Hello y'all,
Picked up a 1980 Fiat Spider with 46,000 original miles from a family member that needed space in their garage. The car is in pretty good shape. Had to repair a few things and replace a few too. It is a work in progress. But over all loving the car!

That's a nice looking car, always liked the Red interior.

Welcome to the forum Cazzerz!
great looking car you have there!
