Title: My 126
Post by: super126 on November 13, 2011, 06:02:45 PM: Hi all Super126 here :)

I learned how to drive in a Fiat 500F, that I sold a year ago. It needed a lot of work and I was never going to do it. I missed the noise of the air cooled engine, and wanted a small Fiat so the 126 was the way to go, I like Fiatâ€™s from the 1970â€™s :)

This is my 1986 126 Brown, it was painted black a good few years back. The original colour was dark red maroon. There is just less than 10,000 miles, I was looking for a 126 and found this one not to far from where I live. Itâ€™s very rust free thanks to the repaint, there is a little bit of rust on the front panel. The bonnet is bad :cry: so will have to get one for it.

The plan is to put the chrome bumpers on, alloy wheels, and do a full re trim on the interior. The interior will have red leather seats, red carpets with a black roof lining.

I will let you know when I get the alloys, the wheels do have some small bits of rust on them.

I will be getting the chrome bumpers soon :) The plastic ones are in very good cond, but there could do with a rub down and repaint to make mint. The side trim will be coming off too. I want to give it the 70s look :)
