Hi all,I will introduce myself....and my SAHARA BRAZIL
I'm Willem Mank,48,Dutch,living near The Hague in Leiden.
My car history....few of my daily drivers : Opel Manta,Peugeot 205 GTI,AR 155,Golf 4 GTI. I had a few AR 33's,and then a Fiat MK1 "76 came on my way.As a very simple amateur with less automotive skills I stripped it,mostly to learn about the cartechnics ! I would try build it up as a MOT/Trackday car.
But after a few years a Fiat 127 Brazil owner ask on the Dutch Fiat127forum for someone who wanted to adopt his car,someone who wanted to keep the car on the road ! It hasn't run for a year,no MOT,but I decided to go for it.And with minor affords it was on the road.On the dutch fiat127forum I have a topic ! Also the Brazil(last of the Fiat 127 '84-'86 imported from Brazil ,so not from Italië,to the Netherlands) has to become a MOT-ed daily/track day car !
It's named the SAHARA Bazil because the former owner photoshoped the car,pretending he was on a holiday in the Sahara.....so the car is/was known on the Fiat127 forum as......Sahara Brazil !
I'm member of a lot of forums , Fiat related to a hope to gain knowledge and learn from others! The older fiats are constructed with a lot of interchangeable parts, and which can then also be used to build up the Brazil.
I have also discovered this forum, and like to look all around especially in the project section!
Maybe I'll open here also still a topic
Ciao
