Title: I'm finally a FIAT 126 owner!
Post by: baron_matt on March 22, 2014, 09:49:58 AM: Well we have got it, finally and after an epic 480 mile round trip I now have a 1983 Fiat 126 brown in white sitting outside the house. Pics to follow.

I have a couple of jobs to do today so would appreciate any advice as I have no manuals.

Replace the broken choke cable

Fix the front passenger door which won't lock with the key.

Get another ignition key cut. Are blanks available?

Also I will need a plastic ignition lock surround so let me know if anyone has one suitable for a RHD car.

Cheers Matt

If you have a key and just need a spare then try. This company, they take the number on the key and post you one out...

Nice little motor with the usual few things to shake down but choke cable and door lock now sorted.

Firstly though I need the following

A pair of standard red rear light lenses, a right hand side door mirror or the plastic base of one those bullet ones are uttter utter stupidity. ;D
