Hi

IÂ´m Meelis and from Estonia - that is the first note - my language isÂ´nt english

But story is next:

once there was friend with another friend and idea "lets bring car for another friend as a birthday gift"
(no one there wasnt me - yet)
once when friend were in Poland they had one more idea - lets buy one car more - then they had someone else in mind - yes it was me in their mind.
first there was SMS with pic. in that time i didnt know that there was my car

next time car was in here (the lighter colored car was birthday gift)
my car is Polski Fiat from 1997 and 650 AC engine

although from outside the car is almost OK
but under the car there is horror - whole floor is only rust and not only floor

first boughten thing was Haynes Owners workshop manual
next faund rims not 4x98 but 4x100 and not 12" but 13" they need work but its not problem

first real part for car i receive was both side sillÂ´s inside and outside

from ricambi there is order for full floor panel and mounting plate for front spring
and from 126fan.sk there is order waiting for many parts ander the car - front and rear axle parts, steering parts and ...

lets see how its going next
there is work to do, parts for order and waiting.

edit: made pics smaller
for bigger pics look in my album http://pilt.delfi.ee/album/226675/

today we replaced one sill

new sillÂ´s from Poland dont fit 100% - need to cut/bend/hammer and then they will
