New member from Illinois

Post by FiatNewbie1969 »

Hi All!

I just wanted to say hi and will be lurking, LOL. I just bought a 1969 Fiat 850 Spider, in desperate need of restore. The thing is pitiful but picked it up for $500, all parts look to be there but will be using this forum for some serious help. From what I have seen this looks like the place to be for information.

Thank you!

I think there may be some friendly folks in Chicago, with a
possibility of spare parts. http://www.meetup.com/chicagolandfiatan ... es/boards/
