My first car was a 1962 FIAT 1100 4 door sedan with suicide doors, four on the tree and no engine compression. Picked the car up from a local mechanic for $25 in 1968 so that I could fix it up and learn something about cars and learn how to drive a standard. Well, I learned you shouldn't rebuild an engine without cleaning out the oil galleries and that a spray gun with a leak in the syphon tube lays down a nice sharkskin finish. Needed money for college so I sold the car for $200 to someone that was going to commute 50 miles a day. Engine blew 2 weeks later (see oil galleries).
