well it was awesome.... 82 FI spider... bought as a fixer upper..... It finally moved under its own power!! and stopped!!
monumental!
Work so far:
oil change
timing belt and tensioner
total flush of fuel system to include a new tank,sending unit,filter, filler hose, new soft lines....
Unsticking 4 stuck injectors...including an education in fuel injection trouble shooting! thanks to the forum members!!!
brake caliper seals and fluid flush
evicting mice,spiders,bird nests, PINE NEEDLES( they get everywhere)....ect general crud.........WHO PARKS A CAR UNDER A TREE UNCOVERED??!!
very rewarding to drive it around my farm!!
12 year old daughter is eyeing it!! bonus moment
Im truly impressed how well it runs after sitting 6 years....smooth idle and even acceleration!!
my Fiat day

Re: my Fiat day
I laughed out loud a little bit when I read the part about your daughter eyeing the car. Too funny.
