This is my little jewel after it's ground up "proper" serious restoration. Car is practically NEW! About 90% of it's parts were replaced NEW. Many original Fiat OEM NOS parts, like the body panels ( 21 pieces replaced), tinted glass all around, every rubber gasket/weather seal, chrome, stainless steel trim, interior, seats, door panels, rubber seals, dash pad, brakes, bearings, bushings, suspension parts, lights, restored Cromodora 13 inch wheels with new center caps, 135 tires 90% new rubber. Too much to list! This car has lots of chrome and stainless steel added tastefully. Please note this is an original mother Fiat Italian production 126, model personal 4 with the 650cc engine and a whopping 24 hp!. This is not the FSM, Niki Polish production version.

Too many pictures to show but here is a basic step bye step pictorialI did during each faze of the restoration. I completely did ALL the work on the car from start to finish. So there are no excuses and nothing to hide! All removal/reassembly of the wiring, glass, body panels, rust removal, panel forming, panel welding, sealing, prepping, painting, modifications, mechanical, interior and so on went through my hands only.

ROB , this is such a lovely car , you cant help but to smile when you see it , and let me tell you this mate , you have done one heck of a job on it ......!!!! WELL DONE sell it ..?????????, who on earth would want to sell a car like this , you must be out of your mind , just keep it , even if you wont drive it that much , just keep it , its too precious to sell rob .my first ever car was a Spanish ( Seat 133 ) which is a replica of your fiat , these cars are sooo durable and fun to drive and rarely break down ... anyway check my British Beast , and tell me what you think ..

Hey Rob, thanks for the comments on my BC. That 126 is awesome. Ive always wanted to have one and the n get a job deilvering pizzas or something. Ive got another BC shell in rust free condition which Im gonna lower and also add twin carbs and eventually 15" simmonds, plus i have a good 1.8 motor in my shed waiting for it. I'll probably start that project in about a month, and Ive seen your coupe on the internet and think the yellow, spoiler and CC bonnet make it the meanest BC ive seen.

Hey man, nice car. I live in the U.S but i visit Poland ever year and it turned out that this year my uncle gave me his 20 year old Fiat 126BIS(the liquid cooled 126) and now I'm a proud owner of a little 2-cylinder 702cc Polish/Italian Car. Check mine out on my Car Domain------ Zer0skater5---thats my Car Domain Tag-Name.
