My 1967 Fiat 124 Spider Restoration Journey

Is that you place of employment or a shop that rents space for you to do your own restorations? Must be really nice to have access to what appears to be a wet area with a drained cantered floor along with all the lifts/jigs and a downdraft paint booth with the grated floor.

Tank in


Rubber bump stops in.. These were painful to get in...



All new suspension being fitted

What a fantastic project! Great work!

That is going to be one beautiful car!
I was going to say it would be like having a time machine and going back to when it was new, but your car will be much better than new.
It's been fun watching the progress. And I think we're all a little jealous of the facility you have to work with.

Suspension in. Now onto brakes and wheels...

Good to have friends! Too many are afraid of reciprocity nowadays and shy away from helping one other.

Just to have access to a spacious enclosed work area with a flat floor and good lighting can make the job so much easier.

Man that is going to be one "Brand Spanking New Car"
