Angel from Minnesota! 79 spider

[Angelic]

My name is Angel. I'm 23 years old i live in Bloomington Minnesota eh. 79 fiat spider. I've never done any body work but I am pretty confident this will be a great car once it is all finished!
Engine runs Ok it was rebuilt in 2010 its leaking oil from oil pan, also drain plug is stuck. I may need to drill it out. Anyway it will be lots of fun. Thanks for reading!

If there is enough sticking out you can try removing the drain plug with vice-grips. Be sure to have a new one ready to replace it!

Thank you everyone for being so welcoming!!
>>"4uall" thank you and I'm still trying to figure out how to post pictures.
>>"RRoller123" thanks for the link on how to post pictures.
>>"Tobi" I'm going to do my best to make there, even tho the car is in pretty rough shape physically I may still go there so I can get some inspiration!!
>>>>"fiat218" Yes, one more Minnesota person, do you know if there is any threads for us Minnesotans? P.S. I'm a dude
>>"Vandor" Thanks for the tip. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but I believe this car will make me want to learn.

So far I fixed the radio (rewired the speakers) Fixed the wiper motor (it's so cute they are so slow!!) fixed the circuit boards for the taillights/stoplights/turn signals. Only one I can't seem to get to work are the back up lamps.

My car is rusty and I go to "Wheels of Italy" every year. I just don't try to compete with the people with more money or more time on their hands.
You will have to be very careful when you drill out the drain plug. It's a pipe thread and it will never seal again when you hurt it. Try a pipe wrench first.

Then I guess I shall see you at the "Wheels of Italy" I'm going to try and at least make the interior look ok,

That's what I thought too Jim! It never pays to assume, does it? For all I know, you could be a very pretty girl!

In my head Angel still is a pretty, Spider driving girl that only lives 20 minutes from where I live
