So whats happening with the rear lights then?
-
Wow... lots of work done there Jo, Looks great are you going for fiat coupe rear lights ???
-
i've fitted some lucas 488's rear stop/tail and indicaters which i gather are just general replacement lamps for certain older cars. maybe were used as standard in various makes and models way back in the stoneage?...
don't have a photo at the mo but just little round beauties!
-
Cant't wait to see!
-
got a photo of rear lights today
(http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa12/silent_jo/126%20under%20construction/DSC00569.jpg)
and the front, audi side repeaters as replacement indicaters i like these! :D

Front end is marvelous! But rear is :- , lets say strange. Don't take this as insult, its my opinion. But [-/ for the effort!
-
this is true! i agree, once i'd removed the bumpers and trims it just seemed like the lights were sticking out a lot tho so i thought f**k it and took them out! then the was no going back! no more plastic screws for me at least tho ;D
-
i noticed ur exhaust isnt standard could you tell us what it is how is it what came with the car? nd love the indicators at the front nd love the colour of it
-
thanks! :) exhaust is standard, with the end cut off! then i cut the chrome pipe off a mk4 or 5 escort box welded it into a plate i made, and welded the plate onto my box! then painted it with black exhaust paint... it looks ropey close up but un-noticable normally! cut and shut!
-
well me nd my dad wa thinking of getting an motor bike exhuast nd use that nd just make the pipes into box well am 17 so i would like abit more than just the normal noise of the engine too nd am also thinkin of fittin a cold air feed kit or make my own but use the piper cross enclosed cone filter but not sure yet were guna get it on road first lol
-
Color is nice, how it's looks like in a daylight?
-
spangled! purple and blue! 8)
-
Any photos of the car in daylight Jose?
Love the fact you've done something different!
-
no daylight photos yet as all the paintwork is flatted down and not yet been polished. its blue metal flake over purple pearl over black! it's awesome! car should be done for summer :)
-
a little update, i now have white wheels! new tyres, and some electric heated seats out a porsche! :D havn't fitted the seats yet tho...

Got all my metal for my seat mountings now should be fitting them in tomorrow hopefully! :)
-
that paint is a bit sexy for a 126!!
-
Looking good, when do you estimate completion??
Steve
-
just got to fit seats and a numberplate light and windscreen wipers for the m.o.t. i think, but i must sell my mk2 escort before I get the fiat on the road :( still driving the 126 will soften the blow! ;D
-
what you talkin bout it will make you hard core!
-
Yeah you're right! what was i thinking!
50% success today, i managed to fit one seat into my 126, things are never as straightforward as they seem...
However it did eventually fit just as i'd planned!
