Hey! new user from Ontario Canada

Hi all!

What a great site! I just picked up a '78 spider as a project car.
I've always sworn by good ol' american muscle but i must say, this car has made me a changed man. Such beautiful simplicity!
I will have a lot of questions for all of you as i restore this car, so please go easy on me if I ask stupid questions!
If anyone lives near Burlington Ontario, please let me know,

Thanks, and again...what a great site!

Welcome to the site Rene and congratulations on picking up a great car. I'm not near Burlington but would be glad to help if I can. My son is attending university at Brock so i'm down that way occasionally. Please show us some pictures when you get a chance.

Thanks guys!
My fiat is definitely a project car. It runs, drives, and stops but needs lots of work. Mostly cosmetic.
The car was brought up from Virginia a few years ago so the body has very little rust, and the undercarriage is almost spotless. It's a welcome change to be able to remove 33 year old bolts with little effort instead of a lot of WD40!
I will post some pictures soon, right now it is getting certified (just the bare minimum so i can move it around) Over the winter i intend to tear it down and send it out for body and paint.

Welcome Rene. These cars are amazing and the part prices are mostly reasonable. Please do post some pictures.

Welcome fellow Canadian

I live in Moncton New Brunswick. I’d love to help with any info I can. my email is ovidet@nbnet.nb.ca

I get all my parts at http://www.vickauto.com/newstore/, they have been extremely helpful in the restoration of my 1974 fiat spider, with there help I won many car show awards. There prices are very good.

Love to see images of your car.

All the best
