Title: Last bit needed!!!
Post by: moo on August 09, 2006, 04:37:24 PM

Hi all, my 500 is sooooo close to getting back on the road after 23 years of sitting idle. Apart from the last of the tinkering getting elctrics sorted for the MOT, there is only one last bit I need.

Annoyingly its the striker plate for the sunroof :roll: , thankfully not needed for MOT so I could still go on registering her over here but not so good when the weather has a bad day ( or someone gets too nosey).
So, if anyone on here has a spare (NOT the catch, the bit that it latches onto) and they could be bribed into letting it go to a worthy cause please let me know :D
Cheers,
Moo

 :D  There she is, second post down! A fair bit more has been done since then, and now she's finally ready for the MOT (and a big thanks to Cars, as of this morning she is now complete :D  :D  :D )

Im in a bit of a rush at the mo, got a wedding to attend in half an hour, then another tomorrow :shock:  then away in Cornwall for a week, but when I get back I'll take some up to date pics and stick them up :P
Cheers,
Moo

Looks nice, love the colour. Are the mirrors original? They look great.

I don't know much (well anything) about 500s.

Cheers guys, theres some more photos of the whole journey at http://www.byphotos.com/album/thumbnails.html?c_album=3558757
We thought it was just going to be a quick tart up at first, but I quickly found more and more to keep me out of mischief for a while :shock:  :shock:  :lol:
Somewhere we've got a load more photos saved on a disc, when I find that I'll stick them up too :smt003
