some more photos.
made rear spacers total with plates 31mm wider, so later rear arches will be wider.
master cylinder with bigger piston 20,6mm looks very simmilar to master cylinder from 126

Tyres are 165/55 r 13
and master cylinder from Uno fits very good to the car,
the one problem my old bolts holding master cylinder both snapped, so unfortunately drilling time to replace bolts, ohhhh....

That looks fantastic mate :thumbup great tip about the undo master cylinder, will that make it a less spongy feel at the pedal because it's bigger?

 Looking great. I like all that gold too, very bling 8)
 One question, how come you are using bis swing arms and what are the shock absorbers from? Seems to be a pain to get decent shocks for the bis.

Gadge I have been used standart cylinder with front disc for around 8mths working fine but feel that could be better, so bigger piston will do job as my other friend use it and brakes really good. will give feedback soon hope this will be worth hours and hours spent with this brakes.

Rear arms are from BIS and found them with blistein shock in my other fiat 126 with 903cc engine, fiat was all rotten but arms after resto looks better :)

Great work and many thanks for the info on the Uno master cylinder.
 
I have had a spongy long travel pedal since fitting discs up front with locking up wheels if pushed hard in an emergency! Not a nice feeling.

Do you have a part number for the Uno master cylinder (as there so many to choose from)?
Thanks again, John
