I bought a 1981 Fiat Spider, runs good (except for a fuel vent issue that I'm learning about).
So far, I've installed a new Stereo (I'm a gadget geek). It's a Pioneer DEH-6400BT. Works good with my Android phone, I like the streaming Bluetooth music.
I also replaced the steering wheel. It's an Abarth one, so it's smaller. I'm not 100% sold on it yet, but I do like the looks.
My latest project is to replace the dashboard. I'll post pics tomorrow. It's a much bigger project than I anticipated, but it's a great learning experience. I am very open to suggestions, I plan on only doing a few things a month, not a one-time deal.
