Title: Hello, new 126 Bis owner
Post by: jon5698 on July 16, 2012, 09:21:50 PM

Hello just got myself a little project to keep me busy, it is a 1991 Bis and is in need of a bit of love! got the car dropped off at my work today and as far as i can see the body is pretty solid apart from a hole in the scuttle panel and a few dents here and there. The rear brakes are locked on and i spent about 3hrs trying to free them off to no avail! going to give it another go tommorrow night and hopefully they will give.

Here are a few pics for now and i will start a project thread and post the rest in there.
Thanks Jon

Thanks, it should be quite a fun thing to work on. I live in the north east ( sunderland  ), just seen that it says Italy on my profile so will have to change that lol

Hello and welcome to the Forum. Good luck on your project. I think I saw this on ebay. Apart from the scuttle panel, the body looks good. Sort out the dents, a coat of paint, it will look new!

Thanks, as far as i can see that is the only hole so far, i have had the carpets up and the floor looks solid :) i will get the engine dropped and refurb all the suspension etc as it has a lot of surface rust on it. Yeah it was on ebay, have fancied one for a while but this came up and it was local so got it.
