*********UPDATE ON PAGE 6, CHECK IT OUT*******

***update 2 ***

finally the exhaust went on!!!(see pictures underneath to see it). It fit on perfectly, and is very loud. When you rev it hard and you back off the throttle it crackles, just like a real racing exhaust. Its simply brilliant, and well worth the money, if only for the laughs.

*** update ***
musical air horns purchased, and the seats are being re covered in black pleather (plastic leather) cos its not worth the money for the real thing

This is my Fiat 126 - otherwise known as a Niki 650. i got it for free from a woman up the street, and i am going to respray it, and im going to fix everything up, so that it will be a good little car.

the engine is only a 650cc, 0.65 litre, so its not very powerful, but it only weighs 600 kilograms, so it doesnt need anything huge. it only has 83000 k's (51875 miles) on the clock. the only things that need to be fixed, the brakes (easy job), the front passenger side quarter panel (which will be done when i get it re-sprayed) and the shockers. Apart from that the car is in good condition (if you look past the paint and interior) the plan is to have everything fixed and ready by easter.
I am going to have the current rims sand blasted and painted, they will have to do, until i get the rims that i want (see bottom of page)
here are just a few pictures to start with, ill put more pictures up, as i fix things.

these pictures were taken on the night that i got the car home, so it was still dirty, and full of bird crap.

That's pretty cool, bought one a while back for $50, actually the guy told me I could have it, then I just bought him a carton of beer... It's still on Grootte Island, and I'm paying $800 to get it to Darwin, then I'm popping a 13B rotary in there... Buy yours looks pretty damn nice. Good job.
