Its all about to change ..

Hey guys how are you all ? ..

Things are ever changing in the development of our 128 race cars .. so much that we have decided to move on. Ever evolving rules and regulations in the race class we run in has changed where we now run in the class - and in the spirit of a "classic car" decided that the car is really as modified as we want it to be. The reality is, if i want to make the car any faster, its going to need some very serious cutting and modifying of original components - things like glass windscreen will have to come out, and lexan fitted - fibreglass panels or carbon fibre - wings, etc etc etc. Its all getting a little bit outside what the car was really intended for .. so we have decided to run the car a few more times, then it will be up for grabs for some lucky new owner !

At the same time, this means that not only the Blue/White race car will be up for sale, the yellow/black car will also be for sale. Its almost complete, and will definitely be finished over the next few weeks.

ALSO to top that off .. i have been working furiously on the black car (originally brown, nicknamed Milo) to get that one finished too .. it was too good to use as a donor car for the race car, so turned it into a hot little road car :). Please contact me if your interested in buying it ...
Its about 95% ready to sell .. just awaiting the freshly rebuilt carb to come back for it.

The black car is an NZ new, genuine 3 owner 1979 Fiat 128 Sedan. When i bought it this time last year, it had a 1300 in it, with very low oil pressure, and suspected run bearings.
The motor was lifted out, and an early Fiat X19 1500 plonked in the hole. Its got a 128SL inlet manifold (opened up to suit the 34DATR carb that will be shortly put on), 128SL headers, and a larger freeflow exhaust. Its also got a freshly rebuild radiator, new battery, lowered suspension, Fiat X19 wheels with good tyres, and pioneer CD player. The paint is a subaru black with heavy
red pearl (it looks almost burgundy/purple in the sunlight). Its the most rust free 128 we have ever stumbled across. Its also got a pair of really nice RS legacy bucket seats fitted, and will be sold with a brand new WOF & Rego. - $3500 O.N.O

Heres some pics of "Milo" as it sits now after alot of man hours of work :)
I think you'll be surprised at how good it looks (and drives). I've also got a new project to share with you .. Its almost a Fiat .. some would think, possibly even cooler.
