an italian car part 1 : finding a hatch

ever wonder knapa g milih italian car?
padahal pertama gada ketertarikan khusus ama ni ucing.
actually, sebelumnya yg g cari adalah V*kodok lho. hanya saja ga dapet yg oke tapi murah (he3x...pengennya murah mulu, inget dong ada harga ada barang :P ) dengan sedikit merasa sedih, i went back to my list and started to reconsider some items.

zebra/carry..weks,no
taft...hmm,macho but not my type
startlet..hmm punya pengalaman buruk ama toyota, nteu akh
charade...hmm boleh juga, palagi kalo dapet yg turbo. dispite the wreckless of its assembly
uno...hmm udah termasuk langka nih, tapi gapalah

maka dimulai ulang perburuan boil dgn kategori imut2 dan irit, then some on mylist as far as i can remember : charade '86 turbo, charade '85 cx, uno 2 '91 dan uno 1 '89. cukup deh, lets went out and found some!

gejlig, korban pertama adalah charade turbo. i found it in an oil shop disamping pencucian boil. at d first look, hmmm ugly enough and i didnt wanna spent some money to refurbing that thing. i guess i was right. turbo udah ga jalan n beberapa item kliatannya ilang. cukup, berikutnya adalah charade cx di lapang persib. oke, it looked good, but too standard and almost felt d same. it will cost juz a little bit bucks but i didnt want to.
nextttt.....
may brother in law called and we agreed to finish jap's car, try another different look. an uno from fiat. an italian car, i was wondering coz dont have any knowledge about. lalu kita pergi ke baros, cimohay. met the owner and throw some little talk to wait d car cos it was used by his son to grocery.
hmmm,good. they still used it. so, it still run he3x..*grin*
then i see it. at the first sight, i know this was wheels i was looking for. ho..ho..ho siucing kliatan lincah n kumincir. then i go stepped into cabin and altough the interior looked dirty enough, i know i could do some clean and wash. panels were all complete and sat in its place.
next was engine and compartement. hmmm, a little smokey from exhaust. almost all original but filthy. rusts are coming out in some places.
hell, i didnt care for more. lets brought this home and make some refinery.shortly, siucing berpindah tangan. surprisingly, first owner adalah tetangga dulu semasa kecil. pertanda baik, im whispering in silence.
