Hello!
« on: August 15, 2009, 09:33:18 PM »
Hi, I live near Caerphilly, South Wales, i've been a member for quite a while but never posted anything on the forum.  

I've had the 126 pictured since last october and not really had a chance to do any work on her, it's not in as good condition as it looks from the photo, bit tired really.  

I wouldn't mind getting bucket seats and a full body kit for her, she already has wide wheels and arches.  Also want to acquire a racing steering wheel.  

It's been done up to look like a polski fiat rally car and whoever did it didn't do a bad job.

I am also looking into getting a bigger engine for her but haven't a clue where to start. Would appreciate any tips. :D

Hi and welcome to the forum  :D good little project you got there by the looks of it! As regards your question on bigger engines, not many direct options from FIAT as far as i know aside the tried and tested 903cc unit from a 127/600/900/cinq/seic, although you gotta find room for it somehow along with a decent radiator, plus modify the engine bay &drivetrain etc etc. one idea is to use a vw aircooled flat four (from a beetle/camper/fastback), best bet is a bored out 1200, they are amazingly compact (being aircooled), flat, and easy to work on. check out TES -www.theengineshop.info/page2.html . Cheers. Dan
