Fiat 126 Spaceframe (not a Nova)

[novarally]

OK, if we ignore for a moment the fact that my Nova isn't finished (although there is a lot of progress on that, update to follow soon), I couldn't resist buying this little project;













It was very cheap and came with a lot of parts, and a lot of expensive cage and spaceframe work is all (professionally) done. But clearly it needs a load of work to finish it off.

I've always had a hankering for a motorcycle-engine project, so one day I hope to get working on this. In the meantime it's a tiny little car so it can tuck in the corner of the garage.

Awesome project Colin! Will be a lot of fun when that's done.

My dad's friend used to have one of these can't remember much about it but it used to wheelie

That is very cool.

That's awesome!

That would make a superb class 7 autograss car!

It's gone that far; imo put some massive wheels on it & cut the arches a foot higher

An attack of reality means the 126 project is now for sale;

Tbh I was surprised you were tackling another project.

So was my girlfriend, my friends, my Mum etc

It was only me who thought I might ever get around to doing it......

The ideas are always romantic
