New owner of a 1980 Spider

Postby cazzerz » Tue Apr 25, 2017 1:07 pm

Hello y'all,

Picked up a 1980 Fiat Spider with 46,000 original miles from a family member that needed space in their garage. The car is in pretty good shape. Had to repair a few things and replace a few too. It is a work in progress. But over all loving the car!

Thanks! The car was originally a silver car, but not to long after the original owner bought it they painted it black.

Love this lil car!

Welcome to the forum Cazzerz!

great looking car you have there!

your driver seat looks like its suffering the old lean syndrome! Or is it just the way the photo was taken?
