hi, now starting to look for 126, my mum had a red 1980 deville years ago and as a kid i loved it, but when i hit 17 i was given a mini and went the bl way for several years! one house, one child, one wedding, two more children, and many years later i drive a 1993 nissan micra every day(because it never goes wrong) but want a play thing to get the spanners and brain working, i think i want a bis as the fire engine seems to be a great project to undertake, and because i would feel more guily chopping up an aircooled one, i have read lots on the forums about fitting a cinq engine, and i am fortunate enough to work for a company that subcontracts laser and water jet cutting, as well as a machine and fabrication shop, apart from weak gearboxes getting in the way, is this the best and most econmical way to make a 126 go well??? thanks in advance,

Mark

Welcome!
This is something i am also interested in.  The thing about the aircooled is that there is more space for a bigger engine without cutting things.  If you end up fabricating parts for this conversion let me know as i may be interested buying a set!

thanks, just need to firstly find a car, ebay has thrown up a couple this week, which i am watching, once i have one, i will get it on the road as it is and go from there, rather than mess about fitting non original motor and then realising the car isn't viable to mot, as i mentioned i drive a 1ltr micra every day and that 16v engine is brilliant, its unburstable and economical
