THey took some design cues from the 127, but it's an entirely own design- apart from fiat-license engine and gearbox. But theres dispute over the origin of the 4wd system- some say the internal mechanics are partly copied from LUAZ

It had some design cues from the 127 in a floorpan of the 124 modified to enable the fitment of the transfer case and other 4WD-related parts. Still basically an old Fiat rustbucket on steroids anyway  |

I've not been successful finding a job, so I applied to the local adult schooling. I've thought about taking a machinist course. For hell, who knows if I happen to get in. Always wanted to learn using a metal lathe.
And theres you take a side course additionally to the main course, like CNC, 3D, programming machines, etc...
we'll see.

switched to ethanol gas. 3/4 E85, 1/4 normal 98E5, So i got e75.
oh my, 7,2l/100km/ 31 Mpg. Not so bad, considering e85 is about 52% cheaper.

Man, it just makes me more angry when I figure out that a country with a colder climate not so suitable to sugarcane can still manage to get ethanol competitive to gasoline while here in Brazil it's been a failure.

e85 is made here from food production waste. (leftover from producing breads and gunk from the beer industry)
And the green left endorses it. They took the tax reduction away, and it is still about 46% cheaper than regular 95e10, and 56% cheaper than premium :/
should've nicked some barrels from my uncle and filled them with E85 when it was under tax reduction.
