What have I done?!

[markymarc]

Just when you thought you had finished I found some cool looking chequered trim for the side gutters!!

Hate the plastic. chrome guttering in 126s, always ripped mine off as my first job, yours however looks great.

can you see anything out of the mirrors    Thought not

Many thanks for all the kind words, we all love to tinker and all have our own style and taste but do feel with these little cars less is more and subtle wins out on most occasions.  I do already have a new idea for this little daily driver which may happen for next year!!  Keep looking as I get bored easily,

Keep loving your 126 they need us

As the interior in my daily driver was scabbed from my project 126 it will have to go back in as project 126 gets closer. As a start I wanted black door panels, and if I can do it cheaply I will to save the pennies for elsewere.
BIS panels have a pretty hideous pattern material on the seats and door cards so I got some fabric paint washed the door cards and applied. After drying in the fantastic weekend sunshine they pass the "marky cheap" test!!

Seems to work, what do you think?

This is just to bring my restoration to the top as my e-mail is buggered and some people may wish to check it out to see wot I have done via e-bay where it is now for sale!

Many thanks to the help with this project and I hope to get my next one under way this year.......

Hi, i saw this 126 at the italian show in tonbridge wells, i was wondering where you got the black headlight surrounds?

[Madd]

Triumph of form over content.
Too many gadgets, chessboards, paintings, stickers itp...

At the beginning it was great.

You can't please all the people all of the time!! I do try though?

I like it, got me thinking about the vinyl roof again, got a vinyl sign guy at work now but think I'd go the proper Seventies vinyl.
