New 73' 850 spider owner

[73sportspider]

Hi, just bought my first fiat. Its a 73' sport spider. Has minimal rust, a terrible paint job, and a decent running 903cc engine. Needs lots of little things fixed. First major things is to redo the seats, replace carpet, and repaint. I have a lot of questions, so I'll see you down in the 850 forum. Thanks.

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.
