Introduction

hello to the everyone on the 126 section, and let me introduce luigi, my 126 BIS. i've owned him for about 5 years now, he was a right state when i got him - literally from a stable at a statley home!. i've since rebuilt the engine, gearbox, the brakes and suspention and i am currently working on the body work - the pattern front wings and front panel are a nightmare to line up!!:bang:. my plan is to retro fit him to look like an early 70's version with the chome bumpers, and vinyl trim. hes a few photos
Please tell me you didn't scrap it!!!!
I do hope someone off the forum too Luigi under their wing and repaired him

I'm afraid so gezza :( unfortunately his condition deteriorated somewhat over the years and I ended up repairing one hole only to find an even bigger one later and with limited welding experience it just became something that I was unable to continue with so I hatched a new plan and just bought another one for half the price of fixing the old one up not to mention about 2 years worth of time and like Charlie said I just stripped it down for parts and transferred them over to the "new" one that means the new engine and brake and suspension set up too. Took a while to get it all over but I got there in the end (y)
