That sucks. Did he hit the tree in the one pic? Looking at the aftermarket steering wheel, I think I'll keep mine stock.

He did one hell of a nice job on the build, must have been a beast.

Wow, I am sorry to see that, that is a rare car just to begin with. Hopefully it can be fit with another Fiat 131, doesn't have to be an Abarth model, except for the flares. Fix it! The car is famous and worth fixing.

Very sweet ride, and at the same time very sad. Only part of the car I didnt like was the shifter ****.
