Fiat 126 by Goro...

The radiator on the upper pictures has expansion tank under the level of engine, so it is not good for me. The air will stays in pipes and I didnt think about that when I was buying it . My friend Zuraw told me that this one is not good for what I need, so I managed to change it in time. Thanks Zuraw . Still need to cut front panel and panel behind fans to get the air under the car. And I made new battery holder .





I also got rims for my maluch. It is Stilauto 13x5.5 et 16. I will polish them all exept those six hearts, they are going in black color. Rear ones are going without any distance, but front ones need 5mm. So i will try to hone front callipers a little because I dont like distance so much .

Damn school, I havent been home for 2 weeks till this friday . There was some problems with transporting the aluminum plate, so I done some other things till plate come.
I cut front panel, bumper and make aluminium plate that put the air directly into the radiator, still need to find black screws because this gold ones are digging in eyes



I also do the + cable and aluminum cover of radiator . That air doesnt go under the hood and that I can put tyre or some tools there without touching the fans or radiator. I am not satisfied with the angle of the plate, so I will cut it little next week


And this is with BWA Sportstar 13x8 et 1 from my Yugo


Next week I hope that 28mm aluminium plate will came, so that I cant do the gearbox plate

There were some problems with garage and money...so I put original 126's engine and will register it dor this summer. Car is prepared for swap of any engine, just need to get cooling pipes through the car. But that after summer...

Next week i will paint bumpers and side skirts with bumper sprey, and then it is ready for registration

First of all, big cheers to everyone, it has pass time since I've been here....

Finnaly I mannage to get some money and time for my maluch. But there's change of plan...I decice to put 1.6 Fiat sohc engine like in my yugo, but this time it will go central mounted. For start it will bi stock one with 84-86hp with short gearbox. I mannage to find front suspension from Abarth here in Croatia...one man buy it 4 months ago in Padova in Italy for his maluch but he has 30hp so hi told me he don need it. Suspension is new and never mounted. For 2-3 days I will get money from job and I hope this suspension will be in my hands as soon as possible. Here is few pictures of it:





I got engine and gearbox, only thing that bothers me is how to fit rear suspension in easiest way. I thought to put whole front end from some yugo because I have few of them. I dont want to strech body, but to look as original from the outside. So I guess there will be a lot od cutting and welding. Best thing will bi to make custom holders for rear suspension and cut and weld halfshafts from yugo....

Any sugesttion is welcome

Cheers, Goran

Very nice parts and you are building a awesome car! 

I'm thinking also converting my front suspension to coilovers.

Could you measure me this:



I also need the minimum and maximum lenght of the shock absorber. Could you push the shock (without spring) to its minimum and measure it. Then pull it to the maximum length and measure it again? I would be very grateful of that information!

There will bi no problem to measure that when that part came in my hands...Im still waiting money from my boss. As soon it comes I send money to owner of suspension and then he send it to me.
