Importing parts to Canada

[grasshopper]

Hi all. I just bought a 76 Spider ! I live in Canada. Was wondering if there is a place in Canada i can get replacement parts from ? If not,what would be a convenient and economical way of ordering parts and having them shipped into Canada ?
Thanks for any help.

In my past experiences, If your not in a big rush go with USPS/Canada Post. Couriers like UPS and Purolator, charge taxes, duties and brokerage fees. I've had parts mailed here, arrive right to the door with no additional charges.

Rob, what part of Canada are you from?

I agree with Dan USPS is my number 1 choice

Believe it or not you can get some parts from Canadian Tire, NAPA etc.

If you ever need body parts, I hear great things from these guys in Quebec

Thanks Dan. I will post pics when i can. I think i am going to be on this website alot ! I will pretty much need a "play by play" to do anything on this car,,lol.. The car was painted before i bought it,and it's complete,but i have a lot of things to do in it. One thing i have to do is put some of the interior back together before i go onto the rest of the car,,,i just want to get this out of the way so i see some progress. I don't have screws to put in some of these parts (chrome at bottom of door that holds carpet,,etc,, where can i get these ? I'm thinkiing they are probably small screws? I also have to change the engine,fix exhaust,,etc,,etc,,lol

I also have to change the engine

And you're worried about sourcing the screws that hold the trim that holds the carpet?
Gota love Fiat owners
I got mine at Home Depot. Not that I am an expert on screws, I just bought some small self taping metal Phillips head screws (Phillips head were original on my 68 although I do prefer Robertsons).
As long as they catch the metal/carpet and hold it all down.
Try to get shiny ones
Whasup with the engine? Pretty tough little motors, hard to kill.

+1 on Home Depot or Lowes, Ace, etc.
#8 x 3/4" stainless oval head screws.
#8 x 1 works too.
