Hi.Just joined forum as I am rebuilding a 72 500 L.Apart from the shell literally everything came in cardboard boxes.I have a Frogeye Sprite and a MK2 Mini which I rebuilt down to the last nut and bolt.The Fiat is completely different ,(apart from using metric tools and not imperial ) After cleaning and painting all running gear it was a new thing to me using shims to set up suspension.I scraped all the underseal off the shell and finished with a product called Raptor.It is a two pack underseal which you can add your own tint to ,So is now finished in Fiat 233 Blanco.I have just changed all terminals
on the loom and have labelled them for respective positions.Tyres came today so may get body on its feet .I was surprised how heavy the shell was .When carrying my Mini shell it only took two people but the Fiat took four.If somebody could tell me where the loom is placed in the shell I would be grateful.I will post some pics as soon as I find my patch lead.Thanks PS.its RHD
