sorry for all the topics  :lol:  gess it keeps things moving
any way

been looking on ebay tonight
there are a fue fiat126's on there most of them have no mot or tax tho

im thinking of starting up a side line of restoring fiat 126's i have a friend with a trailer so picking them up aint a problem just got to sort him out the $$$ and i find them very easy to work on and have lernt loads on here and taken my engine apart  :D I will have the space when i sell my car  and maybe even my jeep. soon as the fiat 126 is on the road i will have a place under cover to work on one

do you think its a good idear would be nice to save them and every one i put back on the road and sell should give the club onther member  :D

Great idea maxlee!
The 126 is going to be very collectable in a few years time, especially the chrome bumper original models.
I don't think there is much profit to be made if you add all the hours for a restoration work etc.
I would only go for the ones that need little work.
Why not start your own mobile repair 126 service?

I think it is a fantastic idea!! go for it, Paul is right, you will always find a buyer for a nice aircooled in mint condition.

Theres no rush, take your time, and when you get the space + cash etc or whatever you need you can consider doing it. For now im sur eyou have alot to be getting on with, with your own 126.

Im sure they will be around for somtime yet.  :lol: We'll make sure of it!

it need to stop raining so i can get on off to fiat 2moz to see how much bigend shells are  :roll:

and a botem engine gasget set  

my aim is to work up to a air cooled one as there easyer to tune tho my friend has been looking at the bis engine and is going to ask some places if they can make up some things  :D  

spoke to my mate with the trailer he is cool with it and the van that tows the trailer is fitted with gps makes finding people easyer

got most of the tools aint found any thing i need that i haven got it seams to be all 13mm,17mm,and 10mm  :lol:
