Just thought I would share as finished the 500 restoration having had many ups and downs during the 7 year rebuild.

You may have seen the car at the 2017 NEC Classic Motor show also

Nice little devil you got there with a panda engine!! You know member Yeti75 is looking to find a replacement cooling fan because he has reverse the direction of the motor so perhaps you can help him.
Since this mod is not very common maybe you can post us some pictures of your engine bay also.

Well done, keeping enthusiasm for 7 years must have been really hard, I am on the final knocking of a 3year rebuild and there have been many times I have thought about how to word the fleabay advert as a ongoing project.
Now the real fun begins

Very nice but never say your finished because there will always be something to adlust or rattling. I own a Frogeye a MK2 mini a 500 L and I am just on with a Reliant Kitten (with a 1380 Mini engine in the back ) plus my everyday car and if I wasn't retired I wouldn't have time to keep on top of just everyday maintinence of them .

Saw that big fan there and i didn't wanted to believe that you had put a steyer engine there, very rare conversion indeed.
