New Guy Restoring a Fiat

Post by 61FiatNuke »

Hey all!

So, I'm currently in the Greater Los Angeles Area of California and have recently graduated college. For my summer project, I'm working on restoring a 1961 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet. I have all(?) of the original parts and it's just a matter of doing some body work and putting her back together...although I'm thinking I might want to switch out the engine. We'll see. Anyway, if anyone has tips on restoration or alteration, I'm eager to learn. I look forward to getting her running and being a proud Fiat owner!
