this one always pops up do you put your foot on the clutch when you start the car? as depressing the clutch pedal will help ease the load on the engine during starting? as for colour/paint its your car do what you want and bugger all the cynics!

Welcome Welcome! Very interested to see your paint job... My Fiat 126 is my first car and I have always dreamed of painting my first car but the original Orange paint work suits him so much I have decided to keep it - It would be wrong to paint him. but I think if your car has got a bad paint job then go for it! I'm getting an old Bedford van soon, and it really needs a paint job so I'm going to unleash my creative side on that vehicle instead.
Photo's please... we like photos.

Hey everyone, great to hear from you all! I will get on the photos asap although the project is of course a little behind schedule.....I am from Yorkshire however I am not a fan of customizing my car in the rain!! So far, one door panel on the inside is covered with a wonderful grass fabric.
I seem to have mastered the art of starting him up, just takes a bit of practice. The chugging, which seems to happen occasionally and never for any particular reason, I am assured is just a quirk of the car, and down to its limited cylinders!
I had an amusing conversation with my mechanic yesterday when I asked him why there are not enough leads for me to fit my ancient radio from my mothers old car......he pointed out that since "Eddie" as he is formally known now, has no speakers, i would struggle to hear the music anyway!! Ebay here i come!
ooooh and a little bit of advice please......what oil do i put in him?? my Haynes is not the easiest of reads for a car dunce like myself!
photos soooooon I promise!
