Pony does have attitude .Put a Borla Exhaust system on it, Now it can be heard.Makes the  kids on the street smile.And me when i plant it.
