I purchased a 79 Spider 2000 a few months ago and have begun restoration. I live in Seattle and the weather has not yet cleared from the winter, so only minimal work has been done thus far. To date I have replaced all belts and fluids. The carpet has been replaced and all rust has been sanded away to minimize continuation. I have been checking this forum for the past few months learning many useful tips and decided it was time to become an actual member. I look forward to posting dicusion points with the rest of you moving forward.
Thanks,
Brandon

Re: New 79 Spider owner in Seattle
Crikey... thats about 4-5 new fiat people from the pacific north west. Perhaps not the best of year round top down weather but when it happens... no place like the coast(my opinion)
My early years were in Van BC
Wecome, no shortage of assistance and parts info here.
