Fiat 126 BEC
Sitting here on my birthday with the biggest smile on my face - Cal has just posted these up this afternoon.
What can I say - "The dergs knerb" as they say in Ashington.
Hats off to RetroPower (again!)

 these cars are just perfect for a BEC
Wish I'd bought one years ago
A lot of works went into that so far, looking very smart

to add to its meanness its getting a macerator to sit in the front vent above the chin spoiler, the vents will throw/vent the dogs,cats & small
items straight out over the top of the car.
bit like a snow plough...

Does he know he's put the doors on back to front though?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

looking at the vents it's probably better with two motor bike radiators rather than that car one as almost half of it is blanked off due to the
vent design

That rad was one of two I specially ordered for my Ultima project. They were built to be jointly-capable of cooling a 500+bhp engine.

Cheers Paul....
The radiator core is rather special, cooling wont be an issue, from memory the core is around 4-5 inches thick. I havent spoken to Cal this week, but
the venting may or may not be finished yet for the rad. I have every faith it's been thought about & planned thoroughly.
The space to the right of the radiator will be for another radiator, a smaller bike one (suggestions) to plumb into the chargecooler system.

My last bikes rad a CBR125R would probably be the right size to fit next to the other one and quite cheap to buy

I like that a lot.
Just out of interest, what made you choose to make the arches angular as opposed to the sort of bubble MK1 Escort type ones?

My eye likes the angular block shape of the little Fiat - The Zanga Fiat 126 is the general shape I wanted with squarer arches.
I have pics of one somewhere, in white with a boxy look, and it looks very good imho
