I think he bought it in the early 80's and we grew up with it...He gave it to me as a college grad gift. Its a beige spider, I'll be sure to post some pics as we work on it. I'm in the Atlanta area.

We just had our annual Italian Car Day in Duluth a couple weeks ago. Maybe your car will be ready next year so you can meet some of us.

Welcome. I am also in the Atlanta area as well as a couple other guys. I drive mine every day. After you get it in runing condition, a Fiat 124 is a very dependable car.

Welcome,
There are a number of us in the Atlanta area, so if you ever need some help, don't hesitate to ask. We are planning to put together a Georgia drive soon, so stay tuned to the forum and if you have your Spider in working order, you can join the group and meet a bunch of fellow fanatics!
