FOR SALE: Classic air-cooled 126 Sunroof Project!

[nervejam]

Hi. Been away a long time!

Anyway, this car is now for sale as a project. I've basically not done anything to it, other than start the engine regularly. There's more detail in the eBay listing.

Here's the eBay link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110089928757

Cheers,

Paul.

I've now sold this to Paulisa, who may be breaking it for spares. Contact him for details. (after he's picked it up, this morning..)

(Personally, I hope he can restore it instead.)

thats nice, another 126 saved!

[Tomasz]

surely that is better than spares!

[paulisa]

there is plenty of rust in the shell sunroof leaking like a seive not helping so i will be stripping out all the interior to assess the rot if it aint to bad she will go back on the road the motor runs sweet tho and it drives ok apart from the sticky throttle and the fact that the horn beeps everytime you turn the wheel

[126dave]

hope you save it.............

[paulisa]

will know more tomorrow just got mine back from the paint shop if i could work out how to put on pics i would but it is now ferrari yellow and nice and shiny

[126dave]

use the garage section......it has ebay style upload,even a clown like me can do it.............................

i know easy for me to say save it.......i do hope tho that its viable.

[Chris Lakin]

good luck Paulisa, i hope you find its savable, if its really too bad, then use it for spares.

breaks my heart seeing them broken up, but somtimes there really is no other use for them. Garage it for 10 years and it will be an investment!

regards

Chris

Best of luck with it, Paul!

As a footnote, Paul popped around on Saturday morning to pick up the paperwork, and turned up in his newly-restored Ferrari-Yellow 126FSM.
(Alloy wheels, arches tweaked to accomodate them...)
This car is loud in all respects..

My next-door neighbour (Gladys, 80), who has never appreciated the little Fiat, especially when I started it up, thought that it had been resprayed yellow and come back...

She was SOOOO relieved when it went away.

However, I'm not finished with 126s yet. Gladys beware.

Oh, and I'm having a garage clearout. Not 126 stuff, this time.
VW GOLF (MK2) Alloys, Fiesta XR2 "Pepperpot" (MK1/2) Alloys, and a Jetta front-end..


P.S. Get the pics uploaded!!!!!! That's a nice car...

[paulisa]
