Lots of little finishing touches to the Fiat 500 TwinAir in this video. Had a bit of a mare with the bodywork. Took her for an MOT and that went...kinda well...
This is probably the last video that you'll see of Tina. Got a new project coming next week that I'm very excited to show you.

OMG That makes me feel old. 1993 is "retro"? I was already in my forties in 1993. So I still consider the 1990s as "recent"

Body work looks fine. Good on you for having a go.

I know im very late to the party, but when i read that title in the playlist.. i thought all your hard work was for naught. After realising this is the last video of this series, i thought oh no, he gave up? But watching it to the end... it was a exhaust leak, that's very lucky :) I remember starting the same when working on cars, in the driveway, in the sand, 18yo with a broken BMW and not a clue what a Torx 25 was... And now i've engineswapped every classic car i've owned! (classic = late 80's - 90's) I'll see what recent uploads you made, just to see what improvements your wrenching made :)

Take the masking and paper off and spray clear coat past were you fixed the repair. Sand lightly into the good side. Hope that helps.

Hi, fairly new subscriber here. Just watched the entire series - even though i dont have a fiat and i have no intention on engine swapping a car! Really enjoyable. Dont feel disheartened on the body work side of things and dont give up either! I am restoring a Vespa at the moment (in my garden) and i have been watching videos from 'Paint Society' here on RU-vid. they show how to get decent results from rattle cans in less than ideal conditions. I suppose they have hot weather on their side... but i'll be using a heat gund to aid drying times. Keep up the good work, looking forward to whats coming next!

Driving my big Jaguar S type as a daily but looking more and more getting the twinair 500 as a daily and the Jag on weekends. There´s nothing wrong with my Jag but as a Italia nerd these are fantastic. Nice channel, I wish all the best and it´s nice to see that 500! :-) Don´t forget that the finer wetsanding needs a bit more time and lots of water otherwise some of the scratches from the coarser wetsanding shines thru when buffing.

unbelievable job that it only failed MOT on an exhaust thingy and all the rest of is was good! congrats,

Great job Nino, and certain that she’ll fly the retest. Agree with Hugh on the ‘blending’ comment, but if you’re sending her to the shop to get all body bits sorted this time then just keep that advice in the bank for now. Finally got to changing the Oil in my ‘12 500c 1.4 this morning after the sump plug crush washers finally arrived (the joys of living 6,000 miles from Blighty and having to wait 2 weeks for a 2p part (couldn’t be bothered annealing)) - simple enough job, save that all Forums said it was a paper filter located to the left of the block when it was actually right at the bottom and a proper case filter. The Oil that came out was blacker than when it originally came out of the Earth, so WELL overdue! Even on my 6.5” rhino ramps access was cramped, so feeling your pain ! Really looking forward to the Coupe, and am certain Tina will fly out the door Keep ‘em comin’ JCHK

That my cousins garage! lol... You are so close with that paint, it definitely could be wet sanded further & compounded in properly. Its such a fine line between not enough, just right & too much, especially with clearcoat, you`ll pick it up over time though! When you`re flatting or machine polishing, you have to be careful not to go through on the edges. Speaking of which, your polishing technique needs a bit of work, you need it to use it flatter & slower (maybe mask the raised bits & edges to prevent you going through & do them by hand after), & use a bit of water in a spray bottle to keep the paint cool when compounding. Also, I usually leave it 24 hours to harden before doing any wet sanding or polishing. Keep going though bud!
