Just bought my first Fiat

It's a 1977 124 Spider, with a 1981 fuel injected engine.
The body is 95%... mostly it just needs a new paintjob. (It was poorly repainted at some point)
The colour is British Racing Green, which I really like ! It used to be red.

The interior is great except that the driver's seat-back has something broken in it. I can see from the old work-records I have that it had been welded a time or 2. I've been searching online for a replacement seat back, but all I find listings for are the seat pans.

A wind screen was installed behind the front seats. I do enjoy the option of whether or not I want the wind blowing around me.

I've only had it for a little over 2 weeks & so far, so good !!

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.
