Post by RockySpider83 »

Hi all RockySpider83 here starting my restoration Log for everyone. you can see my intro at this link to get to know my 83 Pininfarina Spider Azzura called "Chikitita" It's best to look at this link first before looking at my project list.
http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic ... 13&t=13164 there are 2 posts the first one and a responce 7 replys down read both.
--> So here are the updates. I need to first just get everything working so I have a car to drive around as I save up money and buy parts for the restoration. So I took her to my father-in-law who is a car restorator.

[[[This week March 20-26 2011]]]
1 new Masterflow muffler & exhuast $40 dollars (yeah we have a connection)
[[Changed all old wireing in the interior of car, oiled and added freon to the a/c unit (It's Cold now!!! like a penguins tush!!!)
added under the dash lights so when I open the doors I can see the floor area), cleaned a lubed the electric motors for the power windows, and fixed the electric trunk release, replaced all worn fuses, and rebuilt the motor for the windshield wiper sprayers) all for $104.00 dollars)]]

Sweet! Welcome to the forum! If you don't know the history of the car. The timing belt is the first thing to take care of. You are in Mexico? I suppose the closest vendors are in Dallas. Autoricambi and Vicks are both there.
1978 Spyder 1800 make that 2L! Finally making real progress!
