Hello everyone, I have just got home from buying my first Fiat 126!!! it is a 126p w reg made in 2000.....and he is FAB!! I am having our mobile mechanic man round in the next few days to check him over, as he is a bit grumpy in the mornings when i ask him to start.....any handy tips are appreciated....but my extremely limited knowledge of car things, makes me think he is not firing quite right, when he is chilly.
Anyway, I am beginning the pamper project today one it stops raining. He has a very funky carpet ceiling which I love but it keeps shedding on my head, and the seats are a very lovely pleather material i think, so some super snazzy liberty type fabric is going to be making its way on to that! I can hear you all groaning at me!!!
I also reeeealy want to paint him. His paint job at the moment is pretty bad, attempts to fill around the windscreen has resulted in a slightly lumpy two tone effect. He is a wonderful blue colour at the moment and I have a burning desire to decorate him with some green grass at the bottom with tulips sprouting from it!! ooooh and probably some clouds on the roof!!.....and the groans turn in to gasps.
I wanted to know really, if anyone else had done a smiliar thing at any point.....oh to try and defend myself slightly, I am an artist and hope to have my fab little car as a bit of an advertising tool too.
Any advice on spraying, stencils, hand painting, etc, and then interior stuff too, would be greatly appreciated!!
I love my car and he is the second best thing i have ever bought....first being my springer spaniel that sits very proudly on the passenger seat!!
Bye for now xx
