Picture help,...

Having taken damage to the grill area, I need some pictures of the area behind a '79 Spider 2000's grill, to include the electric horns, and driver's side air dam. They will help me return my Spider to it's proper appearance,...thanks!
I was also wondering if anyone had pictures of the attachment hardware for the convertible top boot,...the forward attachment, where the boot attaches to the convertible top frame. My boot is obviously missing some attaching hardware,...I only have snaps. Any idea of where to get the hardware?
Thank you. Todd.

Just got some pics today,...
Here's the Spider's driver's side front,...I just need to see what it is supposed to look like:

And, a headache since I bougth the car, 16 years ago,...I believe that my convertible top boot is missing some hardware that should be in the pocket, near the snap:

Am I correct, and is it possible to purchase/replace just the hardware?
Thanks! Todd.

these are what you need. i glued mine into the pockets of the tonneau cover with 3m super weatherstrip adhesive. that stuff is awesome. https://autoricambi.us/products/convert ... -and-right

there is a boss affixed to the conv frame, that these hook over, when the top is down. the boss is inboard on the frame, thus the left and right orientation of these inserts

Thank you sir!
I KNEW something was missing. I'll add those to my next AutoRicambi order,...that will take care of the 'flapping boot headache'.
Now I just need to deal with the Spider's body damage,...
Again, thanks!
Todd.

glad to help.

Now, it would sure be appreciated if anyone can get a picture of the driver's side area behind the grill,...I still need to see the air dam and horns so that I can properly repair mine.
Thanks all!
Todd.

You might look at this amazing post for some good pix (pages 2 and 3 may show what you are looking for -- look carefully as there are many photos -- very good ones, I might add): http://www.fiatspider.com/f15/viewtopic ... 30&t=33711

I can see the air dam, thank you. Cool thread,...
I have seen some other pics,...seems like both horns should face forward, and the air dam edge is nearly vertical.
MAN! After seeing that car, I will NEVER be depressed about my Spider's recent accident. Amazing restoration considering the amount of serious rust!
I've brought a few cars back to life, but none were as bad as that Spider!
Thanks, Todd.
