Let me know if it has a wiper motor. Maybe some pics. I'd like to get over there too, but don't know if I'll be able to get there before next week.

You should consider changing your wiper motor to a Bosch motor from a VW Rabbit. Quicker and almost a perfect plug in

That's too bad. :( But now I know there's a Pull-a Part close by.

What year Rabbit and how "almost a perfect plug in" is it?

There's a write up that James Seabolt did years ago. I'll see if I can find a link for you.

OK. I think I may already have this.

BTW. Is that your daughter racing for that Champion thing I saw on Tony Miracle's FB page?

yes. She is 13 years old and has been racing gokarts for 4 years. We're moving her up to limited late model this year and are trying to get some help so she can be competitive.
Hope you'll register and vote for her! She really is very talented.

Glad to hear Joe.

Your car is still looking great. Were those stock black center hubs on your wheels? I'm assuming they are since everything appears to be stock/original. The ones I see (and have) are usually the red Fiat logo.

Got you PM. Hope your holidays went well.

I've recently removed my front bumper and working on some possible solutions. The image posted is a combination of real/actual and some parts (Cobra bumpers & lights) Photoshopped in. Hopefully it'll be all real for our spring meeting. :)

Here is an Italian car event in our area that might serve as a good meeting place for us all:

Hello All,

Mark your calendars for CAFE's 7th Annual Motori Italiani - A
Celebration of Italian Motoring!

Saturday, April 20th

No, you're not imagining things... we are back a few weeks from normal
this year. Traditionally, we aim to host the event the last Saturday
of March, but that will be Easter weekend. Also, scheduling conflicts
won't allow for the 6th or the 13th.

So, that puts us on the 20th with the 27th as our rain date, which we
WON'T need this year, right!?!?

The call for entries and more info will come as we get closer to the event.

We look forward to seeing you all in April!
