Should they have any questions ask me.

Byee

any suggestions?

Sorry Federico

been that busy lately hardly been able to write on the site at all. Doing my best.

Will look in on this one when I get a moment slightly longer than 2 minutes without the phone ringing.

In the meantime !! MEMBERS!! can we have a bit of enthusiasm for this super project from a friend so far away?

I'm probably your closest neighbour being just across the rio de la plata (Pocitos-MVD).

You are taking on a big project there federico_878 by the looks of it. Total restoration.
Can you find parts easily in Buenos Aires?

From 1100 to 1400 is a dramatic increase. Are you working on this yourself or have technical assistance?

Regards

Chris

Quite a project your taking on there! I love the old Fiats. Good luck with the project!

Oh and your English is fine, I would not worry to much.

Is true we are close.
With regard to motor much in the market. Parts for the body there are varied quality and poor quality.
Don't understand what the "technical assistance"?

I can relate to you about the poor quality of products here in South America. I try to buy smaller/critical parts from Europe if I can.

What I meant about "technical assistance" was that if you had help or are working on the car alone? Re-boring etc.

Regards,

Chris

Chris:

work alone in my car, sometimes I ask for help to colleagues / friends, if only I can not do.

Regards.

Great work...kep us all informed

Any updates Federico?

Been a while since we've heard anything new about your 128.
