Fiat 126 by Goro...
« on: November 07, 2010, 05:08:55 PM »
I was writing in "introduce topic" because I didn't see this topic before. I moved this here and will be writing in here for now on...

I buy it in friday. Car was made in 1991, but is registered for the first time 1993.
it has around 45 tkm, it was registered until two months ago, body is great, no rusty at all, everythig works perfect. Car was never hit or damaged, exept rear bumper a little(while woman was turning around :P). It cost me 400e. Next weekend I'll take it home.
I am satisfied with car alot. Must change oil and tyres and register it if I want ;)




I am planing to put 1.2 engine from Fiat Punto, disc brakes from Uno Turbo and all NEW parts I can find, but the main look will be original..exept rims ;)

I buy the brakes for now, still lookin for engine.



Cheers

I take the car on Korcula last Friday and got myself around the brakes and with a bit of trouble I got in right. I only have to remodel one hole for 2mm. I had a draft on the phone but the scale and range of holes all wrong, or it's for zastava 750 or some other brake callipers, don't know. So I go crazy while I drew on paper and more crazy when must rebuild when put on car. I didn't know will that work fine, so I made only one adapter and do it in a "rough" way. At the following weekend, I'll do another one and finalize the adapters. Iron is a 7mm thick, I don't think that will be blamed. For the disc on the right side only, car is burrows (at right :D) when I hit the brake, with two discs would be great.

With the caliper in that position have you checked the clearance on the top suspension arm when the car is on full lock  ???

So finally managed to find a garage. It is not something extra large, but will serve :D



I lifted the front hub and gave myself some brake work. Everything is in place, only to do a distance of 2mm between the hub and the disc, that disc can be exactly at the center between the claws. Disregards the screw of the wheel on the panel because I hadn't got another. Former owner of the claws probably damaged the snick and pierced it to 12x1.50mm. I just put it to see is everything as it should be, will buy new screws  ;)

Thanks Rusty :)..First I found some steel plates who were 5mm, but then I thought that these are the brakes, the major thing on the car. So I decided not to be miserly with the material and found an 7mm steel plate. It take me about half an hour for each one to cut and do the shapes, but I ain't in hurry so that doesn't bother me. Quality and safety first ;).

Finally holidays were here..I done the brakes and was driving 2-3 days with car..Everythig works fine and car brakes great ;-). Discs and pads are NEW. Front discs Metteli(ventilated 240mm), rear discs Breco(227mm), front and rear pads Ferodo SL.

Front ones were done last time, just need to make 3mm distance betveen disc and wheel hub and put it on car.




Last one were a little harder to do. I have no idea where to start because i found some rear disc conversions but with punto or zastava calipers..no ones with Uno Turbo ones. So I take rear left arm off and start with drowing and cutting. After some time I got some "normal" shape on paper. I find 6mm wood plate and drow the shape on it. There were mistakes, every time 1 or 2mm..but after 5 plates I got the exact measure. I put the disc and caliper on rear arm and everything fits perfect. I took 6mm steel plate and take it to the drilling mashine to do the same holes like on wood plate. Then I do the wanted shape, finalize it and put on arm. As everythig fits fine, I put the arm back to the car and put the plate and brakes on it. Steel brake hose stays original, just pointed in another way, rubber hose is the same as front one. The handbrake cable stays original too, just need to put handbrake 5cm back (there are 4 screws now, 2 was just to try it,I forget to take picture on the end). And I put the new main cylnder ;-). Rims are from Yugo, 5.5x13 and it fits without any distance.








I found some interior acessories like old type of ball on shifter and small steering wheel (will have to find some deep one because of my big legs :) )



Next to do is ti fit the raidator, ventilators and drag the pipes through the car..but only on weekends..damn school :P

Thanks  ;)

I was home for few days so there was some working on maluch. I done the suspension, battery frame and put the radiator. Radiator that I think to put on car was only original fiat to buy, and it was almost 200e :o. Then I take some old radiators and found that there will be good one from Fiat Panda 750/900/1000. That one was in VALEO version and cost 50e. I buy new one, and instal it. It fits like original ;). Battery frame is only fixed in position, still need to weld the carriers. I have to return the welding machine to my friend so I couldnt finish it.
