Post by: devoncol on August 12, 2010, 05:26:04 PM

Hi all,my name is Colin and i live in newton abbot Devon.I drive a 1983 126 brown.some of you may remember me as a stroppy git who was on here in january trying to sell my dads car for loads of money £1750 he was very ill and was putting pressure on me to sell even though i knew the car was not worth that much.dad died in february and i inherited the fiat.Ive been using the car loads until recently as Ive striped the threads in the front hubs so now its garaged (going on hols soon so no cash to repair until i get back).Ive done a few jobs already,changed gearbox,lowered suspension 15mm at back 10mm at front, Ive also fitted clear side repeaters and a set off cinq alloys,Ive also got a few plans for the future! i would like apologize to any one i upset last time and hope to use this site more often(been using as a guest for last six months) looking forward to picking up more tips and hints on 126 ownership  many thanks Colin                                                                    (http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/munch_031/PICT0760.jpg)(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/munch_031/PICT0762.jpg)

Thanks for the welcome back comments,my father and i both ran classics,him the fiat and i ran a 1988 VW scirocco but having worked on the fiat i already had a soft spot for it so the VW was sold and fiat kept.My six year old daughter named it little blue as our family car was big and blue which makes perfect sense so the name has stuck.Little blue was rust treated when new but whilst its in dry dock I've striped inspected the bushes cleaned and painted before waxoiling and resembling glad i did as i found a leaking wheel cylinder and a couple of rusty brake pipes not mot fail but I'm fussy about brakes so two new pipes it is!!!have included a couple of photos of progress so far.                                                  (http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/munch_031/PICT0771.jpg)(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/munch_031/PICT0772.jpg)(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/munch_031/PICT0770.jpg)(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff183/munch_031/PICT0773.jpg)thanks for looking   colin
