Hi,

I just bought this 79, and have already fixed a ton of things by using this forum.

Got the radiator burped, and the front end creaking fixed (I hope), put oil in the idler, and lots of other stuff.

The auto transmission is slipping some, so I need to address that next. Hope its just fluid or an adjustment.

Seems to skip 2nd and drive better with the selector in "2" than "Drive."

hello and welcome, your paint looks like glass

Trick photography and mirror glaze.

It's mostly rattle can, or a very poor Maaco job.

New paint is on the list for the future!

Hello and welcome! The DC area is home to more vintage Fiats than any other part of the country outside of Southern California. Check out the site: http://www.dcfiats.org for events and activities. Next week is the national show near Waynesboro, VA. You're close enough to drop in for a day. I hope to see you on a drive sometime!

Welcome!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

I am going to check out the DC fiat group for sure.

And I fixed my transmission, thanks to the forum.

I was checking it cold and not running - I was a quart low!
