who does restoration?

[spiderwoman9]

Hello,
I am new to this site, and it is a very interesting site, and a wonderful find. I love Fiats, and I can now find many answers to my searching.

I have a 1976 Fiat Spider that I have had for many years. Brought it back from Germany when my husband was in the Air Force.
didn't take very good care of it (regret) and I just can not let it go, so, I am looking for a shop or someone that does restorations.

I will appreciate any suggestions.
Thanking you in advance,
spiderwoman9

Please tell us where you are located and what you feel the car needs done to it. Using the search function, there are a lot of excellant write ups on things that owners have done to their cars. With minimal mechanical skills, a lot of things can be done yourself. Also, depending on where you are located, a local owner might be willing to help do things for food and beverage.

Thank you RRoller123 & ronarthur for your advice.
I cannot believe I did not mention where I am located. anyway, I am in NJ and the auto mechanical knowledge that I have is less than minimal.
What I would need for my fiat is a total restoration.

I would check in with these guys. http://www.njfiats.org/ Members Ralph, George and Exit98 post here fairly regularly. George has a contact in the Poconos for bodywork and paint plus he is always parting out cars so he might have a part if you need it. Brady did about the best resto/renovation on a Fiat that you would ever see. Good group of guys that would point you in the right direction.
