So hello everyone!!! At has been a long time since my last update. The reason is simple i was desperate...
In my last update i changed the flexible joint. But after a couple of run, the car did the same thing, the engine was running, the gears were good but the car wasn't movieng. So when i checked again i found out that the axles head just "ate" the gears in it. So i bought new ones one the internet. Put them in the morning jumped in my car in the afternoon and hit the road. After like 600meters the car stopped running. I mean the same problem(AGAIN!!!) i wasn't expecting that, the axles just exploded in pieces.(!!!) I thought about the reasons why it could happen, i finnaly found that it my be due to the vibration caused by my new transmissions support... I lokked on the net, and unfortunately i couldn't find any. So i just waited to find a way to fix this. 1 Month ago i heard from a friend that a burned 126Bis was "sleeping" somewhere. He gave me the adress and i went there. I talked to a couple of people, and i found out that the car was for more than 4years(!!!). This week i just called some friend we went there with all the requaried stuff to operate this car. and we just took everything we could.
Once i was back home i changed the transmissions supports, Changed the axles head(the original ones were much much more better!!)( I also found out that a lots of things are missing on my car). And now it is running again!!! Thank God!!!! Just couple of problem with the electricity, and a lot of vibration( i don't know why and i am scared of this)
The "new" axles and the old one

The "new" axles head after the exploded



I hope to send more pics of my car soon. I am currently very very busy. And i also want to send a video of it doing Donuts :D:D:D

So after a long time i must update this post :)
Lastly the car is working and running :)(Finally) Only 2 things are remaining, the electrical wiring which must be remade(thanks to me!! :o ) and the bodywork.
I also have a little problem with the engine running. At first the engine was just fine, and run smoothly once at temperature. However since a couple of weeks the engine is stalling at any time. Once i get my foot of the gas the engine just stall and stop. So i have to allways keep my foot on the gas. Lately i noticed something else, when i push the gas fully, and keep it that way, the engine just dance (?!). i mean it is like i push the gas and pull it and push again. However, i just keep my foot on it for real. Any advice, or idea why this might happen?
Here is a video of it.
