Another spider to rescue?

Nice buy. Sounds like you can save the 1 and strip the other leaving you ahead in your hobby/obsession.

Hey Riverdadd, feel like selling that splash pan. Why worry about cutting it to accommodate filter. Easier to sell and send to me.

PM me if the idea is doable.

Well, I picked up the second Fiat today. a total rust bucket. I didn't really look close when I picked up the other one. car was missing rear axle so i didn't get a chance to look underneath. it was sitting on bare ground with 2 flat fronts and no rear, no top or cover of any type, totally exposed to the elements for at least a decade, i'd bet.

Floor pans are gone, literally crumbled to dust. rockers toast,wheel arches....u get the idea. This gem will be liberated of its good parts and recycled......

But, I impressed my teen aged daughter, who rode along, with my "feat of engineering" by placing the carcass on the tow dolly, minus a rear end, and dragging it home! It is truly amazing what a few ratchet straps, a stout pipe and several blocks of wood will accomplish!

Oh and it was that Fiat orange as well. They loved to paint them that orange....i'm not a big fan

well its been a while ..... so here is an update, the spider starts and runs . i had to clean the points and replace the coil Lead wire to the distributor. ( mouse chewed thru it). fluid flush and maybe i will be able to move under its own power. it ran surprisingly smoothly.
