Re: Hello From Tn
Hi John, welcome to the forum. You are going to have sooo much fun with your Spider. Is this your first Fiat? It is handy when you can find someone reasonably close to you to learn from and share the passion. If that's not the case where you are, don't hesitate to come to the forum for any questions, there are a lot of good people here with a wealth of knowledge and experience ready to help.

Re: Hello From Tn
Hello Johny, and Welcome!
Yep, those are original CD-3's, all right. These wheels were equipped with center caps, but most were lost or rusted away, and subsequent owners often ground off the mounting tabs when it came time to refinish. Yours have had this treatment, but they are still very cool!

Hey John,
I have had my 81 Spider for a few years but have not had time or money to work on it. Lately I have been doing some research on it and some basic tuning. I live in Knoxville and grew up in Kingsport, so I'm sure we aren't too far apart.
Good luck and enjoy your new toy!
