Title: Fiat 126bis
Post by: johnvine on July 27, 2017, 11:09:03 AM

I bought a 1989 126bis in November 2016 and have now nearly finished a bare shell rebuild. The car was "unmolested" but had been in a damp garage for 20 years. I have discovered a few parts are missing and would find it very useful to look at some other cars. There must be some owners near to where I live. (Kidderminster) If you are such an owner I would be very pleased to hear from you. Could you call me on 01562 747718? Thanks, John

Hi John - just saying hello.  I've got an aircooled, so I'm not sure how much that will help.  I'm moving to Telford in a couple of weeks, so I'll be somewhat local.

Hi Dan thanks for the reply. The water cooling  has caused me a lot of grief! The engine was seized because water got where it shouldn`t be and the head was cracked. Let me know when you have moved, who knows, it might be running by then.
