Delta Male - Lacquer Peel's 90s diesel emporium


Lacquer Peel

I have been enjoying this a bit, especially since fixing the utterly knackered front wishbones and the tracking with help from @juularand his fishing line. 

The control arms are standard Fiat parts, one of them was £13 including postage!

It has a soft ride and roly poly handling but with a sharp turn in, it is fun to drive once you get used to it. It takes the "bumpy road" near me with the grace of a 90s Peugeot. 

The Fiat 1.9 turbo diesel seems to quite like its vegetarian diet but the turbo whistles like a siren.

It is a bog standard 90s diesel hatchback really but I like its odd styling, it is out of place in the UK where it wasn't sold new. 

Plans are to wire brush and rust treat crusty bits,  where it's been jacked in the wrong place and rusted, try to get the blower motor  working as it's annoying now it's getting wet and cold, and drive it/burn veg.
