mo999 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Well done on the rebuild, it's funny to see that oil filter on a BIG fiat engine - looks just the same as the one on my 500! IMAG1166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 heh, yes, lots of parts binning in these era of fiats, lucky becasue i have bought a lot of bits very much cheaper that suit these smaller models as well as the 2300 ('baby ferrarri' label on the 2300S Coupe attracts a tax on parts, that doesnt apply to 126 or FSO 125p's ) They were fans of not fixing things that were not broke either, see the starter pic in my last post, almost bolt in between a design first used in the mid 50's rwd push rod (fiat 1300) to the late 90's front wheel drive twin cam with electronic ignition and fuel injection (lancia delta GTI) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 How is that cam gear? such a bargain price! Currently rebuilding the Niva, you don't happen to have a spare headbolt do ya? one of mine had an unfortunate accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Heh cheap allright! I do have some spare head bolts! Need anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Doin rings and bearings on the Niva, if you have anything along those lines, but plan on ordering all that from Euro-Italian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I've been looking back through your rust repairs - quite a lot of similarity to the Farina BMC cars in the structural design of these wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Matching rust holes? Both are very styley cars imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Oh yes. They are practically the same design as a Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina you know. http://www.australiaforeveryone.com.au/afe/motoring-peugeot-404.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Good one on getting the windscreen sorted. Better watch out for flying rocks now. I guess you are Nats-ing with this? I should have the Oxford wagon there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.QCR Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Stoked you got the screen sorted ! Still one of my favourite wagons of OS and glad you can actually start enjoying it ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Fingers crossed for Nat-sing! Pretty sure all it needs for WoF is to get the windowwashers going, but the foot operated water pump thing is bung (still makes the wipers wipe 3x tho ). I have a Uno colostomy bag with an electric pump built in and a momentarty switch ill put on/in the same place Other things are - I don't have any door lock keys - radiator is a bit leaky - I have driven in total about 3km, this is also the total distance it has been driven in the last 25 years - its a 50 yo Italian car, with (for the time) fancy electrical doo dads, that im not 100% sure on ! - I have personally undid and done up almost every bolt (this is the worst worry TBH) what could go wrong 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a fail item - if they are fitted they need to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
