- This new project was an absolute bargain, but was it? Bit of a shock coming, but I think it was still a good buy. Cat N 14 plate sport.

The latest video got accidentally deleted while doing some housekeeping on old videos that had been uploaded but then edited. Unfortunately this isn’t reversible so the latest video is gone.
Hi Paul
I have 2 500's and an abarth, i have watched and followed your channal for a while and taken alot of info from your videos to fix and mod my cars.
I have a sport that i have modified. So i have lots of parts from the sport you can have.
I saw the EHR and the first thing that came to mind was Elizabeth after the late queen, so maybe Lizzy? Anyway looks like a good project for you.
About those seat backs, have actually carpeted the rear of my old rear seats with the sort of carpet you get to cover speaker boxes. Spray adhesive and can tuck it in. Looks factory and no more scrapes/rust.
That might be an option actually. Will look much nicer even if they were perfect.
Certainly would cover all manner of sins @@Love500
Hi Paul
£1200 will be a smart car rdd suits the car I would fi two hooks in your garage floor at one dnd so you could just screw them in When required 😊
Phil in stoke
I did buy something some time ago but never got around to fitting it. I’ll have to resin them into the floor I think.
Name it Rusty !
Try Silverlake for your parts
Brave man Paul, we had one with a bent chassis leg. It took forever to heat and bend ......I used some hard wood cut down to the internal profile.we only just ligned it up...a lot of work.Good luck.
Yeah, I won't really know until the front is off how bad it is.
I've been looking for front bumper grill 15 plate pre facelift grill hard to find
Impossible. Fiat dealer is the only option really.
Your new project gets a score of 823 out of 999 on Vehicle Score
Money says that you will need to replace those hinges.
Nahhhh I don’t think so.
Paul, please dont attach to the side of your house. The strength of a wall is compressive strength ie top to bottom/vertical. They do not have great lateral strength. And your house certainly hasnt had 69 horses pulling at the side of it.
i think youll be lucky to pull that out without a dozer, think that part is made of high strength steel.
I’ve seen other people do it like that. Only time will tell.
But hopefully your find a complete bumper, try club italia 500 and breakers aswell !
Ciao un altro bel progetto 👏
Try Kent auto they have lots off 500 keep up the good work love your show 👍👍🍺
Been out with a few 😂😂😂😂
Apart from being filthy. Looks like a fairly decent car, I do like the sports
Yeah me too, especially the facelift.
Showing as Cat N on Autotrader although as you said should definitely have been Cat S. You'll be wasting your time trying to straighten that chassis leg, even with a jig you won't reinstate the crumple zone properly. If there is a factory join it should be replaced and welded there to do a proper job of it. Looks like they used it to carry wet rubbish or dogs kept peeing in the back going by state of that seat back. Good luck with it 👍
I’ve seen others do it perfectly well the same as I intend to, so we’ll see. Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as it looks.
the rust is of dogs been wet and shaking it off in back. parcel shelf gets taking out mine in loft.
Ps looked up the price on the sold prices section of Copart. No surprises. Simply stated “ABSOLUTE BARGAIN!” in GBP. 😅
Project Rossi. After the italian valentino rossi the sports star, it also means "red haired"
The videos are all over the place and impossible to follow..
Nobody else seems to have a problem? Don’t really understand what you mean.
Have you noticed copart are not taking off the loading charge of £40 plus vat if they deliver.
Yes I checked my latest invoices and you’re right.
Was totally fine with this one until I got a look at the leg
Omg that's a challenge for you
I'd like to see how you deal with it
And wish you luck matey
I think it’ll be fine.
I think I would get the leg done by a professional. Car does have quite a lot wrong when you start to look at it. Would probably do with a timing belt as well .not your best purchase. 👍👍
I actually forgot to look at the cambelt which of course will be done if it hasn't already. I've had worse.
Why has the latest video of this disappeared?
I accidentally deleted it when removing some old videos.
@love500 Great video as normal 🙂. as a side note, do you happen to have any broken Fiat 500 DRL's that I would be able to get the bulb holder out of? I need 2off for my daughters car and can't find any anywhere and really don't want to have to buy 2off new complete lights. Very annoying. Thank you in advance, Andy
I’ve sold some in the past on eBay but none at present.
👍 great one
It's not at the moment, but hopefully it will be.
Leg dosnt look too bad but you will get a better idea once the fronts off. If its under £900 plus fees then it looks a bargain, good there is no airbag damage .
Absolute barrrrrrrrgain. I don’t think it’s too bad. I reckon some heat, a scaffold pole and a hammer and some patience and it’ll work.
@@Love500 My thoughts too just dont attach the porta power pulling ram to the house wall .It will pull itself out and the bricks with it. Sink a section of rsj in your garage floor then its a winner .
Bumper will be a mission only made that one for 2 years took me a while to get one eventually got one complete for £250
I've got one now, needs a bit of work, but it's in colour.
Block of wood and a scissors jack or small bottle jack just an idea
Nice motor though I'm looking into doing a couple crash cars soon will definitely be doing a 500
Get your scaff pole from across the road, or have they finished? Sod's law if they have.
Wondered why i was getting tampax ads during this, then you found em, they're targeting you now 😂
£700 I reckon a lot will have been scared off, good luck Paul 👍👍
Bloody scaffolding came down the week before. Typical.
shame about the leg , but im looking forward to when you start work on it
Me too.
i think around 950 project tammy
Project Tammy? (tampons) 😂. £1250 I reckon. Also, I know I’ve asked this a couple of times- but could you briefly show the earth strap replacement on the is one? Mine has the vertical ECU and it looks different to the other videos you’ve done. Top man 👍
Next Sundays video I do it on the Colour Therapy. It's exactly the same except you have to disconnect the engine ECU as its bolted to the battery tray. When I do it on this one, I'll specifically film it.
@@Love500 thank you. Keep up the good work - love it.
@@Love500just watched the newest video. Do I win for the closest guess?? 😂
£850?!
Hi Paul, Mt guess is £800 plus fees?
£750 + fees. 👍
£650 plus fees
Gotta be project bargain, lol cheap as chips
£1000 with fees?
£575
£825 😊
Where the Dickens have you been John Paul George Ringo? Good to have you back and miss the biweekly videos! Good luck with the Project “ABSOLUTE BARGAINl aka Abi! 😂😂
I've not been anywhere. I'm only doing Sunday videos now apart from the occasional Wednesday ones, but I've been here. Sunday videos are uploaded every week.
Good luck Paul. Car looks great and I would definitely consider buying it when it’s finished. Yes I know “join the queue”😂.
Hope all goes well with this one Paul…the top centre grill is £59 from Fiat..👍🏻
I guess £1200. Did I win the car then? You did say nearest guess wins.
Nice try
