I'm finally a FIAT 126 owner!
« on: March 22, 2014, 09:49:58 AM »
Well we have got it, finally and after an epic 480 mile round trip I now have a 1983 Fiat 126 brown in white sitting outside the house. Pics to follow.

I have a couple of jobs to do today so would appreciate any advice as I have no manuals.

Replace the broken choke cable

Fix the front passenger door which won't lock with the key.

Get another ignition key cut. Are blanks available?

Also I will need a plastic ignition lock surround so let me know if anyone has one suitable for a RHD car.

Cheers Matt

Congratulations, Matt, that's great news! ;D

If you have a key and just need a spare then try. This company, they take the number on the key and post you one out...

Yes I can confirm that Matt has the 126 as he just left my place about 30 mins ago in it  :)
Nice little motor with the usual few things to shake down but choke cable and door lock now sorted.

Need a few odds and ends.

Firstly though I need the following

A pair of standard red rear light lenses, a right hand side door mirror or the plastic base of one those bullet ones are uttter utter stupidity.  ;D

Have a look at the 126parts website. He is a sponsor on here and best place for new parts.
