[jfletchx00]

I recently purchased a red 1981 Fiat Spider and am slowing working towards fixing up the little things. I have some pictures, all i want if for you experienced folks to tell me how everything looks based on the pictures below.

Thanks in advance!




Here are some pictures:

Thanks Mark! She needs new carpeting and some minor repairs on the interior, and for the exterior, needs a new paint job. It was a nice hot rod red but somebody painted it the color it is now, which is like a reddish brown.

pay attention to what BWilson said: Change the timing belt. If you don't have a shop manual
get one. Nice car. You also have a garage that fits the car. My garage (2 car) is stuffed with
car parts. No room to work inside. Nice garage!

Thanks Mike. Everyone that sees the garage is baffled by how large it is and how much stuff can be stored in it. It is a two bay garage with an attached workshop on the back that has two side bays. It can easily fit both my parents vehicles, the fiat, and a 16 foot boston whaler.
