Hi there, sounds like rain for Sat but next week sounds like a good time to be on the road.
So, some little details.... what year spider, locally bought? I believe there have been several for sale lately that look pretty good. There was one over in the Kootenays that looked really nice, just a pain to get to.
Keep fathers day circled for another reason...best of Italy and France in North Van.
Good luck and take a few pics and post them.

Welcome from the Island, Peter! You will find the folks on this forum to be invaluable as you go through your Fiat journey.
You might also find Clemente Motors on Kingsway to be a big help if you get in to real trouble.

Thanx for the warm welcome. What I have is 1975 Spider. Got it at an auction, so don't have much history about it. Looks mostly original from what I can tell. Still working on getting keys cut since it didn't have any. Needs some work but not hopeless. Goal for this year is to get it running and fix the interior so maybe I can enjoy taking it out for a ride.

[PeterR2170]

I'll post some pics soon.

and fix the interior so maybe I can enjoy taking it out for a ride.

There is a fellow in W Van with plenty of interior parts. Check CL Van and you'll see some of the stuff for sale.

Peter, I should mention he has plenty of other stuff not mentioned. I stopped by there last Sunday when I was down and bought a FI fuel pump. I already had bought a spare engine, tranny and top from the fellow. Good guy to deal with.
Grant out in Surrey has a few things as well. He has a couple of heads, one with SerraL1 40/80 cams.
