Alfa 126
« on: November 11, 2011, 06:19:28 PM »
Hello,

I'm coming from Germany, so my english is very bad. So I'm sorry.
I saw the nice projects of p3mp and pete126. Therefore I want you not withhold my project. Cause my car is running and I think, I get it road legal.

It is a Fiat 126 from 1981, but now it looks like an earlier one.

The front suspension arms is selfmade with struts instaed of the leaf-spring.
The pedals with Powerbrake and clutch cylinder is from an Alfa Romeo 33. Even the engine an the Gearbox,

Actually is it an 1,5L engine with 84hp.
But later I want to install an 1,7L 16V engine with original 132hp.

Here are my Online photo album with very much pictures and twovideos:

Yesterday I started the next testdrives and worked some small things at the car. I adjusted the front axle and unfortunately I found an oil leak at the shaft sealing ring on clutch side......

I like the fact that you have kept the bodyshell relatively original. It is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing. Keep up the great work!!

Nono, five forward gears and one reverse.
I turned the gearbox abaut 180°, cause it's not possible to turn the diff in her housing.

At this picture, you can see the position of the gearbox in original position.

And at the next picture you can the position in which I implanted it in my car.

I'm sorry I was being a little silly with my comment but you have done well. I have worked on many of these gearboxes which is why I asked the question about the gears. These are a great little box and I always loved overhauling them. Best wishes.

Well done! I still remember the first (of many) of these gearboxes I rebuilt- it was in my Alfa Sprint and I pulled it all apart the day before the workshop manual arrived.
Feeling very proud of myself at the neatly arranged parts on my workbench the next day I opened the manual to the Gearbox section only to find it didn't cover the 5 speed as it advised you to take it to an Alfa dealer because it was "too complicated and required 21 special service tools"!!!!!!!!!!
I threw the nice new manual in the bin and it went back together just fine...
Great project- keep the updates coming!

Two weeks ago, I dismantled the engine in cause of an oil leak. So I changed the shaft seal on Clutch side.
Then I mounted the engine, modified the cooling system, so that its easylier to get the air out of the system.

And then. It pissed oil like before.
So I diemantled the engine for the second time.
And there was a little crack  >:(
