Greetings from CA

Post by 1982spider »

Hello All,
I've been quiet in the Fiat game for a little while, but finding some time again for it. I got my 82 Spider 2000 when I was 18. Picked up a new 500 Abarth a couple years ago and am now doing some large projects on the spider. The engine has a ring issue, so a buddy gave me one of his spiders with a known good engine (2L with 1800 head and one 40/80 cam). I've pulled that out and just about finished replacing all the seals and cleaning/painting everything. Hopefully that'll go in soon and then we get to figure out what to do with the rest of that second car!
