Hey all!
I'm new to spiders, well Fiat's in general. I've been a car guy for over 35 years but I've always been into old school American iron, mostly trucks. Well when you have a 16 year old who likes something different, you run with it.
I'm a Forester in my day gig where I manage 100K acres of land for a major company and love to pull wrenches on the weekend with my boys.
I'm learning loads about the spiders and looking forward to working on it with my son.

Get yourself an old set of metric tools. Modern metric cars don't use the same sizes. you will need a light touch tightening things down compared to Detroit trucks.
