Today 126 got full set of original engine bay stickers (did my best to find out where they going as it is in italian and only one also in english). I also fit rubber pad on an accerelator pedal and two brand new pipes for heating and air intake will wait until weekend to be fitted. Also Michael will sandblast tow engine bay covers (one above an exhaust and one under the engine, will paint them black and screw them in.
Plus long awaited screen wsher bag will go in place. And then I will have to say - it is more or less finished
BIG DAY IN WEEKEND AND IF WEATHER WILL ALLOW I WILL HAVE A RIDE IN MY COMPLETLY DONE 126  [-/














PS: I just did insure 126 with Footman James but these new regulations over there are cosmic - you cannot have it on a classic policy anymore if it is not registered in the UK. So I had to take modern policy (twice more expensive) with possibility to cancel within 14 days for a fee of £25.50!!
It means basicly I will have to registered 126 with DVLA, cancel policy paying fee and get a new one classic one. B***x.

I also got hold of one very old ABARTH badge for a engine lid. So far I am not sure where I am going to stick it but looks very nice.

Your orange Fiat is getting even better - Lovely. It is becoming a museum piece.

Ok, two covers sandblasted this morning, painted, dryed and fitted. So from engine bay point of view my 126 is finished and I have to say looks good to me (original stickers set was applied as well) plus few nice details. Now engine needs a good clean and polish but this will happend tomorrow. Ech, like that look now
Took it for a ride as it was dry and sunny - goeas like a rocket, sound like a rocket  [-/

were the sandblasters good? might end up taking some parts to them soon.

Very nice and honest people. They did the best job they could but quality of wheels I took (for polonez) was average itself so I am very pleased with effect. And quite cheal as for 4 14" wheels (lot of job to blast them) + two covers for 126 they charged me £40 all together.
Covers looks fantastic. Thanks for a tip michael.

The subject is frozen. It is a pity because the car was worthy of presenting and describing further modifications and history. What's up in Your 126p?

Amazing! Lovely colour! Hehe!
I'm on a mission to get my Satzuma looking as swish as yours Jan!
