New guy just wants to say hi

Post by mikeb1223 »

i am from Orlando Florida and i just acquired a 80 Fiat Spider it is a daily driven resto in progress the motor has been rebuilt it has cams (not sure the size still looking into that) 4-2-1 header exhaust and a 38/38 weber? not sure on the size but it isnt the stock one on a single plane mani... it got it not running and did alot of engine and body wiring... not it is in perfecvt tune and not as fast as i am used to but it is a very fun car... i would say almost as fun as my 88 M3 i had like a go cart on rails lol.. well here are some pics

That bonnet (hood) is sure to generate a lot of comment ...

The stock hood looks like the one on the red spider at the top of the website - yours has been modified to look like hood scoops, some like them, some prefer the stock look.

Gotcha, I purchased the car like that... I'm actually indifferent about a mod or not on the hood

Looks like the front vent holes have been filled in too, lots of folks like to do that.
