there is a pretty good list of links on the FLU.org website. check it out. most of the bigger vendors carry SOME parts that you would need to make your car "Abarthish", but you really need to go look at the list of ALL the vendors so you can be familiar with what they all carry and prices etc...

Looks like a reasonably sound unit. Spider Point also stock a fair bit of stuff to make it look like an Abarth. http://www.spider-point.com

I didin't see where this was further discussed, but after seeign that pic, I seriously doubt its an Abarth. The fender flare on the pic is that of a traditional spider. Looks like it could be a nice car.

Yeah, I'm not sure if the definitive answer had been made for that question, but that is, without a doubt, NOT an Abarth. It is a sweet looking car, though.

That's kinda what I thought, see when I first looked at it it was dark so I thought it was a two seater and a few other misconceptions like that. but when I looked at it yesterday I saw it did have a rear seat. But what made me think it was an Abarth was that it has an Abarth badge on the hood, what's up with that?

well, do not be in a rush to start that engine. carefully proceeding to remove all of the old-bad gas from the entire fuel system, including the carb or FI

from what i can tell, looks like a nice project for you.
