New from Mexico

Post by GTRaptor »

Owner over only 1.5 months, 1979 Spider, 3rd owner. "Ferrari Red", partially restored.
Work done; most of the exterior, new carpet & insulation, fixed rust spots (minor), all rubber new, new wheels and tires, brake job, rebuilt weber, all fluids (trans, engine, axle, brakes, coolant). New steering wheel, 1 week polish and ceramic coating.

Pending: all new suspension bushings, tie rod ends and ball joints.

Engine runs at 80%, 1 exhaust valve is sticking, so full valve job and all new engine gaskets.
Interior, needs new center console.

Roberto that looks like a very nice car. Congratulations. You probably already know this, but replacements for the clock face are available from the Fiat venders and not too bad to replace.
Cheers

Hi and welcome!
Your car looks great and the actual tasks seem to be solvable!

As your car is already listed in the worldwide Spider Register (from the sales ad in 2020) I just would add some details to the entry, see here:
https://www.fiatspider.de/register/vehicle/3207
(link not static, monthly changing)

Actually there are 49 Spider from Mexico listed:

Any help for more cars is appreciated!

Bye Ralf
