Newbie Here!

Post by bchguy111 »

I am the proud owner of a 1978 Fiat 124 Spider. Got it yesterday. Bought from a Museum in El Segundo. It was perfect weather and had the best drive home, which took me an hour in traffic. Needs some things here and there, but runs and looks good.

Looks nice! Congratulations and welcome. I thought the '78's had the older style door handles but it must be the transition year.

it's been a while. Thanks for all the welcome. So far, I've changed the cat so I could pass smog in California, added a front spoiler, new exhaust and tip. Here are some updated pics I took at Angeles Crest Highway 2.

These two are just good pictures of the front in the garage and the other with the top up and new exhaust.
