It had been more than two decades since I got my hands on the 131S. It lacked care and maintenance from its previous owner. Honestly it was not my best of choice to get one. I was aiming for a simple Japanese family car to get me from point A to B.
The body rusted under the doors where the rubbers seals used to be, worn out tyres, slightly smoking motor and few faulty electric equipments and meters. The first thing I did was to give it a set of new rubbers. The mechanics was actually cursing at the choice I had made in getting a Fiat. It was then I got to know the meaning of Fiat - Fiat Is Always Trouble. The lower arms were faulty and camber were out. His long list included among others the ball heads, tie rods, absorbers ... .
Have I gotten myself a lemon? Then and only then I got to know of three people who change my perception on "The Poor Man's Alfa" - Ah Ngow, Usop and his trusted right hand man Sain.
