Hi Pete,

i posted my flickr album above as ill be contributing to that and the link really wont change.

im going to take a minute and update some of the old html thats in these forums.

Seat Faq "AKA Seats... Lets get a FAQ Together"

Second Example, im looking at information on convertible top installs, as mine is being really obtuse and what ive found on line so far is pretty poor info wise, as i have so many questions!

Wizard124 apparently has a top install instruction out there somewhere, and im lurking their 700 posts in order to find it, ill post it below the bad link.
Topic: "New Convertible Top"
bad link: http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic ... 15&t=29004
Fixed link: http://www.fiatspider.com/f15/viewtopic ... 15&t=29004

Chris Obert's installation guide is no longer available on the links posted on this site, and apparently it was pretty handy, someone have a pdf copy we can upload to the forum somewhere?

Ill start gathering some of this info and print to pdf so we can upload it here or elsewhere for longevity, as its golden stuff and so unique i wouldnt want to risk losing it as i was afraid it was already gone until i started digging into the html.

(obviously i do computer systems for a living, so i can usually help out with the technical stuff)
