yep funny is an understatment lol , its not a top coat just a build up coat , it seams as if the paint is going like a rainbow , changing colour , just as well its a build up coat owen nw (n)
 
I suppose I meant "colour-coat". I'm sure you'll get it under control. I thought you'd be going for that wacky orange or lime green. Those colours certainly make the 126 stand out. :)
How much paint does it take you to cover the Fiat? What sort of paint are you using?

this might sound stupid but can some one tell me what model my 500 is is n f l as i dont no DOH , i need side indicators front ones to complete any one have this stuff spare that they would sell swap owen nw
 
That's an "F" Owen.
Do you need the small side repeaters?
If so I have two, brand new going free. I wasn't impressed with the quality being a bit of an originality nut. But I used the push fit bulb innards on my old ones. You would surely make something fit. If you want them PM me your address...no charge.
 
Looks like a F Owen as it has the round speedo hole in the dash. As for indicators you can get virtually everything for these cars from parts suppliers in Europe, they tend to be about a third of the price cheaper than UK suppliers.

I don't know what the delivery time will be like to Ireland but I have got parts in a couple of days from Holland and Germany plus the delivery charge is pretty much what it would be from a UK supplier.

Well done Owen, that's a great turn around you have achieved from a car that was destined for the scrap yard. Another one saved and by the look of it you have enjoyed it!
What are you doing with the interior?
