Hello guys'
I am new to the site and am currently having my 1979 Fiat 124 spider restored from a bare metal strip back. Restoration in finally phase, when I've sussed the site out I'll try and upload the photos.
Look after those motors

Re: Restoration
I'm very interested to hear and see what you have done. Was it a straight restoration? Since you took it down to bare metal, did you keep the 124 transmission or opt for a 131/132?plout4768 wrote:I am new to the site and am currently having my 1979 Fiat 124 spider restored from a bare metal strip back.

Re: Restoration
Hi Plout,
looking forward to the pics and your posts about the restoration. I had a quote on my 79 for a full restoration for paint and bodywork and it was $10-$15K - out of my league! Let us all know how it goes. Good luck!
