Aww Thanks
“It WAS a turbocharged and fuel injected 843cc car that made 120hp at the wheels and weighed in at 1375 lbs.,” GRM forum regular Trent says of his 1971 Fiat 850 Berlina. “Mercilessly quick, but gearing limited to 89 or 90 mph.”
A few years ago, Trent was talked into blowing apart the car for a respray. He’s finally putting things right with a new driveline, a turbocharged Suzuki GTI engine backed by a Porsche 901 gearbox. He’s tying everything together with much fabrication–lots of welding, milling and conjuring up from scratch.

The hammer formed crossmember might be my favorite engineering on this website.
