HELLO!
I have been looking for a fiat 126 for a very long time now for a reasonable price, and I found one about 10 minutes from my house.
I need some assistance on finding parts etc as I am either going to restore to original condition and then sell to hopefully make a profit OR customize it with my own touch and keep it!
Does anyone know where i can get a nice set of wheels? I would like a set of retro wheels but am struggling to find a nice set with the right dimensions.
Any advice/help you could give me during my restoration would be great!
Justin :D

Welcome and good choice of car. Wheels off a Cinq, sienciento, Fiat X19...... will all fit.
Check out the rest of the car first though. Does it have MOT, is it aircooled or Bis?

Hello!
Im sorry to write this but there is no posibility to make a profit on a restoration of a car as popular as a 126!
If you do go that way its best if you do this whit out any savings on the parts material ect. Becouse
after you sum up the cost the price 4 your 126 will be enourmous ! So no one will buy it , so you want to have a car thats made good becouse you will be driving it 4 a long time. Dont want to be rude but after few years of working whit old cars i kinda now the story on my own example.
There is however a way to go 4 you. Do it the whelers dealers way. Buy cheap, do some minor repairs, polish the paint job and sell !!
Any way, wish you luck, and hope i can help !
