Wreckmasters 1960 Nuova 500

I guess many of you have seen my 2008 Fiat 500 1,2 pop in Blu m`ama no M`ama , the car I went to Italia and two Cinquecentisti meetings with! Well I still have my 500, but I have also bought a 1960 500N! When I bought the car it was red and had a rather poor paintjob, so this spring I sent the car away for a light restoration! The rust was welded and it was sanded down and painted in blu m`ama no m`ama just as my every day car! Still some jobs to do, but it is getting there and the plan is to go to the big 500 meeting in Heidkate, just outside of Kiel, Germany in late July:)

here are some pictures of how it was and how it is now. Not finished assembled yet, but it is getting there:wub: The wheels are beeing painted cream white in a few days :fico:

yes it is :) Will look good together with my modern 500 in the same color ;)

Beautiful!! Love them..i always dreamed a 1960's one like mine!

but..i dont understand : that beautiful 500 N is red or blue ???

@karateducati - quando l'ha comprata era rossa, ma tutta rovinata e arrugginita, quando l'ha fatta restaurare ha cambiato colore e ora è blu come la sua nuova. ;)
@wreckmaster - awesome!! You did a great job!! :D Did you do it firsthand?

Thanks guys :)

The car is blue now, was red before :)

I bought it red a year ago, but it had a rather poor paintjob, done from a non professional and it was done outside instead of in a paintbox :( it also had some rust in the floor and inner fenders, so when I sold my 126 a month ago I decided to use those money on a light restoration :) So it is all done at a garage: welding, sanding, painting by a proffesional :) Now there is only the wheels left, which are going to become cream colored and some assembly left ( waiting for some parts from Germany )

it s loving !!!!!!!

I think my new and my old 500 will look great together :) A few pics of my modern car, which has driven the trip Norway-Italia-Norway twice :)

Looks like Kiel is going without me this year :( It is the last weekend in July and I am going to Sardinia in early August! I cant afford to go both places I am afraid! But there is a 500 meeting in Hannover i september which I hope I can afford to attend :) Alltough, if I do, it will be with my modern 500 :) I will try to find a link to both meetings Deltafabri :)

Here is the link Deltafabri :)
