1979 Fiat Spider, from Quebec Canada

Post by ari »

Hello,
I've been silently following this forum for quite some time now and i've learned alot in terms of repairs, maintenance and quick fixes of Spider bugs. You guys have all been quite helpful. I've had this car for 2 years now and she's structurally solid in terms of its restoration from 2003 and its mechanics. There aren't many in circulation up here in the north so she's quite the eye-turner. Basically i've made cosmetic improvements especially in the engine compartment after the previous owner dressed up the whole engine with the contents of a flat black spray can. Each component was removed and detailed. The cam covers were polished individually by hand to look like chrome as well as the brake calipers, so anyone who attempted that understands the effort involved. Not much more to say.

Hello and Bienvenue!

It seems like all of the Spiders from Canada are gorgeous; maybe the short driving season gives you more time to work on your cars :)

I've been to the more industrial parts of Canada many times, but after seeing some beautiful photos of Quebec at Christmastime, we're planning a trip this year to visit from the Frontenac in December. (Not taking the Spider!)

Several members from Montreal inhabit this forum, but you're the first I've seen from Quebec. I wonder who the northernmost FiatSpider.com member is in North America? Probably somebody out West.

Hi Ari,welcome. You are right in saying this is a wonderfull forum for help in getting/keeping these cars sorted.
Your car looks great...red, what a great colour :P
Many of your Quebec compatriots out this way at the moment (fruit picking season) none have a fiat though.
