Seems like easy to work on those little 500's. Plenty of them on the road and loads of cheap spare parts and repair kits around. I like these kind of video's, no screaming, no overreacting, no clickbate and the list goes on. You were just a bit adventurous buying a new (expensive) battery just before passing mot.
Yeh totally agree. And yes I was a bit with the battery. Couldn’t find one that was cheaper. 😂
exciting stuff!
Good job it didnt fail on front arms
I presume that would be bad! 😂
Glad it passed it’s MOT
Yes. Me too! Very surprised.
Great work! I wonder if it would be easier to get a matching stripe for the drivers door than removing the one on the donor door?
I did think that. But I think we are going black with the next one.
Nice job mate would of been better to solder wires in tho in my view.😊
Yeh, defo agree. Would last longer for sure. Thanks
great informative video, would you make a video related how to source a cheap car to work on ? As I am a student of light vehicle maintanence.
Yeh thats the problem i may find with another one. Stumbled across this one. I may look at Copart.
Next time you need to clean your brake discs. Just jack the car up on one side and start it up and put it in first gear. Then just lightly apply the brakes and release the clutch at the same time and it will clean the rust off. Then after just use brake cleaner to remove all the dust. Just put a cam belt kit on it and you’ll probably get around £1700 for that no problem. Nice to see somebody enjoying driveway mechanics.
Great idea, thanks :)
Cam belt this weekend. Scary! Never done anything like it before.
@@Watchstudo Just take your time and be careful with it. As you go on you will definitely get more confidence
I don't know why later fiat 500s rust so badly, I have a 22 year old punto in excellent condition, and a 1994fiat cinquecento no rust any were , and a1993 uno Diesel excellent floor doors nothing rotted away
To be fair, this isnt too bad underneath. :)
I had a fiat panda with the same drive train and the head gasket started leaking at 56k miles, 8.5 years old car... i noticed i had to top up the coolant every few days, i did the liquid test and it turned green instantly..... replacing the head gasket and getting the head resurfaced was quoted at 1.6k pounds .... it was serviced every single year and no expense was spared, had its timing belt and pump changed with genuine parts too.
Traded it for a dacia sandero, never buying fiat again.
Oh no! Thats a shame.
ROUGH
Very!
