Looking good, Would benift from lowering and wider/smaller diameter wheels. I allways feel the 13" wheels spoil them a bit but maybe its just the BIS hubcaps that make them look big. Leave the exterior fairly standard for the sleeper look

a good basis for a nice little motor

go on chris lower it and add some deep dish / wider wheels!

it would really set the car off... leave the rest totally standard but add the finishing touches that fiat forgot too...

Thanks Maxlee, a few irritating bits, otherwise lovely. My drivers door has warped, the hinge which is built into the door is wobbly so im going to get it welded up.

Thanks Jonathan, the engine bay took hours to clean i can assure you, i reccomend this engine cleaner from halfords its brill!

my car has only done just over 14,000 miles, it was my mums, when the head gasket went, my mum stored it in our garage for about 7 years. I then decided to get it back on the road! Thats how i got into 126's
