Just wanted to say hello to forum members and start gathering wisdom on a Fiat 124 rebuild project I hope to take on (for wife).
I’ll search forum and read a lot before asking for advice that has likely already been given.
Basic idea is to completely renovate an old Fiat I recently acquired. Interior is gone, pan is soaked from years of weather exposure, rest of body is pretty good (little rust except pan that I’ve yet to thoroughly examine).
I’m thinking of starting by pulling engine and trans, and doing a rebuild of both (I Want to end up with a combo that won’t be trouble for many years). I May want slightly better than stock power (but not a monster engine), so will explore options.
Interested in what was problematic on the 77 Fiat (not sure if a California model or not).
Thanks all and look forward to reading a lot!
