I bought my first Spider Monday. I've been looking at, please don't hate on me, a bunch of British cars , I was looking for a summer toy/winter project, when I saw this Fiat on our local c-list. So the wife and I went and looked at this one, saw what work the po had done and what was left, and bought it on the spot. Impressive car, I can't wait to get started on "Poiana".

Why would we hate on you for making the right choice?

I'm trying to figure how to post pics, I would like some of your opinions, but, I have a 1978. Powertrain wise, it runs great, but glad I'm in ND now as it does have a few leaks. Thanks to you all I did fix the oil leaks on the exhaust manifold, and I have ordered everything I need to hopefully fix the rest of the leaks.
The interior is all original, and in pretty decent shape, excpet for no carpet. The PO removed it and had the floor de-rusted, ie; some pretty good metal panels built and replaced. Even though I need carpet, everything else is there.
The rear suspension has all new links, and all new bushings in the front.
It has had the bumpers removed, and the PO didn't have them, and it had been painted before he bought it, looks good at 20 feet, get closer and it had some sloppy bondo work, so that's where most of the work will be.
Untill I can figure out the pic thing here, there are a couple on our Face Book Page, Blue Buzzard Motorsports, I will also be on Instagram and Twitter. Yea I'm one of those guys.
