That's gonna be a little beauty when it's finished. Can't wait to see the end result. |

Me neither! It was in a bit of a state when it arrived.

Re: 1969 Fiat 500, under restoration!
Sadly it's not mine to do anything with BF. It's getting driven back down to Birmingham at the beginning of April to my brother's bit.
If anyone sees it, do wave - they'll be dead chuffed that they've been spotted |

Re: 1969 Fiat 500, under restoration!
He's lovely!
Reminds me of the one my Mum had when I was very small...best fun car I can remember 
Nice to see one being cared for all over again.
Oh...and Jay Kay has one...so must be |

Re: 1969 Fiat 500, under restoration!
You're ahead of the game...we'l all be driving them soon. Its looking superb.
My bro had an Autobianchi 500 van (a fiat 500 by any other name) back in 1970, and his mate had one as well. The mate became a traffic policeman..which was a bit rich after all the escapades they got up to with that and a Mk1 Healey Sprite Bug eye.
Do make sure we see piccies fo the finished car.

A friend of mine has bought one to refurb, hasn't started yet, he's concentrating on a camper at the moment.
