1978 Fiat 128 review from Cyprus
"Good, cheap, fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It overheated once due to a split in the radiator, although it was 43 degrees Celsius that day.
Alternator failed due to old age, to be expected on a car this old.
General comments?
I use the car daily for work, going off road, even on the beach sometimes. I tow small boats and jet skis and mostly I drive it very hard. the car is an excellent tool for work and fun to drive. its great!
