75 spider owner Davenport IA

Post by Integrale »

Not new to FIAT products, but new to the Spider. Had a 77 X1/9 in high school, wrecked it while at college, due to bad brakes. Purchased a 76 Lancia Scorpion 18 years ago, got rid of it due to lifestyle change. Got involved with a group of guys to build a 24 Hours of Lemons race car, in the search for a race candidate, I started looking at FIAT's again as a side project. Picked up a 75 Spider with a nice set of Exip wheels, unfortunately everything else is pretty rough. Current plans:
-Convert to FI with Holley 2 barrel Sniper EFI
-Completely gut wiring harness and replace with Coach Controls roadster 18 wiring harness.
-Bosch 90A alternator converted to run with B&C Specialty linear voltage regulator.
-Gear Reduction Starter
-Ferrari 250 Dash
-Fix rust
-Paint
-Have seats from a 2008 Mini Cooper S, hopefully I can get them to work

I grew up in Davenport and bought my first spider from the dealer on 23rd Ave in Moline Ill.

Hi
and welcome to the forum and the Spider world! Have you any pics to show? We are always interested in new member cars!

Iowa actually counts 65 cars in the worldwide Spider Register:

Is your car already listed? If not, it would be great to get the car data for it!

Good luck with your project! Let's keep us up to date!

Cheers Ralf
