Greetings from Alaska

[Akspider]

Just joined this forum - lots of great info here! I've a '72 Spider been refurbishing thru this summer and guess will be the winter project too. It's been sitting somewhat disassembled for 15 years - funny how masking tape labels fade or fall off in that amount of time! Be nice to get it back on the road next spring - pics to follow......

Thanks for the welcome - the Fiats been in the family for nearly 25 years tho not in use for probably 17. Cut out lots of rust have the body work done and painted now on to the interior, brakes and suspension (kinda backwards but didn't know how body was going to turn out) Unfortunately the original 1608 timing belt idler failed along with broken valves (can't stress changing belt and idler ) so have used engine and several parts from a '78 donor. Coming along but a ways to go. Will have to figure out how to post pics - enjoyed those of Drummond's restoration - gives me hope to have a driveable Spider next spring!
