This Fiat 500 was fully disassembled and restored with genuine
replacement Fiat body panels including the nose, front & rear
fenders, wheel well arches, inner valence, battery tray, rocker
panels, floorboards, A-pillars, and taillight panels. The bodywork
was then carefully prepped and primed, and finished in a beautiful
Orange Paint. The Jolly-style body conversion eliminates the doors
and replaces the fixed roof panel with a fringed surrey canopy
along with a shortened windscreen. Other restoration items included
stainless steel trim, lights, and glass. Equipment includes chrome
bumpers, a removable storage basket, side-mounted grab rails, and
painted 12" steel wheels.
Power comes from an air-cooled 499cc inline-twin engine which was
rebuilt along with the car's 4-speed manual transaxle. The drum
brakes were also overhauled during the restoration along with new
suspension bushings and components. Roughly 90% of the car's parts
were replaced during the restoration while using many original Fiat
pieces.
