New member from Vancouver BC!

Post by Oooman »

Hi All,

Just drove home my '82 Fiat Spider 2000 last weekend. It's had a lot of work done but still needs a lot more. At least it runs!
Came without bumpers and in a non-original colour. I like the look sans-bumpers so will probably leave it this way.

Cheers,

Oooman

Hi there. Check out CL Vancouver, tons of parts available.
Where did you get the car? There was a couple up this way that were for sale at one time.
Some pics are good...

I bought my '82 locally. I'll try a photo from Dropbox:

I've made some progress on my restoration project in the past two weeks. Now have the original bumpers, 2 bumper shocks and turn signals. Still need 2 more bumper shocks, front bumper mount bracket and bolts.There seem to be lots of parts hiding away in garages in town, so I'll just keep hunting.

Well there seems to be a problem embedding photos from Dropbox, so I'll just paste the link:

Nice colour!

Looks like a new hood badge, too.

Unfortunately the clear coat on the Gold Metallic is failing. The original colour is Smoke Gray, I may go back to that when I repaint.
