New Spider in the Web

[JerryAebi]

I just wanted to say hey now to everyone, I'm new to the site, and looking forward to sharing photo's and performance tip's with the new spider clan. I have a 1974 spider still in restoration, but it's getting real close to being on the road. Will upload pix as soon as I can. Happy Driving.

Thanks Pete for the welcome and thread for posting pix. I'll have my house guest help me with that, as I'm not that savy with computers but he is, he owns a internet lounge, should be no problem for him.

Well this is my 74 Fiat Spider, bought for $750.00 not running.

Nice score!

Hello and welcome. If that is a rust free Cali car you bought for 750 with a roll bar I think you did very well. I'm still looking for a deal like that.

Thanks, It took me over a year everyday on craigslist before it turned up. There was a tiny bit of rust on the lower rocker but we took care of that.

So I pulled the motor.

Then got rid of all the smog crap and spot welded all holes.

Then painted the engine compartment and motor block, Maserati Red (1986 Rosso Red)

I know it looks orange, it's not. Just the photo.

. Moving forward, ive had motor rebuilt with headers and glass pack exhaust straight pipe,new braking system all around, new suspension, dash and console redone in black Italian leather with red stitch. 15' rims and tires. Now I'm saving again to do the seats, carpet, canvas top and BOOMING stereo.

[JerryAebi]

Photo of the dash and console. What a difference.
