Hi
« on: November 09, 2013, 08:05:21 PM »
Hi folks,

I've just bought a 126 BIS, which when completed will be my daily to replace my 88 300zx Turbo.



I love quirky rear engined cars as I grew up with IMPS and beetles :) I'm looking forward to getting the 126 on the road and enjoying her.

 Welcome to the forum. The car is already looking better without them stripes.
 Was this recently on eBay?
 It should be a bit different driving experience compared to your ZX :)

It's been sitting sinse 2009 so it need a fir bit of work, I like a challenge :)

I quite like the bumperless look, I've also taken out the plastic shelf from the interior passenger side, it just looks to modern and takes up too much room inside IMO.

Thanks, It's not as bad as I was expecting, just a bit of scabbing on the arches. :)
