hey looks cool, make sure you clean your engine with petrol, i did mine and the shining aluminum is really B E A U T I F U L L )

p.s. does your bis leak oil? just curious...

[ryhan_pea]

no its doesnt seem to, just loads of oil over the tappet cover and engine. when i took the cover off there were no washers to stop the oil coming out the bolt holes so i think thats where it was coming from. where does yours leak from?

[Gordan]

Ooo, cool, how many miles does your have? (Or km?) (mine has 92000, but it could be 192000 although i doubt it...)
Mine is leaking from the rear bearing, the bellhousing is always soaked...  ::
so i have to pour some oil in every 2 months or so...

Oh and could you do me a favour, could you snap a few pics of your carb, just wonering if you guys got the same one as we... thx

[ryhan_pea]

can anyone guess the locations of my rusty holes?

and will that last picture of the clamp on the leafspring pass an mot?

i am going to restore the body soon as i get my garage clear and get all the kit to do it, i already have a compressor and a spray gun waiting.

you can make yourself a new clip to clamp the leafspring its very easy

Ah, yes those rust holes are a familiar sight on a Fiat 126 If the clamp won't disintegrate as you clean it, then i reckon a bit of paint will get it through the mot...
