My first Fiat Spider

Post by eman2112 »

I recently bid on a 1981 Fiat Spider 2000 on EBay. I can't wait to go pick it up. It needs a little efi work so I am looking forward to reading everyone's posts.

New Orleans, La. Is where I live. Actually, (River Ridge near N.O.) Thanks folks. I look forward to getting the car and bugging the heck out of everyone for help. HEHE...
I have a question about the dash though... I just bought a 81 spider but something is missing from the dash (according to the pictures). I know that there are 4 screws that hold the dash on but what is between the tach and speedo below the temp gauge? Is that an idiot light or something?
Also how do I add pics to my posts? Eman2112

you're probably talking about the trip-meter reset knob.

and see the last post in this thread (linked below) for a "how to post photos" tutorial that rroller has been putting together.
