Remedial repairs to our 1970 Fiat 500

Parts have arrived for our 1970 Fiat 500 so we can now continue on with the repairs.

We’ve taped up the cut wiring in the engine bay and neaten the whole area.

Adjusted the pedal heights via the stop on the clutch pedal and added a small, rubber buffer to each pedal stop.

The grommet has been refitted grommet on fuel pipe in the engine bay.

Next up, Jon has cut a piece of MDF and covered it in sticky back foam to fit behind the battery. This has helped to secure into position.

Adjusted the nearside door striker, removed the front wheels.

Remove nearside track rod. Strip and fit new track rods. We’ve found the ball pins are much smaller so won’t fit so we’ve had to leave until the correct ones arrive.

Strip and fit new front wheel bearings.
