Hi all! I'm Ionuț (I believe my name would be Johnny in English) and I'm from Bucharest, Romania. I bought during summer a not running 1.4 AUB Lupo, thought it had broken timing belt but there was much more, the exhaust camshaft being seized. It suposed to be a winter car, I usually ride a motorcycle and my wife drives our family car. Winter is here and I'm still working on the little Lupo, I fully rebuild the engine and these days trying to finish putting all back together.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

@lupo_ro, it's not a swap, I rebuilt the engine with new parts: bearings, piston rings, valves and seats done, oil pump, seals, gaskets, crankcase breather, timing belts a.s.o. After some issues with the clutch disc on the first try to install the engine I took all out again and installed again using a new disc (Topran, it was KM in the box). Finally started the engine yesterday evening, seems to sound well. It was a short run, no coolant and radiator hoses missing, no exhaust only header with first kat so it made a bit of noise. Have to clean the inner axle joints, change an outer boot and install gear shift linkage today and maybe take it to a drive.
