Why a 126 rather than a 500? Easy.. theyre cheaper and more modern

I tend to get my kicks from making generally slow cars quicker in a street sleeper kind of way hence the lust for tuning a 126.

Id be gratefull if you could find some links for me.
Thanks

according to the page, garage you have not actually modified any of your cars.
Or have you just not updated your posts?

Lowering is dead easy, handling is rock hard. Improving steering is dead easy.
Engine the normal route is a 900 Fiat engine very easy conversion then tune that.
Tuning the 650 is realy a pain . As soon as I get a bit of time I will translate the Polish pages.
Over here there are tuned 126s everywere.
Parts for disk brakes from a polonez, very cheap but work well.
Springs cut down from Polonez truck.

My wife is due to give birth any day so won't be anything for a week or so.

Nice splitty by the way. Will you be at any of the VW shows this year? I will only make the Brighton Breeze as moving back to UK in September with my bus full of 126 parts and my 126 too.

Check for rot, then take off the wheels and check again!!!!
Anything alse is easy to fix, but the rot monter is a killer.
