Thanks DRUMMOND and familyman for your comments. It is nice to know that posting here are apriciated and i have have been following other threads with great interrest.

One thing i have learned during this restoration prossess is that everything takes a lot longer time than first expected. I am still waiting for my spider to return from paint shop. Hopefully i can pick it up tomorrow ! I know they have done a great work, prepping and sanding the car. Meanwhile i have been sorting out parts and i made a polishing machine for the stainless steel framework. Here a some photos.








Car finished prepped before Paint !





I also have to make a comment about the weather, we been having sunny weather for two months !!!!! Thats never happend before in Norway.

Hi royn

That is some heavy duty polishing machine!!

Picked up the car from the paint shop today and i am very happy with the job ! The doors and hood are ready too, but do to limited space in the car i get them next week. The color is Rosso Corsa.

Nice!

Looking good. I really like the silver trim on the wheels. It sets the black off from the red perfectly.

joelittel, i think the wheels are a good match to the red color too. The silver trim on the wheels hopefully will be nice together with other chrome parts.

I got the rest of the painted parts today.






Windshield and cab frame installed

Rear bumpers and lights installed. I wanted to keep the original License plate light. I installed the early License plate lights in the bumpers just as an end cover.

Beautiful, royn!
Gosh. What a nice shop, equipment, and stands,...

Agreed. I think most of us enjoy the garage as much as the car!

If you want to see some beautiful scenery, check out Fall, Norway on Google Maps!

Thanks for your comments, The garage is just a small shed by the way, it just fit the Spider !

I feel inspired and keep on working

[quote="royn"]Some more updates. I have installed front suspension and brakes. I had to change the bushings in both upper and lower Control arms.
I used Vogtland lowering springs, front and rear.



Where have you bought those lowering springs?

Hi QuebecFiatSpider,
I got the lowering springs from Germany. I bought a complete set with springs and shocks. The shocks seem to be made in Italy and are oil filled.

Some more updates, grill and front fender.

Just curious, have you bought a replacement carpet kit for your spider? If yes to whom you decided to buy from?

When you say you bought your springs in Germany, did you buy them from «SpiderPoint»
