Title: New Owner from Manchester!
Post by: samdavies97 on October 06, 2018, 05:41:55 PM: Hi Guys,

My names Sam, 21 from Manchester. Just bought this 126 a week ago from an owner in London. 1984 model with 652cc engine. Only done 9k miles so itâ€™s in good nick!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181006/8aaf8e064e3001eeb92e221994a32a06.jpg)

Hi

Iâ€™m gonna replaced all the front end like shocks, steering rack, wishbones etc. Iâ€™m currently swapping out the drums for discs. And Iâ€™m going to do the back eventually. Replacing the exhaust. Getting new tyres all round. Sand Blasting the wheels and powder coating them. And much more.

Today Iâ€™ve just replaced spark plugs, battery, filters all round and gave it a good clean.

Iâ€™m tryna find some wheel spacers but Iâ€™m struggling to find ones which will fit my stock wheels.

What sort of wheel spacers are you after? I mean width wise.

Yea thatâ€™s the one, didnâ€™t even bother going having a look because I was that desperate for one! Big risk but it paid off because Iâ€™m happy now. I will do! Itâ€™s just gone in for a full service today. Im after 20mm spacers but Iâ€™m not good with sizes etc. Iâ€™ve ordered some universal 4x98 ones and hope they fit!
