Here are some photos of a severe storm that affected Havana for the last 3 days, with heavy rain and flooding. My Fiat 126 did not even feel it!! Im very happy with the performance of these little car under heavy rain. Many Russian cars were parked next to the road because they could not go, and i was just smiling because im very small but very strong under water :)..
Enjoy,

Thanks man, with your help ill continue to improve the car perfomance and more :) . Seriously, thank you very much for everything !!.
And yes, there are thousands of Fiat 126p in Cuba, they came as part of a treaty with the polish Government in 1980's . My uncle have told me the stories of the Ships arriving at the Port of Havana with literally thousands and thousands of Maluch's!. From that day we call them "Polaquitos" (a word that is a diminutive of the word Polish).
Many cubans still love the little one because they practically save our lives. Personally i keep this car as original as they came, thats were i find the charm and love! . They are very economic yet very small as well!! ahahaha!
Cheers friends.

Well, it goes without saying that your car looks absolutely superb. "sunny" hardly begins to do it justice :good:
An interesting item appeared here in the UK from the BBC recently, about older cars in Cuba: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33884714
With the opening up of relations with the USA, you can probably expect American collectors to start buying up some of the US-made cars and shipping them away to the USA. I wonder what our US cousins will make of the Polaquitos (what a wonderful name!)?
Already there are signs in the UK that Cuba is becoming a fashionable holiday destination, so Cuba looks set for change... and change is always unwelcome for some, and cannot come fast enough for others. I hope not too many Polaquitos are lost in the rush to get newly-available American cars (and presumably Asian and European brands will follow soon after).
Guard your Polaquito carefully - it is a treasure!
-
I just read the Article @ BBC , its very well done!
Don't worry. As you say, big changes are coming up ahead regarding the US-Cuba Relations, the restoration of the Diplomatic Relations are the tip of the iceberg. As a Cuban i tell you that i look forward to the developing of the "ties" with US because it will bring prosperity and much more. And yes, i think i will see it with my own eyes, American cars collectors will arrive very very soon and start buying the old classics.
Cuba has always been a destination for Tourists around the world, but right now our country its experiencing a "boom" in Tourism, and all that is due to, as i said, the restoration of diplomatic ties. Personally I've met some British friends, because my House is for Rent and its nearby a very nice beach.
Personally my thoughts are to keep this car for ever, even if a buy another one in the future.
I launch again the invitation to all Club Members, if you are coming to Cuba , specifically Havana, contact me and ill prepare a Trip in the Maluch to show you the best of our City !
Cheers.

Greetings from worm Havana!!
Since last Friday morning I've had problems with the Car. At the beginning i thought that it was a Fuel Pump problem since recently i switched for a new one. Well, i switched back to the old one and nothing, the problem continues. The car was pretty unstable at LOW and HIGH RPMs, it even shutdown when i released the foot of the accelerator pedal. I checked the Spark plugs and the spark plug cables, putted two new Champion Spark Plugs and still no luck.
So i went ahead and unmounted the carburetor and cleaned every since part, i reassemble everything and it worked well for 1 or 2 hours of testing. Finally i checked the Distributor and the contact points, and putted a new Rotor. Today after all that tests i decided to check again the carburetor. I putted out the small part that control the mix of air an petrol, and i checked that the little rubber at the end of this part was not good, i putted a new one, and voila, so far no problems at all.
I was going CRAZY!, this little engines are very problematic!! LOL.
Tomorrow ill drive to a Town that's 45 KM from here, and see how it goes , hope i don't brake on the highway!! :D
-
That's good news :good: fingers crossed it will be OK now, stop making us jealous telling us how nice the weather is :P we are still waiting for summer to arrive as we head to winter
-

Hehehe , well, that good weather has changed to a very rainy day!!. The car is behaving excellent, today i wen to school (wich es 35KM away) and yesterday to a friends house at 45KM away and it worked like charm!
Cheers,
PS: I wish we had winter time here, with SNOW!!! :D
-
Re timed the engine today to 15-20 degrees BTDC and adjusted the carburetor, works pretty damn well now :D!!

Two days ago my uncle and i installed the new tripods !!!

Great work :thumbup I will be fitting mine very soon. How did you find it fitting them? Any difficulties and tips? ;D
-
I got instruction for tripods Gadge.
-
Hi piotross that's great! Can you pm me them please :D
-
Hey Gadge!!
The installation of the Tripods was very easy thanks to a PDF that Piotross mailed to me (http://motomax.pl/www-1/instrukcje/instrukcja-126.pdf)
But, since in my Country the streets are in terrible shape, holes everywhere, and the tripods are going to be in continuous movement throughout the metal case, i was afraid that the Plastic Cylinder that came with the tripods was going to brake the rubber boot in a matter of time, so i make a little incision on the axle and put a cir-clip (see the photo) , so that i may have more strength and durability.
Always remember that parts here are extremely difficult to find, so things have to last for years!.
Cheers,
(http://club126uk.co.uk/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9167.0;attach=8694)
-
Great stuff :D interesting to see that the nut goes on backwards (the nylon part going on first). What is the point of the plastic tube? Can it be left off?
-
The small plastic tube that comes with the tripods goes before you insert the tripod on the axle. Remember that the tripod is in constantly movement inside the metal case , so the rol of the plastic tube is to prevent that the tripod will "fell of" the axle, in other words, to prevent losing traction and limit the movement of the tripod.
-
Can i ask where you bought the tripod joints from and the cost?

Ill bought the tripods from Piotross , contact him via this forum, he will give you more information.

Hey Folks!
Ill be updating during these days regarding the restoration of the engine and part of the gearbox.
First of all, just remember that i live in CUBA, where to find a fiat 126 part is pretty damn rare and expensive, even thought i know most of the people that sell this parts, including a Polish guy that came to Cuba many years ago, and lives at Downtown Havana.
So, im making this restoration with many parts that i bought from Piotross and some i founded here in my country.
Just to let you know and get you guys into context, because here in this country Post Offices doesnt work (LITERALLY), i had to send the parts to my sister at Spain from Poland, and she starts to send me little by little every time she can with friends that come to visit Cuba. So you can imagine that i've been waiting for parts during many months, nevertheless i got them here finally!.
The people that are working on this resto are , my father, wich has 30 years of expertise on diesel engines (He is a Mechanical Engineer graduated in the Soviet Union maaaany years ago, he is working on Ships at Dominican Republic right now), My Uncle, wich has a shop to fix cars .. steering, gearbox, engines, etc,and has been a Mechanic for more that 20 years, a friend of us, and me! (no expertise but learning a lot!!).
We removed the engine on Tuesday, and the gearbox yesterday (Wednesday), we removed the Gearbox just to change the axles for new ones and by the way , change the oil and put some seals. The old axles where pretty bad and they were going to screw the Tripods that Piotross send me :)
Engine Mileage Before Full Restoration :
Well, since i bought it , it has been 52000KM (2 Years) , the previous owner drove it for another 50000KM.
Ok, little introduction, here are some photos.

Good luck with the restoration Jorge, you made a good start on the tinware :good: One thing i admire about you guy's in Cuba is that you are quite resilient when it comes to repairing and making replacement parts ;D
-
Last time new parts to AvB's Fiat came very quickly to Cuba :)
-
Ok here i come with another update of today's (Friday) work!
Well after 1 Hour of uploading photos to Tinypic ..... (30Kbps MODEM! OMG!!!! Yes i know ...)
Today we putted the new axles with the cir clips in the gearbox. We organized all the cables and did a clean up inside the car .. also we putted new headlights! now i can finally drive OK at night time!!!
@Pete126 yes, we have to make "inventions" to live and even more to repair engines in a country where you cannot find nothing !, but with a little bit of luck everything goes smooth as silk :) ..
@Piotross parts were sent to Dominican Republic not to Cuba :D!!! keep in touch will ask for more parts in a little while.
See pics! Engine is almost ready .. so tomorrow i think it will be fitted to the place were it belongs!!
Trying to fit the Giannini Valve Cover (HELL IT WAS A BIG JOB! its not "plug and play" .. as it came it didnt fit so we have to make use of our inventors skills :D)

I like the new circlip position instead of the plastic tube to keep the cv's in place. I think I will adopt this when fitting my next set of cv's. Looking good.

Good work AvB 8) I love the fact you can just dry painted bits outside. It looks lovely and warm there.
Also I can`t believe the mileage you`ve done in your car over two years. It just shows you how capable these little engines are if they looked after.

Yesterday a newspaper from Colombia (i think!) released a article about the "revival" of Fiat 126s in Cuba . Its totally in Spanish.. so , take out your dictionary or use a translator :)
Cheers friends.

Looking good mate :good:

A quick update on whats been going on during this months of 2017.
1 ) Did oil change on March, checked contacts points, fuel filter (wich i must change during this week, very poor quality) and prepared for a trip i made on April to Matanzas, wich is a province nearby Havana, around 90KM to be more exact.
2 ) Changed front tires for a couple of brand new BridgeStone 145/70 R12 and also cheek everything of steering mechanism, joints, etc. Everything smooth!
3 ) Bought some alternator belts and changed one i had for new one
4 ) Fitted new voltage regulator for alternator that i bought from Piotross over in Poland
5 ) Repaired starter engine with new brushes, cleaned everything.
6) Fitted new wheel (dont know if this is the correct word to describe this!!)
7) Bought a new battery in last december,28th!!!
So far so good. Car is behaving as it should, pretty decent power, excellent steering and brakes. Really glad of all of this. On my last trips, wich i mentioned above, the little FIAT behave excellent!! 300KM total mileage of trip and everything smooth as silk!
Planned next trip to Vinales, is a valley that is 190KM from here, excellent views, people and environmeng :). Will leave very early in the morning so can spend mostof the day over there and return at late afternoon/night. Of course, will prepare little fiat for all of this :)

Oh, that Cuba... it's SOOOO boring..... endless roads with no traffic... plenty of empty spaces in the car parks... miles and miles of clear blue seas and clear blue skies... endless hours of brilliant sunshine ... I don't know how you can live in such a dull uninteresting place.
You should come to Britain, we have all different sorts of rain here, and plenty of grey skies too, and so many cars on the roads you will always have some new variety to look at, and you can spend hours driving around all sorts of different places looking for somewhere to park.... then when you get to the coast there are thousands of new people to meet and talk to, and discuss interesting topics such as how long it took *them* to find somewhere to park... and then there's the sunshine, why we have even several minutes of it on some days... it's MUCH better here than in Cuba ...
PS: [whispers] how much is the air fare to Havana ... ???
:D

Wooot !!! drcdb15 you are the only one replying on this topic, thank you!!!!
First of all, im personally TIRED of sooooo many sunny days!!! Its unbelieveble, here its sunny the entire year! Thats why we call Cuba an "Eternal Summer".
Right now is a day with no clouds, perfect to go to Varadero or to many of the other beaches over here. I wish i could come to Britain :P , i lived in Spain for many years, but have never been in Britain :(. Prices on plane tickets are around $US 700 from London to Havana, and if you were to came here i can get you a place to stay at a pretty decent rate nearby to the beach (10-12KM) in my town and, of course, a tour on my 126 throught all Havana free of charge :) . I just wish anyone of the Club Members came to Cuba so they know, first hand, how we maintain our 126's and visit our Club, will really like it!. Best time to visit Cuba is when is Winter over there (October-February), because over here we have temperatures of 25C and, still, sunny days!
I want people to know about Cuba, but not just what newspappers says!
Thanks again for replying,
Keep in touch!
