Hello everyone. I found her 20 years ago under a fallen down Palm tree on the beach in Florida. The owner abandoned the spider and left the car with her father. It didn't start , I bought her cheap got her running within the hour. This car brought me so much happiness. I put seat belts in the back seats and raised my two children in her every time we went to Florida to vocation. I brought her up North to Canada 10 years ago and drove her occasionally . It's time to take care of her. The best part of it is , when I bought her there was NO Internet and now I found you (FiatSpider.com) .
:D
Thank you
Carman

You are so right! 20 and 30, yrs ago it was much harder to work on any uncommon car in terms of typical problems and fixes. On the other hand, for the most part, they were easier to work on.
