Nice motor toz !. where did u get those fibreglass arches and sideskirts ?,i couldnt find any last year when i wanted a set. :shock: . I dont think you need to worry too much about people slating your 126,i think they'd be in the minority.

thanks for the comments,the kit is actually a zeemax bodykit off a mini,just been chopped and changed till it fits,i have actually seen a 126 arch kit somewhere online for 200 euros,will have a look for you,

i just cant wait to get her finished and come to the meets,might even let people take her for a drive :wink:

if i drove it i would have to get a " hairdresser disguise kit " beforehand.

Fantastic effort Toz, have you any more recent photos....? Do you work in a bodyshop or are you just good at filling, priming and prep, cos the finish looks great..!

All the best, Robbie.

toz has a big reputation for being a PRO

. if i could do stuff like that then i would nt take 6 hrs on a resto job eh toz! if you were closer to me i would let you work on my bangers any day.

ive just updated and put a few more pics of him on drop shots,yes robbie unfortunately i do work in the motor trade

ive had a hand from a fellow college to get him to this stage otherwise i would be probably dead by the time he was finished,sorry about the abused paint on top of the primer they thought it was funny to torcher him.

i wouldnt say i was a pro mick just been doing it for a long time m8,i would love to help you on your car if you lived closer,it really doesnt matter how long a re-spray takes just depends on what you want out of it.

mate when your finished i will drive up just to have a beer with you, and laugh at your car....

toz · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2007, 06:31:21 PM »

well theres not much point in haveing a 126 if you cant laugh at it is there,thought thats what they were designed for

bis13 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 07, 2007, 06:53:55 PM »

on that theory my car at the moment rates at about 40 laughs an hour which is pretty good in the useless stakes..
