Couple months ago I found 4 NOS Spider hubcaps on Ebay. Only $40 bucks I couldn't resist. I knew they originally had grey paint in the center and in the indents. You never see them like that anymore the grey paint wears right off. The PO had the wheels painted body color but the wheels weren't prepped right and the paint was flaking off. I found a local powder coater who had a yellow pretty close to my color. Its off a shade or two but works fine. Now my wheels are pretty spiffy.
Got a bunch of old hubcaps. Anybody need a few just PM me.
I'm still looking for an original Fiat reversable wood handled screwdriver to complete my tool kit. If you got an extra one around I'd be interested.

Re: Showing Off
Hey Doug, that really looks good! I meant to get with you on the wood handled screwdriver. It seems none of my kits have one. They've either been replaced with a plastic handled screwdriver or just don't have one in them at all.

Re: Showing Off
Ah, thanks for the motivation. It's minus a million here today and I needed a small job I could do indoors. I've been meaning to restore this screwdriver for years, after its handle split. Now, what am I offered?
Just kidding - it's not for sale.

Re: Showing Off
Yes I do like the look of color coded stock and chrome. That's what I have currently and it looks good. I am currently re-finishing some Panasports though, upgrading!
1978 Spyder 1800 make that 2L! Finally making real progress!
Re: Showing Off
Not fair Peter, dangling that think in front of me.
Tulsa, I like the look of yours too, but those Panasports (and Rotas) are tempting.
