Years ago I owned a 1974 FIAT 124 sport spider. Then I bought a 1979 FIAT X1/9. Both cars I worked on from top to bottom. The X 1/9 was completly restored with a beautiful custom paint job. Great memories of fun cars to work on and drive.
Now I would like to seek out a FIAT again. The search begins..... I would prefer an early 124 Sport Spider ( 1970-1974 ).
Thanks for having this forum. It's fun to see so many people with a passion for these beautiful cars.

Re: Looking to FIAT...again
Hey how is it going,
I now have a 1970 spider that I am currently working on. So far i have done all the brakes, replaced all the fuel lines and vacuum lines and installed a new stereo. However I am a college student and have yet again ran out of money to put toward the car. It need some more work, has some rust, needs a new top, and the engine needs some tuning. If you would like some new information I would be more than happy to send some pictures.

Hi, welcome.
Maybe you are looking more for a restoration project than a done deal, but take a look at this:

I am leaning more towards a restored car. Your car looks great.
