We decided to change the interior to match some nice door panels we got from a friend, they were however cut for speakers, too bad.<br />

With this 1.5l conversion I used an X19 engine out of a 79, since 128's and X engines tilt at different angles I swapped the oil pan and pickup from the old 1.3l 128 engine which I mated to a 32/32 weber DMTR. This engine came with a one wire Marelli alternator so the wiring got a little upgrade as well. I want the under hood business to remain stock in appearance.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610710135830331542.post-10972100856241884802012-11-30T19:51:00.003-08:002012-11-30T19:51:36.082-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a Dave Voss car that has been in the bay area with other Fiat loving owners probably since new it still has it's original California blue plates. Since I got the car I've installed a bigger 1.5l engine and struts from an X19, installed all new brake hydraulic and front pads, re sealed the engine, it has the 74 only 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and Yugo electronic dizzy. Also gone are the steel ingot front and rear bumpers, I have some series 1 chrome bumpers on the way. You can also see those pretty little Cromodora CD58 wheels I got back from a guy I sold them to with some fresh rattle can iron paint. I have some other photos I'll post soon. Oh pretty cool Fiat spider 2000 shaved side markers!<div>
