Hello from Stanley,NY

[CAM1961]

I just bought a 1978 Fiat Spider 124 in October 2024-was not able to drive it very far the day I got it as the transmission almost fell out due to missing bolts. Got it to the repair shop where it spent a little over two months being worked on - it is winter here and with snow and road salt I haven’t been able to drive it (just home from the shop-roads clear and dry that day). I am anxiously awaiting spring so I can enjoy my new toy!

Welcome!
I see that you are only 35-40 minutes away from me. I'm in Marion. Perhaps I can help you with questions, etc. I have my father's 1974 124 Spider that he bought new, and I have 2 shop manuals, a clutch alignment tool, a carburetor tool, and some odds & ends from a '72 that he bought as a parts car. Again, Welcome!

Sorry for not responding sooner. Thank you for reaching out. I haven’t been the one working on my car since I don’t know how to do a lot so I’m at the mercy of a repair shop that does foreign cars. They have been great. I can drive it now and really do love it. I have bought interior parts- new carpet, door weather stripping and plan to do the installation myself with some help from my husband. While I am at it I will treat the floors with rust inhibitor and add some heat and noise barrier along with a new stereo and speakers as the one in the car now isn’t original anyways. I might even put it in a car show this summer. Thank you again for reaching out.
