Nice Fiat 124. The older brother of a neighborhood friend of mine, back in the 70's, had a 124 coupe. We were still far from getting our driver's licenses, and only dreamed about driving that Fiat.
I nearly bought one in the early eighties,cheers from Sydney Australia.

Nice video, what's the torque spec on the valve covers on the FIAT ?
Couldn’t tell you. I do it by feel.
IS THAT A SAAB SONNET UNDER THAT CAR COVER?
No, it is an Otas built by Francis Lombardi. There are videos on my channel about it.
An early one
Fiat is Italian for 'clown car'. 🤡
