Greeting from the Sunshine State

[Bunnet]

Hello, I recently new and young, mid 20s owner of a Fiat. A little background, my father drove Fiats growing up in South America, so I wanted one as well, I found one a maroon 79' with no engine or transmission in it (but the previous owner did have them), and slowly been process of putting together.

It taken me well over four months because 1) I’m not mechanically incline, this being a test to see how well can learn. 2) The two mechanics helping me are INCREDIBLE good in American cars and last I been quite sick.

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.
