I randomly fell upon this yesterday-- i like it. Generally i dont like these cars with wire wheels but these wheels look great. The tail lights take a bit of getting used to, i would rather they looked more like Brady Jones' car. I've never seen front bumpers like this, seems like a set of rear bumpers, i think they look appealing. Fuel injection too, a plus for me. The car was built with care and costed way more than 7000$ to get it this way. Up here in Canada the values are generally higher since Fiats are more of a rare sighting here, a perfect one retails for 10,000$ +. Issues are minor. If it doesnt need a repaint i would buy it.

The problems with FI sytem are concerning since you are diagnosing someone else's work.

Sweet ! I like the wire wheels. Tail lights are Ferari like. Looks like a good buy. Jon In Rainy Washington.

Definitely a dry weather car as he filled in the wiper holes.

I have seen this car a few times at BFI. It is well done but I dont like the mods. Dont like tail lights or front bumper among other things. I dont understand the concern with the fuel injection though. I think the mods will bring the price lower.

Taillights look OK but I really dont like the front bumper. engine bay looks awesome! Not sure why you'd eliminate the original turn signal lights from a 71 as they're pretty cool. Car has a great stance though

I wonder if those wire wheels are the $3k Borrani ones? If not, what are they, and where can I get some?

[AriK]

While they are unlikely to be stately Borranis here's a set of wire wheels for sale in Vancouver. Tires included, not bad for the price, if it suits your style.

Those do look nice! But not true spoked wheels.

Not true spoked wheels but that set-up makes all the difference in the world when it comes to detailing. That's one sharp looking wheel with minimal effort.

It would look better on fire. Ruined an early Spider.

LOL, Brad!
