1972 To be finished 500L For Sale

This was to be my wife’s car, but life changes, and ours has, so it is not going to be easy but whoever is up for it, they will get a bargain.
I’ll go through the work carried out to date and there are photos to prove.
Car completely stripped to a bare shell, every nut, bolt, all wiring everything…
Any rusty panels cut off, these included the front wings, rear wings, inner wheel arches, battery panel, both outer sills, doors were junk.
Shell then went to be lightly blasted to remove all the crud so we could have clean metal to weld too. All new panels were fitted and spot welded where possible, new doors fitted to alignment of door shuts.
While this was taking shape, all the Fiat bolts, washers, various fitting etc were sent away to be cleaned and coated in a gold colour like new.
All rear suspension parts were blasted and sprayed or powder coated, front had the same treatment, as did the petrol tank and any other part that required doing, even the hand break was stripped, coated, as was the pedal assembly, all engine tinware, everything…
Buy this time my garage shelf’s we’re filling up with reconditioned parts ready to fit. Four new wheels and correct tyres were bought.
Once happy with the body it went on a pallet to be sprayed in the factory colour it was born with inside, outside and underneath in most areas as the center section still needs doing as this was sat on the pallet, but I had spray cans filled at the time so it will match.
Every part fitted so far is either a new part or an original part reconditioned, like the front king pins, steering box, etc.
As you will see in the pictures, the car is on four wheels and it’s runs free and steers, parts wise the list is long, but take it from me, I’ve not skimped on anything and apart from door cards, outside front door handles, from memory that’s all the car needs, the gearbox has been or should I say is being done as I type this.
No welding is needed, apart from the center underside, no paint is needed, has all new cables and apart from one are fitted.
For someone who is more flexible than me will make this a car better than new, and there is the reason I’m selling, I’m finding it harder and harder to complete.
Engine has had new barrels and pistons, new clutch, and the unit looks like new.
Check out the pictures and if you feel it’s something you would like to do then fine.
