1990 Fiat 126 Pickup Conversion

[mt2man]

Oh dont worry, i will be getting it IVA'ed when its finished anyway, im planning a engine conversion next year too, so really it will be a new build so may need to be Q plated, but we shall see nearer the time

I'm Bursledon, so very local. Just down the A27 for me.

I seem to get-away with an MOT every year at my local garage, if you want to give them a go when it's done.

[Madd]

I do not like such modifications. Fan of you, however, and I believe that this will change and show that the 126p can really make a nice pick-up;)

[skelz]

Well done mate.. I love it u clearly have some skills...

[mt2man]

Cheers for the support guys, i understand it may not be to everyones taste, but i like it so ya know

Righttt its finishedd, well structurally and mechanically, cosmetically it needs to be finished, but heres some pics

Excuse the frost and the make shift temporary tarpalin pickup bed cover haha





























Watcha think so farrr?

[Madd]

Body-kit , and eyebrows.. hmm.. get out with them

Where is a original trafficators?

[mt2man]

It only has wide wheel arches before i plan on some wide wheels and for it to be loww ill probually be removing the evil eyes.
The trafficators? Do you mean indicators? If so this is just for the mean time untill i install smaller "cat eye" stye indicators on the front, i feel the originals are slightly to large, but each to there own i guess

[Madd]

Do you mean by that?

[mt2man]

Yes either like that, or i will remove the bike indiactors and install smaller indicators where the originals would have been. Although i do like the idea of having a smooth front after looking at that picture

[Madd]

Thinking about painting?

[mt2man]

Yes i will be painting it in the new year when it gets abit warmer, i am undecided if i am keeping it a pink/lilac/purple ish kind of shade, or wheter to go with something abit more sensible, but i like to be different, I shall decide eventually haha

[Madd]

I would recommend a different color. something nobody in the UK did not invent:)

[mt2man]

What colour do you recomend?

[gsxr126]

Colour is your choice but have to agree - not pink. Earlier in the build i would have said pink is ok, but the mods look better than i expected so i would go for a classier/tougher colour. IMHO you cant make pink look tough no matter how hard you try and your mods are going that way.
