Now it's quite good body & cab wise. It works smoothly enough considering my mechanic found hydraulic, axle & engine oils were v low. And black. It wasn't minded as well as it looked cosmeticly. Pedal are worn so either around the clock or was a yard tractor. There is a leak from a fuel seal somewhere (I think) and a bit from front axle.
I like the FIAT - v manoverable, good visibility & nice looking little yoke. It would do what I need. Is there anyone straight in Leinster (east Connaught even) would do a mechanical refurb & light cosmetic work? My mechanic is good but up to his eyes and not his thing.
