This is a thread about my 500, which I bought in 1993. It had more rust than I anticipated, so it lingered in the garden unattended until mid 2015 when Geoff (1500/500) convinced me it could be registered with a minimum of effort. Well, it will take more than that but it is do-able.
The plan is to cut out the rust in the floor and weld in new, stick the engine back in (Geoff has been driving it around for 2 years in his 500) and then use it as is lichen and all. As time permits I might chip away at the rest of the car... or not (I do have 2 small kids).
