I am sure that I have a used tank up in my shed and I think that Darrell mentioned that he had a Bis Tailgate glass.

Ah so Rusty does read what I write  :P

If he's 'thinking' of buying the car, why not just buy one with all the necessary bits as there are alot about ;D

So far 9 post all wanted posts.
Not sure if he actually bought the car, sounds like it is incomplete

bought car in the end on the chance that you guys will come good with finding parts - i do like a challenge :o
user name came from

car is remarkable condition considering it has spent the last 3/4 years sat on a drive and only moved to outside a shop for advertising.

car needs a petrol tank and rear glass for tailgate
once we got car running we found it needs a new exhaust as well - best place and price for one?
also needs respray and new wheels


bit of rot on inside of tailgate skin which will need some attention before glass is sourced

rather than replacing traditional air filter is there an alternative performance one?
speak soon ;D

Come on everyone near him give him parts and make it fast, he can't wait.

Help him now!

After all you help other people that have been here for years and are polite and don't just ask for parts.

People that are to far away don't bother, he doesn't need time wasters.

 :D :D :D :P :P :P

sorry apparently i should have said "please" can you help with advice and locating parts etc
"please" reply as soon as you can which will help me to get the car back on road sooner rather than later
"please" let me know if there is any one in my area that can help
!please" should the 126 have a spare tyre and kept in the front?  i so i am missing one (another part needed
