New to Fiats in Roseville, CA

[faux40]

Howdy All,

My lovely wife and I recently picked up a '75 124 that we think is pretty good shape. We have lots of ideas for it. We're really happy to find a good forum for Fiats -- I really "get" the purpose of these online forums! We may be new to Fiats, but have experience with hard-to-find-parts-for vehicles -- We also have a '67 Nissan Patrol (plus the necessary stable of parts vehicles to support it!) -- Without it's forum, 60Patrol.com, we'd have had an extra tough time getting it back on the road!



Anyway, thanks!

John & Emily

It sure looks nice.

Look forward to hearing about your plans and progress.

Good luck.

This short instruction covers how to resize pictures so that they don’t get cut off at the right side:

Pictures can be easily and quickly resized using Windows.
You do not need to open the image file, therefore no image viewing software is needed.

1. First find where the image is stored on your computer.
2. Click on the image file to high light it.
3. Right click, then select "EDIT"
4. Click "RESIZE" in the upper left corner of the screen
5. Click on "PIXELS"
6. Make sure that "MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO" is checked.
7. Retype "725" in "Horizontal" field.
8. Click "OK"
9. Save image, if desired. I put them in parallel folders with “resized” somewhere in the description..

It will now be resized and will show fully and properly on the forum, using standard Windows software.

And here is a link to a map of Spider owner’s locations. Many forum members have listed their locations.

Hey!
That's Ron's old spider.
I didn't know he was going to sell it.
Not sure if he mentioned a mechanic that helped him with repairs and mods to that car.
But that would be me.
Let me know if I can help out.
You should also hook up with our local Fiat club.

What is the local club? I'm from Redding / Chico / Orland and there's not many near us, but Roseville's not too far away
