Awesome I'll get in contact soon-
Today the front suspension came off and now needs stripping ready for powder coating-

He looks a litte sad without it-

More soon!

[stuey]

Steering rack, kingpins and column uj etched primed after degreasing ready for black gloss- I can't really powder coat these so the will just receive a good painting!

[stuey]

All painted black-

And the engine and box out I have to flip the car on its side and clean the under side ready for painting-

I may have put 'lil rod' to one side for my true love but this little 126 will be a gem!!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks Marc I'm determined it's gonna be done this year

And with that in mind- hup!

Steering rack rebuilt with new boots

Underside was wire brushed, etch primed and now being stone chipped- once I've finished I'll paint it body colour and then wax all of the cavities ready to put it back on its wheels!

 Looking good Stuey. That will be one clean 126 when it`s done .

[Gadge]

Excellent work stu! I plan on doing something similar except I'll won't be rolling the car on its side - opting for the more complicated way of rolling around underneath getting waxoyl in my hair
