1981 Fiat Spider 2000 - NE Ohio
This week I became a proud '4th' owner of a pretty clean '81 Spider 2000. Located in N. Canton, OH.
It's in need of some 'love', and I hope to share and learn through this wonderful resource @ fiatspider dot com.

Nice! Looks exactly like my old 81 (except for missing the chip in the paint over the wheel well).
I miss that car.
Welcome aboard!

Yes, it was a garage queen and undercoated 
It has 40,000 miles and was originally sold in Canton, OH at Bill's Auto Sales, never really left the area.
Guestimating from the included paperwork, the original owner had it for 17,000 and 3 years, stating it had never even seen rain.
The second owner put on about 18,000 miles in approx 20 years, and the third had it 10 years for only 5,000 miles.
I have the Original Wheels with the Original Pirelli P3 tires still mounted. The tires on the car(Pirelli p6000) are only the second set(and they have a lot of tread, but they are 14 years old).
I feel very lucky to have found and acquired this baby.
Just got done with the timing belt and water pump, next is the Front Brake hoses and control arm bushings.
Needs Heater Valve, all new hoses and then on to the transmission...pops out of 2nd gear.
I haven't taken a close look yet, but my guess the rear trailing arm bushings are needed as well.
