Hi from Western Washington
My names Allen and I am in the process of buying a 71' Fiat Sport from my aunt and uncle. The engine (as far as i know) needs to be rebuilt so i'm here to get as much help as possible. Thanks in advance for the help. =)

Re: Hi from Western Washington
Hi from north of you.
If your going to be re-doing a spider, this is the place to be. Huge amount of knowledge here,someone usually has a suggestion or 6 to make thing right.
I'm just starting to do a rebuild on a 72 spider,going to pull the engine this week.
A few metric tools and a bit of mechanical confidence,a manual helps, and the engine is relativily sraight forward. Parts are available from several vendors.
Good luck and have fun

Re: Hi from Western Washington
Hi Bigred, how's it going with the engine? What part of western Washington are you in? I was just up as far as Tacoma this last week visiting friends and family after the Oregon 09 camping trip. I'm from Seattle and Lake Stevens originally myself.
