Jonn has been investigating why the rear number plate light on our 1963 Fiat 500 was not working. He found that a small wire had been twisted around a screw as an earth. Jonn removed the light, made an earth wire, and attached it to the bulb holder.
Once everything was refitted, it all worked perfectly.

Jonn has been stripping the engine of our 1963 Fiat 500.
When looking to fit a new starter motor, Jonn found that a suspected missing bolt was actually only half missing! The remainder of the bolt had broken off in the block.
He went on to strip the engine – removing the head and barrels, studs, sump, and pistons.
The crank journals and big ends were checked before Jonn went on to remove the flywheel, which he thoroughly cleaned in the degreasing tank.

A good friend of ours came to see us at the workshop this morning and this is what they arrived in – a 1963 Fiat 500 Transformable!
Finished in Fiat Celeste Chiaro 461 (or light sky blue if you don’t want to be technical) this is one stunning classic and it certainly caught the attention of everyone in the workshop.
As a side note…this is actually Molly’s dream classic!
