I am a new Fiat owner, but avid car restoration enthusiast.
Most of the restoration work I have done in the past has been old British cars - Austin-Healeys, Land Rovers, and Jaguars. I currently have a 1962 Mark 2 and a 1958 Mark IX in the garage. I recently acquired a fuel injected 1980 Spider from a co-worker who wanted it cleared out of his garage.
It has sat idle for at least the last 9 years, so it is going to be a bit of work to awaken this car properly. Just starting in on the fun!

Welcome! I've played with a couple old Jags myself, in addition to my current '93 XJ6. Fiats are much, much lighter as I'm sure you've figured out!

Re: Hello from Redmond, WA (1980 Spider)
Belated welcome from up north of you..
My 82 sat for 5 years before I bought it. It was in very good condition and didn't suffer any ill effects from the hiatus. I drove it home 80 miles and have had it 15 years and am just now doing any major work on it.
Hope yours is doing well also.
