Needs a new top and im in the process of trying to get her to run, no spark..lol. anyways glad to be here and be part of this awesome forum. Love my Pininfarina!!!

Sounds good to me.

If you haven't already done so check out the Chicago chapter of FLU. They host some great events and tech days.

Just a heads-up to anyone in the Chicago area.

The ChicagoLand FIAT & Lancia Unlimited group is hosting another tech day event at AutoSprint in November.

This is one of my favorite meetups of the year and I highly recommend that anyone in the area join the FLU chapter and attend this event.

Plus meeting the other owners is always a good time.
