Ok ok how do I get to post pics. And were did you find that one.

 

[Steven]

Stu, either upload them to your gallery on this site or to a folder on the club site and use image tags. Or email them to me and I'll get them up for you.

Hi Stuartl,

Believe we've spoke briefly on the fmc(GB) site.Just sold my old palio to neil (walshy66) at the weekend. After being in his old sport,i'd love to own one.Nigel's(new owner) now put the standard wheels back on since this pic.

A few pics of the palio for everyones viewing pleasure too.

Only sold the car due to another lucky 131 find!

 

[Stuartl]

Hiya. yes Neil was on the phone to me as soon as he got it home. He's well chuffed with it.
I hope at some stage to go for a 131 Sport but it'll be a while as I have a few other bits to get going first. If I get the GTV finished and away I'll be looking for a 131.
Nice pics of the cars.

. If I get the GTV finished and away I'll be looking for a 131.

Or a nice Cinquecento Sport in Black......

OK rather than run around posting pics of my 127's restoration all over the place I have started a new page on my site dedicated to the restoration. All being well I will update the page with pics and info as I go along.
I hope to that the restoration will be of help to others planning to restore a 127.

www.maranellohouse.bravehost.com look for the "Fiat 127 Sport restoration" link on the green line.

I have also started a thread on the message forum of the site for people to comment on the restoration or drop me some tips on work you may have done on a 127. If it helps me I'm sure it will help others.

Oh and if you do visit the site please say hello in the guestbook.

Ta, Stu

Just back from Spain. Seen a lovely 127 in beige being driven around by a very pretty young Spanish Girl. It was in perfect condition. I would say it was around 78/79.

Hi Stuart
Was your 127 originally silver?
I was just wondering why it`s a different colour in the engine bay?

By the time yer man is finished with it you'll never know. Sure look at the Ferrari restoration on Stu's site. He changed it from silver to red and the finish is immaculate, it looks like it came from the factory as a red car!

 

[Stuartl]

Hmm checking up on my details,

Yes it was Silver but the last owner partially painted it orange and went to all the trouble of getting all the interior etc from an orange car. My first Fiat was an orange 127 Sport so it will be redone orange. Apart from that it will be almost original with just a couple of mobs for modern day use.

[Stuartl]

Hi Gigi. Good to see you are another 127 fan. Yes please do get the updates flying about your car when you start restoring it. And why don't you stick a picture of it up on here.
I know my car is a MK2 but if I can be of any help just drop over to my site and we can have a chat on all things 127.
