Yesterday after 2 month of work I heard the firsrt roar from my engine. It was completly rebuiled amd modifed from 1.7 to 1.7 16V. I also did some work on heads, vents, shafts,...I had some difficultiys with wiring sice previus version did not have coil.
I managed to get one on my neiubers wery upset since I did it aoroung 9pm. I dont have my exust sistem on yet and I am sure you can imagine how loud sound was. I will post some picutres on as soon as possibile. I feel wery happy with I had done since I am not avtomechanic and It is my first engine rebuiled.....So happy that another 33 is back on the roads

Hi,

Really nice and professional work!!! I bet that when someone does a job that the client is actually it own self, the work is done perfectly.

Also your dog may have got in the spirit of cuore sportivo Wink
