Hello everyone. Picking up a 1979 Spider this weekend. Been lurking a bit while waiting for activation and looking forward to being a part of the community.

Welcome Fiatlanta! This is a great forum with lots of interesting personalities and tons of info buried in its depths. The biggest challenge seems to be adding pictures to your posts, but good instructions on that are buried in here as well.

Unfortunately, can't pick up the car till this weekend, but will definitely try to post some pics when I do.

Have already gotten a lot of good information just lurking the last few days, and am looking forward to actually interacting with everyone as well.

Carb or fuel injected?

Actually '80 may have been the first year for fuel injection....

Welcome Fiatlanta!

In many ways the Spider is the perfect old fun car. Stylish. Reasonably reliable with a bit of care and sense. And with a really great group of fellow enthusiasts to help us along.

Bet you can't wait to get her on the road!

(And we to see the pix!)
