Hy, youre goin to need to do a lot work so good luck.
Those front seats are definetly not original :wink:
The question is what look are you going for, racer style or restoring it to look like new?
Try to get some original zastava badges, itll be interesting to hear people asking Its a what?? ower there. :D
Im planing a visit to the local junkyard in the near future so ill see if there are some badges and ill try to post them to you?
-
Thanks! im bidding on a 750 badge on ebay.. have a look for some rear seats ill pay you for them...
The front seats are not the origonal but im going to keep them and cover them. i want to make it look more classic, but im not 100% sure yet
Cheers!
-
The badges shouldnt be a problem, im sure some rear seats could be found, just dont think they would fit in an envelope?? :wink: plus I dont have a credit card...
Try altering some 126 ones, im sure they fit... :?:
-
i could just leave it as a two seater sports model! lol what does the LE stand for on the Zastava 750 LE ???
-
Dont know really, basically, they changed litlle things and called it a new name to cheat the government. there was a law that prohibited growing of prices due to inflation, so they changed the name to LE, LX or whatever, and marketed it as a new more expensive car...
ill ask my dad about the LE model and let you know later.
-
cheers, do you know where i can get the rear card pannels? as there far too expencive on ebay!
Found the rear panel on ebay as mines been kicked to death
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zastava_05_1.jpg)
-
http://fiatclassic.com/
They have most of the things you might need. theyre a bit too expensive fot me but... (the zastava 750/850 is actually a bit more advanced fiat 600, which you probably know, so most of the parts are the same.)
They have the rear pannel but it costs 200€
The LE model was the economic line, which had a lower level of trim (leathercloth seats) and a weaker engine that used less fuel, opposite the SC model which had higher compression engine and a more confortable interrior.
-
Cheer mate, ill check out that website too...
-
Bumper got painted and put back on 2day, started to paint the wheels black.
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zastava_06_1.jpg)
Now over to the back (when the panel arrives!)

-
Looking better and better...
Are you thinking about a new paint job? Im thinking two collors -top pearl beige bottom pearl dark cherry or however you call it, with some white wall tyres and a few chrome parts... just a couple of ideas if u want to go classic.... :wink:
-
sounds sweet, i think ill get the body work and the inside sorted before i think about a new paint job. and im afraid to say the orange is growing on me. LOL...
Chrome parts are a must, looking for some chrome hubcaps, but cant find any?
Paul
-
there are hubcaps on that fiatclassic.com but four of them cost 420€!!!!! :shock:
I almost :smt078 when i saw the price....
Those are very rare, even here. most people lost them....
-
OMG! ive just looked at them, thats a stupid price, theres some for about 60 euros on ebay for a fiat 600. will they fit?
Thanks pedro for the site, some nice pics..
Why is it just me and cro talking on this post??? weird???
-
Yes weird... So Ill be leaving then? :oops:
I think they fit, but there isnt a zastava logo on them.... :roll:
Im just bored, waiting for the weather to clear, so I can put my BIS back together... So Im spending a bit too much time on the net...
-
yeah me too, the weather has been awfull in the uk the past two days! cant wait untill my rear valance comes through the post! then i can put on my rear bumper
-
Just wondering: how in the world do you send a object so big through the post? does it fit in a large package or what? This has been bugging me for some time... :smt017

(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zavvy3_1.jpg)

-
Ha Ha, dont worrie ill have it all sorted by tomorrow, but cant decide what carpet to choose, Red or Black????
-

-
DONE A BIT MORE WORK INSIDE MY BABY! ZAVVY!
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zav1_1.jpg)
My friend made me up a Zastava Plate!
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zav2_1.jpg)
Tidied the parcel shelf and installed (temp) two shelf mount speakers
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zav3_1.jpg)
Took off the fibre glass dash to reval a orange steel one (bingo!) cut a hole out with a jigsaw and popped in a buget stereo! woo hoo
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zav4_1.jpg)
Made a start on protecting the floors with underselant! nearly ready for carpets and door cards to go on!
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zav5_1.jpg)
Ok cant wait untill the insides finished so we can work on the outside, need a set of bucket seats... then alloys!!!
-
Ive been away a few days.
Nice to see all the work going on, youre really into this, wery nice.
Thats a real strip-tease :cool:
One thing I wouldnt do is drill the dash (I got this thing about preserving the original state of the car :wink: ) could have just hung it under it, thats how they used to do it, but anything that makes you happy.... :lol:
Is it me or is this the biggest resto project on the forum currently, and its not even a 126 :smt017 :mrgreen:
-
there was allready loads of holes drilled on that area, so i cut out a section of the damaged bit, i dont think ill be putting the shelf back because its bloody horrible!
I think this is the biggest project currently!
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_zav6_1.jpg)
BETTER PICTURE OF THE DASH, dont worry i will tidy the wires tomorrow and finish the floor...
-
alrighty then....
U should try to find the glove compartment older aircooled 126es had, it can house a speaker and it would shurely look nice... just an idea
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/559_gogo_1.jpg)
-
Wow now thats a hi-tec stereo system on that fiat 126 pic...!
Mite look into that Gordan!!!
This is the crap i took out of the zastava... its awful
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_tray_1.jpg)
Carpet chosen and ordered!!!
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_carpets_1.jpg)
-
Today i didnt have much time as i work splits, so i just go round to painting my handbrake, choke and gear stick... they were all rusty before
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_painting01_1.jpg)
all will be revealed tomorrow with gaiters and new gear knob in an all new episode of ''zastava restoration'' LOL
-
That is the latest in Hi-Fi audio surrounds, with 3d sound and :wink: blah, blah, blah... :wink:
Its from an original fiat brochure....
That zavvy is sure geting oranger and oranger by the minute.... :D
Just one question, how much are you planing to invest in this pinnacle of engeneering :lol: , cos you sure look like your on a shopping spree... :cool: , not that im complaining...
-
What ever it takes Gordan! about a thousand should do it as i get the bodywork done for free at collage... and i want it to look great! now im just sat waiting for my bits to arrive
-
Nice...
Cant wait to see the end product....
-
Just looking at sutable subframes and bucket seats to fit... they need to be bolted to the floor as the last owners left it with no Runners??? :x
-
Like I said before, most parts of the 126 shouuld fit into the 750, so should the runners.... They even had the same seats, so u can look one up on a locar scrapheap, if your junkyards keep such cars, and if u really want to.........
-
no, scrapheaps around here dont stock those sorts of car. My local one just has new cars less than 5 years old... ill look into the runners tho, they would help
-
Aren't 126 runners welded in? (mine are part of the floor...) :???:
-
Yes i suppose they are... nothing an angle grinder could not handle i suppose. for nowi think ill bolt a subframe to the floor...
Today i finished the floor, painted the door insides to protect them, finished off the painting i did yesterday and fitted my new wooden gearknob (got a wheel to match).
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_sat01_1.jpg)
Then i got tempted in to fitting the rear unit id started to build out of carpet and MDF... No luck as the sun has gone down and im off to work... bye
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_sat02_1.jpg)
:roll:
-
The rails are bolted to the floor, (at least mine are????)
Here's a pic from the manual, clearly showing it can be removed by remowing the bolts.. :wink:
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/559_ag_1.jpg)
So you put back the red shelf... why didnt you re paint it?
-
yeah... why listen to a woman lol, just kidding.. :lol:
I intend to re-paint it when i get some more paint from the shop...
-
hay gordan, just looked up Rijeka on google. looks like a nice place! mite pop over when im on holiday... lol :P
-
its not bad, it has a few +es and -es for my car, there is hardly any snow here so my baby is salt free, but its a mediterranean town so there are many steep climbs, which i fear will be the death of my engine :???: .
Rijeka is sadly not a top tourist destination so you shuld visit places like Dubrovnik or Opatija, which is nearby..
If u decide to pop on downhere let me know, ill give you a tour of the place, just make sure you bring your bis. :wink:
P.s. Im thinking about organising a local 126 club, as there are many still roaming around, so I was wondering how you guys started, I was thinking firest of a nice web site....
-
I think it was all started by chris lankin, and the site was made by chris r lewis.. so i would ask them, start your local 126 club on facebook, as its free and easy to use
-
will definetly give it a try, just need to get my collage situation sorted, dont have much time now....
There is a 750 fan club here :D
-
found a zastava 750 group on facebook!
-
ROFL
-
Hay Paul, anything new happening on the beast, did you get the valance, door cards, did you fit the carpets...? :wink:
-
Nothing has arrived yet.. still waiting as i have parts coming over from Italy and Germany.. was thinking about popping in a Fiat FIRE engine, maybe a 1.2L ??? just an idea, dont know how easy it would be to do?
-
Well over here thers a green racing 750 with Kawasaki ZX-9R engine, im not saying its easy, but its doable. (and once youre done you get a reall beast :twisted: )
P.s. we call those cars FICO (little fiat) and sice this one has a Kawasaki motor, its called Ficosaki :lol: and yeah,m it eats porsches for breakfast.... :twisted:
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/559_fico_1.jpg)
-
I was thinking more along the lines of a Fire 903cc out of a cinq and then tuning it up... just so the zastava keeps up with modern traffic
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_engine_1.jpg)
Dont want a big Hp boost but a moderate one, as the zastava has just 30hp was looking to get 55 - 60hp
-
The latest zastavas vere the 850, which had a 850cc engine and packed quite a punch, i see this as the easiest upgrade avaliable, but sadly i doubt you could get one in the uk... :roll:
-
yes i doubt it as not many were made compared to the 750... i would like an easy job, and would love a 1000cc! ive been informed to get an 899 from a cinq,uno or punto as it shud go right in.
-
That would be nice now wouldnt it... well good luck...
BTW, can you get the zastava registered in the uk, i remember something about it being from lihuania or something on the ebay ad... :?:
-
yeah should be easy, just need insurance and an MOT, then take it to the DVLA office, hand over a wad of cash for plates and TAX and your away!!!!
-
yeah, that is easy, over here we got some regulations how old the car can be, co2 emissions blah blah blah....
(check out my avatar, its so cool... :cool: :wink: :D )
-
very nice! PAGE 5!!!! does this mean we get a prize??? :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
keep it up.... :D :smt043 :smt006
-
where do i start when removing an engine?
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_eng1_2.jpg)
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_eng2_2.jpg)
-
Beats me, never seen it done on a zastava, but try doing what i did with my bis, take all the wires and pipes off, mark them so you know where they go back, put something under it (i used a standard VW jack to lift it a little) then unscrew that main screw on the wallance and then the screws on the gearbox (clutch), it should be the same principle, but im not sure....
:wink:
-
Ok, fixed the ignition problem today, sorted the wiring and replaced the spark plugs! now shes purring like a kitten,
Also found some 126 Bis seats on ebay, so will have a bid as they come with the runners for the floor!!
-
:smt041 :smt041
I just got a new driven plate for my bis.... nice :wink:
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/559_NEW_2.jpg)
-

-
Did you ever manage to find any zastava badges gordan?
-
Sorry mate, still havent gone scrap-hunting, spent most of my last salary on my messed up clutch, so didnt have the money for some parts i wanted to buy, but dont worry, I havent forgotten my promise.... :wink:
-
no rush mate!!!
-
Hay paul, got some questions, -do those seats fit in the zastava, they look a little big -is the zastava any bigger than the BIS, cos i had a grat argument with my bud the other day which has more room inside/which was more useful.... (nothing could beat my hatchback argument :D )
Hows the work goin, no new pics :?: :sad:
:D
-
id say the bis has a much better use of room... and more luggage space, but the inside is about the same, so i hope the seats fit.. no new pics yet
-
Allrigthy then :cool:
-
door cards still not here, so im going to get a refund and build my own, will post picks as and when
-
:cry: :cry:
Im planning to make two myself, for my bis, but have no idea whatsoever how to remove those winders for the windows..... :???:
-
im not sure either? im going to make a cardboard template first, then use 3mm MDF and cover with black vinal..
-
:cry: :cry:
Im planning to make two myself, for my bis, but have no idea whatsoever how to remove those winders for the windows..... :???:
turn the lever til the winder handle is pointing up, pull the handle away from the door and look down the back youll see a small metal clip which goes 3/4 of the way around the "shaft" push one end of the clip with a screw driver and it will ping off (at which point you most likely lose it..)
just stuck the clip back on the winder then push it on firmly to re-attach...
-
oh so it is the same as the zastava!!! i was gunna suggest it, but was not sure they were the same as ive never removed my winders on my bis. cheers stu, any luck with the paint, any pics?
Paul
-
(at which point you most likely lose it..)
:D :D
Cheers stu, i red the manual, but their explaination is use the special tool.... :smt102
-

Paul
finished flatting the primer today, i have a few problem areas I need to stop up then its ready for paint... pics look no different at the moment as is still primed despite the days and days of flatting ive done... updates in the next few weeks... (I hope)
-
Just tried it out but failed, couldnt pull the handle off, and im afraid of breaking something, cos that would be a bi*ch...
Ill try again tommorow with a screwdriver....
-
its because you dont have that special tool! :lol:
-
these are quite good used them in my car restoration days- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LASER-TRIM-REMOVAL-TOOL-10-IN-1-2373_W0QQitemZ370020768968QQihZ024QQcategoryZ30928QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem

(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/559_untitled_5.jpg)
-
Watch it, you could poke someones eye out with taht thing :D :D :lol:
-
try wrapping a thin rag under the wider and pull it side to side the rag should catch on the clip and pull it out. If this doesn't work use a couple of small screwdrivers. hopes this helps
-
IM SORRY!!! but im going to have to sell my zastava!!! money ran dry and i failed my driving test! so im having to sell to fund my driving...
Oh well at least ive got my 126, which is why im here!! RIGHT!!!
:cry:
-

-

-

well, good luck sellin it....
-
over here its really hard! one mistake and your out...
cheers buddy, at least we have the same car to chat about..
well we allways did...
-
Ive seen the Zastava on Ebay. Its a nice little car... sure beats the 126's that are on ebay at the minute.
theres a chav mobile (that you have to pick up from croatia), a white one with flowers and beetles on, and a Bright pink abomination.
Anyway.... back to the point :P
Nice car..
-
dont be down paul, its not the end of the world, im sure youll find another zastava in a decade or so.... :wink:
by the way, what does chav mean??
i know good english, but i dont think i ever heard this word... cheers :)
-
a chav is a scrufy dosser, who listens to god awfull music and is normaly a boy racer!
there are also ladie chavs, read max power and wears burbury clothes...
(http://club126uk.co.uk/forum/userpix/443_chav_1.jpg)
