Just joined, my son Fraser and I are in the process of, in his words, modifying the 126. I have a fiat 500 and a 500 Gamine. The gamine has an uprated engine panda head, large carb, 123 ignition also panda disc brakes alfa 13" alloys from a sud sport, rack and pinion from a 126 and the floorpan from a 126 with all the additional chasis box secton weded in. Anyway Farser wants to shave the doors have suicide doors, fit a steel electric sunroof, fit electric windows, removing the 1/4 lights oh he also want to lower it by 50mm. The project will take about 18 months to complete including the repaint in candy orange. It looks like its going to be a long 18 months. I will keep updating the progress as and when

Hi there! I think I was having a look over your 2 motors at St Andrews, if so the tiny gearstick in the Gamine had me quite confused :D
I had the black aircooled (as you can see in my sig), and am planning an 1108 conversion using the engine from my Seicento. Keep us updated with how Fraser's project goes, it must be something to do with the name!
Regards,
Frazer [-/

I love your Gamine - I have the exact same wheels on my 500. Here is a little article about them (well the 14" version)

Bet you must get pretty pissed with people shouting "Noddy Car" at you - i have it bad enough in my yellow 500, but a Gamine must be a trillion times worse!
Looking forward to seeing the progress on the 126 mods.
