Zeker niet slecht voor een bakker Willem, het blokje is bijna zover dat het erin mag!
Kan niet wachten op de volgende update.
Really not bad for a baker Willem, the engine is almost that far you can build it in!
I can't wait for the next update.

Well,to make a long story short : the Brazilian Bella runs !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to do the headgasket 2 times.......the first time I thought,well due to the horrible dismanteling of the head,it was very hard to get it off,I used a lot of grease...............TO MUCH,so space between the head and engineblock.....and again leaking was the diagnose......well the second time was a quicky........ Check...
It runs like new.......the 2 years i drove it,wasn't that good :-)
The car is far off ready,keep working on it.
Ciao
Next time more photo's...

Well....the Holy Grail....a Fiat 127 Sport 1300 engine the 75HP one....I bought it today and took it home,feeling very happy. It's going to build in the Brasil02...witch has to become a light trackday car with MOT.....ending up with a nice weight/power ratio Special to this engine is the yellow distributorcap ,Weber DMTR carb,bigger valves,double crankcase breather,and I think some more little things

Well...long time ago... oww YES still reading your new posts..and here I am again..did a few things..upgrade the Brazilian Since the stand still becaus of the taxrules, there was a leakage,and I took out the most of the front "driving"parts, and also I wanted to mount the bigger carb fromthe Sport(the DMTR) and the exhaust that I found under the Sport, a 4-2-1 manifold and the GrA exhaust. A Fiat friend ofmy(with a race F/I/A/T 128 3p) helped with the front suspension,we cut the rod and so the Y10 lowering-springs don't fall out anymore while jacking the car :shock: and did some new "raceOIL" in the shocks I had become some bigger breaks from my F/I/A/T/friends... Uno Turbo, bought Palio Weekend discs, and AR 155 blocks..made my own brakelines... also got hold on wheelstuds After that all comes togehter... see the pics,they do the talking..writing the story is hard in Engish for me So the Brazil was amost ready for a trackday...first I had to mount the new seats.. At Emmen, a tiny track, www.testtrackthedinga.nl/het-circuit/ , together with the Registro Abarth Olanda, www.registro-abarth-olanda.nl/index2.htmlAnd first time driving on slicks ... my F/I/A/T/ friends helped me out..GREAT At home... I also bought....2 HOT camshafts..specs ..we have to sort that out..but one of them is a "dr Schrick".. :roll: back in the days a well known tuner.. Owwwwwwww and last but not least..because of a posting on the T124 forum..we bought a few parts...CHEAP..fromthe ladapower bay of E :rabbit: Well....did enough....but the story will continue..the DHLA's are waiting...and a cilinderhead for porting... Ciao !!

Well I must say, for a baker you're pretty good with modifying cars haha! Nice to see that it all comes together, it was already a cool car, but it's becoming cooler and cooler with all these updates!
