Re: 1978 Fiat 900T campervan (restoration thread)...

Well i am still waiting for parts but i now have a mate off Retro-Rides who is helping out with the restoration , he had offered me a lend of a car battery so i could test the lights etc, so last Sunday (19th October) he popped along in his 1979 Triumph Dolomite 1500 and not only lent me the battery, but also helped me try and start the engine, and after 4 hours of tinkering, the campervan is running very nicely indeed, plus all the lights work too

Hi There.
I too have just had my fiat 900e pandora delivered and sort of starting it. The roof seems to be the main niggly issue. I dont really know much about them but fell in love, as you do.. Hasnt been started in 5 years but dry stored, Hoping that i can get it to run. Just trying to source the correct battery to begin with.#Please keep in touch as id like to learn from you as you go. Mine is same colour too but with the pandora roof.
Many thanks for the post.
