Greetings from ice cold Western Canada

Post by CLuch »

Hi Everybody,

I recently purchased a new to me, 1977 Fiat Spider... just in time to put it into winter storage. She is a beautiful machine with all the character and patina that comes with a '77. Originally red, but repainted British Racing Green; tan interior, black top. Somewhere in her lifetime somebody transplanted a 2000cc fuel injected drivetrain into her and every day is a new adventure trying to figure out what parts are from the original '77 and which are from the younger steed.

I am slowly working out the "search" and "image" functionality of the page so please bear with me. I am sure I will have a lot of questions over the next 6 months, as I get her ready for spring.

Cheers,
Chris

*EDIT* Got the pictures figured out

Hello and welcome. That's a popular color combo, and your car looks in good condition. That wind blocker is very effective in extending your rather-short driving season.

Are you a Flames, Oilers or Jets fan?
