Great entertainment, obviously you were born to be a motor trader and repairer. You remind me so much of a garage that I used for more than 45 years. Walk in the garage, you don’t know who the boss is, because he is wearing overalls and gets his hands dirty. Best wishes, will keep watching your next projects.

Oh my god... this is my old car!! It was stolen in June 2019, found by police in August but I had already got money from insurance so I let it go. The reason the drivers seat is so dirty is because someone tried to break in to it at the end of 2018 and they had messed up the door panel so lots of rain came in for 6 months, hence the mould - I got it fixed a month before it was stolen. Also the chain isn’t worth anything lol, it’s just a sausage dog necklace from ASOS. And just to say, this is an absolutely shit car! I had so many issues with it I was very glad to see it gone, good luck to the next owner.

I do watch the main US salvage repair channels but they are heavily sponsored and although great to see supercars being worked on, I do want to see the more run of the mill stuff like I work on - and of course in the UK! I dont think i'll be buying much more from Copart now due to their increasing fees....... Good luck and keep it up!

That steering wheel actually looks nicer than the one's I have seen in 500s with half that mileage. Yes, it was dirty, but dirty can be washed off. Also there wasn't much rust, which is another plus. For those dissing it because it's a Diesel, that's actually the reason you can still get quite a few good years of usage out of it. A 500 petrol engine with that much use is usually quite shot.

I love these little cars. Fiat did such a great job re-creating the 500. And I continuously think it's funny that they had a 500cc engine in the original. My mum drove one for a while 50+ years ago. But that was then, this is now, and they are a quality car. What a bargain though!
