Great show.
Love watching car repair shows with good personable mechanics.
Used to watch shows like this with my dad (RIP) when I was young lad.
I was given a new Fiat 126 for my 21st in 1978 - the cost was £1001. It was dove grey and the starter was a lever thing between the front seats and the choke immediately beside it. No frills, air cooled and noisy as hell. I loved it. I didn't think about safety then but it was such a fun wee thing.
Thanks to whom ever puts these episode on youtbute for those who can't afford pay TV (I live overseas)
Agreed
Day 1 take the waterpump off, day 2 take 1 seal out... Day 5 we have a lot to do !!!! 😂
Too busy talking
@chriswintle253😂8
Yea, I was just wincing at the line "the workshop where the days never end" as these two work as little as I have ever seen a couple of restorers work. They always quit early in the day and seem to start in the middle.
@@superbmediacontentcreator They have to wait for parts to arrive. They explained that in the video.
I was overjoyed, when you told him to take his feet off the furniture well done sir. 👈👺👀👍
These two guys always make me smile - great fun show
Gary is a ball of fire 😂
Trimmer Guy looked shy and nervous probably a guy like me, who feels safer just being around family and loves working alone. I hate working with others as always ends in some stupid argument lol :D
Classic introvert. He’s in heaven when he’s in his workshop alone with his trim.
@@lasersailor6684 I know how he feels. I love being alone when I get back home from work 😁
Yes the TG doesn't want to socialise, just be left alone with his trim and a cup of tea maybe.
@@lasersailor6684 the trimmer guy is probably been STITCHED UP too many times lol
@@JustCallMeHorseA Man after my own heart😊
I`ve had 3 126`s, they have the highest smiles-per-hp of any other car I can think of, & they are one of the few cars of the 90`s that are worth significantly more now, than they were were new (£2400 new in the early 90`s), which is pretty impressive, & no one would have predicted that 20 years ago!
I would love a 126, my best friend had one as her first car back in the 90's, she had a 1980 652cc air cooled model in blue with a blue/grey interior, I loved it although it was a bugger to start in the winter. I like little cars, I drive a 2011 Smart for two
I bought mine for £399 (I think), it got me around. I'd like anouther, and the Biz has a boot, but 4k? Surely you can et a much better car for that money, although I guess a better car would have higher insurance costs.
Mile Brewer take note............this is what you call CHARISMA
I loved my 126 from the starting lever to the brake fade it ended up with an abarth engine disc brakes and a peppermint green paint job I had great fun in that car .
We love All the Flippin Bangers. We have sat here and basically in 2 months watched every show I Could find for my Husband on Flippin Bangers. Im just now going through all the shows giving them some LOVE.
❤❤God Bless
This is like "Right, Said Fred!" without pianos...
Brilliant! The guys seem to have gotten it spot on this season, making money but also enjoying it too! Loving this season. Always wanted a 126, but I reckon my wife would kill me if another Fiat was to find its way into my garage! 😅
How many and which do you have
Rear motor from a Mitsubishi PHEV(60+hp) half a leaf Battery about 30kw, deep dish minilite wheels-arches... would be a laugh around tight lanes towns... :)
The seller was gorgeous 😍
brilliant work boys stumbled onto you lot from the orion and i cant stop watching you pair have got a right charm
Great work. If you stayed back instead of leaving while the suns up you would get it done so much faster
I know these guys have auto mechanic skills, but the stitching of the seats is over the top. Beautiful job.
Guys this version of Fiat 126 is called BIS - is a upgrade version of stock 126 it has biger engine -700CC ( 650 in regular) Engine is liquid cooling (air cooled in reg.)and laing flat, diffrent steering rack, 13"wheels (12" reg) and rear trunk, not only a engine compartment like in regular one:) ( trunk in regular is only on front) This engine is transfered for his succesor fiat chinquacento.
This is far better than wheeled dealers. It’s a change from Mike brewer boasting about himself. And it’s all about me me me me ( him ) Ed China is ok. But you lads seem honest and down to earth. Well done 👍
Trimmer: "What year is the car?". Mechanic: "I think it's early 1980s". Say what? Nowhere near. How can you be a car mechanic and not know when a J reg is from?
@@jeanclaudecollin3056J reg 1992 ...the clues in the registration mark
They know, but for the show it must be dramatic
@@Morzsaszar Getting a car's year wrong isn't dramatic, though
@@PROPHETS-BAINJ reg August 1991 to july 1992 so could also be a 1991
His mind wasn't in the game. He was trying to forget that Gary told him where he'd hidden the bodies when they were off camera a few minutes prior.
The lady completely out classed them.
She played by the playbook aka scenario.
In Poland the Polish Polski Fiat version is/was called the 'Maluch' (small) and there are still quite a few about. They make good town cars, are OK in the snow...have good ground clearance and can deal with bad roads. If you like fun off road have a look at the Steyr Haflinger military 4x4 version of this car....you may be amazed.
Me thinky the Steyr Haflinger has nothing to do with Fiat/Polski ... It was developed and made for the Swiss & Austrian Armies.
Farmers who worked in the mountains also bought them to be used on mountain farms.
Me thinky your English not so good....get someone English to read it to you. You misunderstood. I have owned Pinzgauer...I own Unimog......I see Maluch every day. But I can tell you that a Haflinger engine will fit in Maluch..it is the same Fiat unit only the haflinger is larger capacity and better made.
@@Pinzpilot101 Me thinky YOUR English should have said that in the first place because a Steyr Haflinger has NOTHING to do with a Fiat apart from the engine then.
ALL the gearing suspension, chassis is specific to the Haflinger. NOTHING to do with Fiat.
Me thinky you do not express yourself correctly. LOL.
Cheers mate.
Enjoy polluting Nature do you ?
What is the consumption of a Unimog ?
Pinzgauer = same thing. A good army vehicle, but if you are using them for personal hobby all you are doing is polluting the beautiful nature you so revere.
Ever thought about that ?
Ciao.
@@user-oe1mb9hu9i A Steyr Puch 650 is a Fiat 500 with a 650cc Steyr Puch engine.
Foam back on the headliner is a no go. It will get moist and moist to long so that the roof will actually get heavily rusty!
The original 126 from Italy came with a headliner with room for air between the liner and the roof to keep it breathing.
Seat well done. But there are new covers on the market. Or just swap the seats.
Normally you take out the engine and the gearbox all at ones. The rubbers of the axle/gearbox are most likely leaking oil too. That's a common point to check and change.
Block and head are both aluminium so one may wonder why the coolant was that rusty (?). My guess is that there was some oil deposits in the coolant.
All that sanding of the rims. Absolutely not necessary. You could have used a paint remover of just sand blasted it. Then some powder coating would do a proper job here. Or just buy another set.
Have not seen you checking the steering, brakes, brake fluid, oil change and so many more to be done before selling it for 3800 P/Sterling.
Just stumbled across this and Brought back memories. I went to Gibraltar in 1978, and hired one of these out for the week. One day, we decided to take a trip up the rock, got around half way up, and now in first gear, and wasn't getting anywhere. Foot hard on the brakes, and sliding back, rested against a wall, with a 500 foot drop below us. Somehow, managed to spin it round and make our way back down, Scary stuff 😂😂
Nice job guys, and the upholsterer looks frightened to death lol
He's an introvert, that's all.
Lol, they should learn to walk away and believe me she didn't have any tears in her eyes lol
If the would have walked away, they wouldn’t have made 2k profit😂
@shsh-he5qg I've bought and sold more vehicles than you've had hot dinners. I've walked many times and either been called back or have been telephoned after.
By the way, they didn't make £2k profit.
@@slickmouse yeah sure you have big man 🤣
They did the work themselves ! So even if they paid themselves 200 quid each a day ! That’s 1k profit !
But why don’t you show us your many deals you have made millions on ! I’m sure people would be dying to see such a genius like you showing everyone how it’s done
@@shsh-he5qgyou know its scripted yeah😂
@@PROPHETS-BAIN what’s scripted ? How much they paid for a car, how much they spent and how much they sold it for ? 🤣
I have been buying and selling cars on the side for over 25 years, if you have a bit of knowledge and contacts, you can def make profit from cars without bs… sometimes you can buy a car and that’s finished and make more from selling just the catalytic converter ! And then scrapping the car
Thank you for uploading
Brilliant as usual 👍👍
Thank you for doing it 🇬🇧
I had a 1959 Fiat 600D back in the mid 1960s. Fun little car. It had a tiny 4-cylinder engine, and was very quirky indeed. Glad to see your fix-up on the 126.
Love the humour ! .... In my family we have had 500, 850, 125 from the late 60s.
Another great video. Job well done
If the buyer see this video, I'm sure he will get a case of buyer remorse.
Love this show, sincerely thank you very much for uploading this episode. Happy new year to all, shout out from south Australia 🇦🇺
Good to hear. Are there not many car shows like this down under? Here in England, I watched Outback Car Hunters. I liked the Aussie humour, and the scenery but it lacked details on the restos. I also learnt that you say 'How you going?', which is like our 'you alright?' But never demands a response! 😂
hello i m from for poland and this car motorized our country, they called it the little one
Brilliant 😊
What great "experts"... mounted the front tires in the opposite direction of movement. Well done...
Need to put the tyres on the right side too lol
Fills the gap, thanks for uploading! I haven't seen season 3. I had a car like this in 1986, I loved it. The circuit breaker could be set monthly. Until now, I didn't know that there was a right-hand drive and, most importantly, a water-cooled engine? The last time I was home, I didn't see a single one. (HU)
Love it when I was a kid my Dad had one we went on holiday in it 2 adults 3 kids and a roof rack happy days
I use to have a fiat panda and i koved it back in the day it had proper alloy wheels and stuff so well done chaps they are a lot of fun.
It’s an early 90s. At the trimmers you said it’s an early 80s
Early 80s design. Early 90s production.
Cracking set of bumming pulls mate 😂
I love the fact Phil from time teams side-burns appear regularly in this show. 😅
It's a so called BIS, really sought after in Poland...
Great content
Love the mis-matched tyres... Wouldn't have got a RWC (MOT) that you need for a sale here in Oz...
Thank you very much! I have been looking for these for two years ;-)
Me too
tap a hole for m4 instead of getting a m3 off from literally anything. nice, nice.
Nice work fellas! as a 51 yr old former MK1 Panda owner, I get this!
With the rear seat that tilts back a 45 deg? Handy for getting an old computer monitor home. Say one thing about FIAT, they know how to make a small car.
Bravo pour vos émissions toujours un plaisir a vous regardez a restaurer des voitures. Plus de vidéo de restauration de véhicules an vous remerciant bravo cristian de Paris France ❤😂
Thank you for uploading. Will you be uploading all series 3? 😊👍
in Serbia, this car is named "PEGLICA" - a small iron heather :)
I used to see a beige one of those in Suffolk county New York along the eastbound side of the Sunrise Highway ( NY highway 27.)
That poor trimmer looked like he was rather uncomfortable bless him
Looks like an extra from Hot Fuzz
Looks like someone told him Will was a Mafia hitman.
And TED from the fast show turns up as a guest star upholsterer
Trimmer looking at him ,like he lives under a rock
This was my first car but mine was sky blue! Mine was the air cooled version and my goodness it was terrible. However, it was also freedom 😀
Cool
When are you getting a ramp fellas, your both getting to old to keep playing on the floor 😂
I would love to play wolverine at poker
In Croatia it's called "Peglica"
Where did the roof panel go?
Mini cooper next,please ✌️
Quality job painting the wheels, valves and valve caps!
Continuity is out the window if you want us to believe the "time line" of what happened in those "5" days but a good fun series.
So some people don't like these guys. TUFF Ifind, these videos are enjoyable and useful and educational to the novices if you're jealous of their skills dont watch or is it because you can't put a computer in that tells you the fault 😅😅😅 nothing better than skilled mechanical engineers
my first car fiat 126 gave 100 quid for it full service history one owner since new was fun little thing
Ginger says...it's going to be hard backing the twailer up.
Fantastic you work so well together it's a pleasure to watch you. Wail have ing a cup of tea 😂😂 .you have only one chance to make a first Impression. And you have just found a new pal.keep it up please.
First thing I always do, take the doors, boot and bonnet off, stick it three-four feet in the air on chopped down railway sleepers, and take the wheels off. It's ready then to be attacked from all directions. (classic Minis)
Perhaps next series should benefit from the per of extraordinary charismatic but superbly skilled mechanic looking for eccentric cars, needing restoration by these two very skilful & resourceful individual working in equal partnership performing by enlarge in house repair to an tasteful and amazing standard. May even barns finds or disregarded cars bought at a reasonable price restored to high standard without any time or cost restriction, but prove despite the difficulties they could turn an incredible profit in fact clever in all aspect of purchase & repair ans sales of all type of vehicle and caravan or even buses
Definitely need to get a range of spare nuts and bolts!
What we need is a sand blaster.
She said 1200 he replied 1500 wtf 😂 😂 😂
pressure washer for removing anything peeling.
Recommission this show, it's excellent!
More please
Sorry am I the only one that noticed they paid 1,500 when she said 1,200 1st 😂😂
I think when she said “starting price” that was the clue that she was putting the car up for auction so they stopped her doing that by offering her £1500.
goddamn it! I want a 126 BIS
❤
I LIVED IN 1980 GB I AM VERY IMPRESS YOU ARE NOT SELLING LIKE DELLBOY POLISH AND SELL, KEPP UP TO GOOD WORK
Forget gleaming showrooms, Uncle Rusty traded in chrome for rust. His chariot collection out rivaled the local dealer, a motley crew from Hillmans to Rovers, each one a death trap on wheels guaranteed to fail every MOT with flying rust colours. But hey, a few hundred quid bought him more laughs (and near misses) than a shiny Audi ever could. New cars? Bah! Bangers were his lifeblood, his rolling rebellion against conformity.
Mom swore he moonlighted as a cop, hiding from the "bad guys" behind clouds of exhaust and crumpled fenders. And she might be right, considering he regularly forgot which Frankenstein on wheels he'd parked in the lot. Remember the Fiat 126? Aunt XXL squeezed into it for two weeks, transforming it into a rolling sardine can for one.
Gone but not forgotten, Uncle Rusty's spirit probably haunts some celestial junkyard, eyes peeled for his next rusty dream. Rest in peace, you glorious petrol-fueled eccentric. You may have loved your death traps, but we loved your optimistic outlook!
Lay off the AI.
B REGISTRATION is 1964, 65 Is C, 66 is D, J is 1972. 😊 i know because my mini van was a 1964 and B REGISTRATION. 🎉
Brilliant!! Starting price 1200. How about 1000? How about 1500 plus pictures 😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I pity people who buy FIATS. I found that out many years ago....and I don't stand alone!
Stood at a parts counter in a dealership and a guy was complaining about the cr*p headlights in his new Fiat. The service manager explained that he needed to go to Halfords and buy halogen bulbs! Poor bloke hadn't realised it was a kit car.
I had an air-cooled Fiat 126 for about 4 years. It was quite fun, I guess. But despite dripping oil constantly and burning through head gaskets and king pins, I'd have another for a laugh. I once saw a super-rare black and silver convertible in Cambridge.
Think you need to purchase a mini sand blaster lol
They've put front right tyre wrong direction...
Does Fiat 126 come with headliner from factory? From the look of it, it didn't.
It did. If memory serves me right the headliner on mine was a preformed felted, one=piece panel.
Tell you what, a week cuppa is a deal breaker!
To save everyone time, as of 12-Jan-2024 J571 KTJ is SORN, expired MOT 1-Jun-2022.
The car never actually sold on the show and further issues arose so was underwritten by the production company
Não sei quem se interessa por vídeos assim, nos brasileiros gostamos de vídeos de reforma geral de veículos antigos , pouco papo e mais ação .
Maluch..The Polish 126.
The first Italian 126 did not have a roofline
To much tea boys
Find a decent mk 1 mr2 and send it over to me in Northern Ireland.🍻👍
Maluch is pronounced /'ma-lookh/, with the stress on the first syllable.
The AI subtitles in this are hilarious!
