Yup, that's a grail car for me. That type of actuator is not uncommon in Italian cars.1979 308

They use bicycle brake cables to actuate the door latch…. Needless to say…. It doesn’t work….

I figured you’d like it.Yup, that's a grail car for me. That type of actuator is not uncommon in Italian cars.
I’m not sure where he lives.If that car belongs to someone that lives near Markle...I know the owner. Or two 308s exist around here with a similar lower body treatment.
My dad owned an 1980 308GT4 - represented nearly everything a Ferrari shouldn't be. :-) Silver, back seat, slow, kinda ugly...car ended up smashed into a granite mountain in NY. Dad crawled out of the sun roof with the motor running and gas leaking. Didn't end well for that car.
It was a rough time in the auto world - even in Maranello. Wished he would have bought a Testarossa.I’m not sure where he lives.
That is one ugly piece right there. Looks more like a Fiat.
My gut feeling is that he was an ear. When he disappeared after his house burned some undercover constabulary were really interested in finding him. What happens now, I don't know, but I would like to see the business cease and the characters go somewhere else. When I'm seeing more drug deals than deer from one of my stands, something's wrong.It seems like a pretty blatant operation how have they not been subject to an early morning wake up call by a battering ram?
I agree, pretty ugly. Looks like some Lancia DNA mixed with some Fiat DNA with Ferrari badging.I’m not sure where he lives.

I hate cable operated…The boom on a KC135 is cable operated to the Power Control Unit and is a pain to rig. You must check the ambient air temperature every 30 minutes while rigging because cable tension changes with the air temperature. You then have to safety wire the turnbuckles.1979 308

Those bumpers don't help the appearance of the car at all.
Like boats. Cars are a hole in the air we throw money into. Seems never ending.Yup, that's a grail car for me. That type of actuator is not uncommon in Italian cars.
So, done for the day?Afternoon all... got my 8 hrs in already..
Looks like the headlight linkage on an Opel GT.1979 308

Yup. Old Italian wiring can be fun. The wiring diagrams were only a suggestion at the factory. At least it's not British.
