Half a Car Fiat 126 Trailer

[nrg19uk]

Seen far to often on this site! I'm going to make a trike, bike engined car, BBQ. Strip all all the bits down start cutting then decide they no longer wish to carry on then eBay or scrappy! 


I think what made this one worse was the fact it was a very solid looking car there's people on here spent many of hours and hundreds/thousands of pounds getting there cars in similar sort of condition. Still im
Not fussed it makes my car even more rare and unique ;-)

No Amateb8, I do not think there will be a lot more of these projects in the future , not using right hand drive cars anyway. You all know the reason why !
THe value of the cars has gone up considerably in the last few years and with these new figures about the number of surviving cars, which all seems to be true if you read Practical Classics (nice one markymarc by the way) , then the rarity value can only drive that up further . Look at the number of people who come on the forum looking for a car and the number of watchers you get when a car is on eBay.
As for MIchael, well look at the time he posted on a Friday night. He would have been well into his bottle of 20 year old Glen Bagpipe by then and was probably overcome by a nasty bout of political correctness 
Michael has got the largest collection of angle grinders ever to be smuggled south of the border and he just likes cutting things 
As for rules etc. How many times have you all done things on the internet and you get the message. "To continue check the box after you have read the 20 pages of terms & conditions". You don't do you you just click the box & get on with life

Rusty, your jealousy of my angle grinders is something we shall have to discuss at a later date!
And that 20 yr old bottle of Glenbagpipe is highly over-rated, the 12 yr old Hoots mon is a more discerning choice!

Haha you guys crack me up.

Yes it was a good shell, infact it was so good I did think about moving it on but what would it have been worth as it was MOT and Taxless? A few hundred quid? What would have I got for that to replace it with? A rot box to spend countless hours welding, filling and fixing up as well as paint to make it look good, cost me a fortune for what? Na I decited just to use what I had, easier and cheaper in the long run, and in the end up it ended up making me money. The engine and box, doors, interior and brakes all went on to keeping other cars on the road so you should all be happy with that. As for the other parts I still have, they will see the inside of the big skips tomorrow, Shame eh!! Also as for not completing the project, it was completed as a trailer as the bonnet opened the wrong way for the BBQ idea to work. Not all of the car is away, I still have the back which is in paint at the moment, 2 small pieces of surface rust the size of a 1p piece on a rear arch and should be home and in place in my living room by next week as a novelty couch for the kids to sit next to my V8 table I built.

I am sorry for upsetting some of you but you really need to get a life and stop being so pathetic about a piece of metal, Anyone would have thought I commited murder haha I am a car lover although I bet you dont believe me but I dont care, I joined the forum as I thought some of you may be interested in some parts and to see what I was doing, in no way did I come on here to wind you up, If I dont get deleted for being a 126 hater (which Im not) i will delete all my posts and leave you all to it. Just to say though, It WAS a good project, I thoroughly enjoyed doing the job and would not hesitate in doing it all again and if that was to use another 126 I would. The new owner of the trailer was very happy with it and I would hope he gets plenty of use out of it. My kids really looking forward to his new couch coming and I and looking forward to it as well. All the best. The End!!!

Tit!

I couldn't care who does what with their property, given some 4.6 million were made, I'm sure there are plenty left anyway. Think how many cars get written off pointlessly every year?

[dajwid]

The guy joined the site to wind people up, and managed to do just that.

I am amazed someone paid £150 for the dodgy looking trailer.

I am also making a trailer so can't comment too much but mine donor car was totally rotten, see my old thread.
I gave away many of the bits from the car, the front end was useless so Mr scrappy got that minus everything of any use.

[fiatmaluch126]

If its rotten, and there's a possibility of making use of what's salvageable then ok. Even more so, if your doing it for yourself!

^^ WHS.

Ultimately it was Fraz's car to do what he pleases and to call someone a "tit" because of it is a bit steep really. It's also not a very friendly vibe to be giving off as a forum as a whole. It is a shame to see a car cut up, don't get me wrong, but Fraz did create some spare parts to keep the other cars going and also created something that was really quite cool. I was quite tempted by myself, just wasn't in a position to collect. I think it would have looked really cool behind my 126.

Ha ha it ended-up making money
What a load of old cobblers considering an average air cooled with MOT etc goes for about 2k, more for real good ones!

All that needed was a bit of TLC and it would have got that. It even had selling points like disc brakes worth like £1000 from some suppliers.

His loss my gain, my car is now rare-er.

These projects are about as much of a laugh as the average wheeler-dealers stuff on tv where they 'make' £200.....what about tha labour etc etc?
PS. it didn't wind me up, it winds my car's price up!
I don't care, I agree he's a tit  A tit with a couch that even kids will grow out of 
Do another project mate
We need our investments to go up a bit more

I am finding it hard to keep abreast of this thead as my mammary is not so good these days 
Anyway to change the subject I thought you might like to see the spare toilet roll holder in my bathroom. It was a new & unused original 695ccs Abarth Esse Esse engine. I just threw away all the unwanted bits and it does a great job 
What do you think I hope I did not drop a boob 

[dajwid]

 

Abarth bog roll holder, fantastic!!

[nrg19uk]

Hahaha I wonder if it helps you go any quicker 

[dajwid]

Or has the occasional misfire

[Fraz13]

Tit indeed lol Dont you just love the keyboard gangsters on the net..

Thanks to the few with the decency to oversee the clowns in the background, Feel free to pop in and call me a tit to my face next time your in the Glasgow area, I would love to hear from you!!!

Anyway, I will repeat that I DID NOT mean to cause offence to anyone on here and yes your cars are a bit rarer now.

i paid £250 for the car, sold the engine for £230, the doors and interior for £70, The brakes for £100 and the trailer for £325, You do the maths!!! I did have other bits but there binned now.

Anyway, The forums sucks baws, was good to help a few people out with parts and met a few that were very pleasant and nice to deal with in the process. There are, like all forums, a few cocks that think there the dogs bollocks, probably licked a few anyway that spoil it for others. Yes I chopped up a fantastic shell, So what? It was mine, it cost me nothing, made money and thats that. Yes it would have been worth more as a whole on the road but thats not what I wanted it for. Just understand that and stop being so nasty about it all.

OK I think its about time if theres any moderators on here to close it down and you can all bitch at your next meet.
