Hello,
When I was a kid in Puerto Rico, my neighbor had a Fiat that rusted badly with all the daily ocean salt breeze. Now that I live in Atlanta, I have the benefit of owning the same car but with half the rust. Benefits of a dry climate.
Learned a lot from this Board in the last couple of years but just registered some days ago. Thanks for all the help.

Re: Hola from Atlanta via Puerto Rico
Thanks.
I got the seats from Craigslist and I think they came from a pickup truck. They are much larger than the regular seats but very confortable. I had to add some new rails in order to make them fit but it was not a big deal since the footprint was similar to the originals. They are also tall but the top clears them with no problems.
I got the front bumpers from a VW Ghia a while back. A couple of months ago, I saw the front cover of the IAP catalog and liked the look, so they went in instead of the blocks.

Welcome - nice car and good web site. With those bumperlettes, at least you won't be crashing into your garage walls, like some people we know
