Hi my name is David Peters and i have a 1980 124 spider engine / 5sp in a 1958 morris minor traveller. I know its not a spider and this is a spider forum but i need a ton of advice and help with then engine and tranny. The morris was my dads and he gave it to me when i turned 18, but it sat for about 10 years. So i need alot of help getting parts for the motor and figuring out how to get this to be a drivable car now. Where is a good place to get parts for the motor?
Thank you,
David Peters

Re: HI from jacksonville
google for fiat spider parts and you will find a good list of parts suppliers. If the engine was runing before to be stored then you may need to rebuild or replace the carb
good lock with the project
