Hello Beek, welcome to the forum. Please post pictures of your '77 Spider. The forum loves pictures. Looking forward to the buildups as well; the Scorpion is a special car.

BTW, feel free to post your parts for sale the appropriate section.

Welcome to the site! Oh yes we do love parts and I would love to see a built up Spider. I will be doing one of those one day as well. We have a great track here in town just a short drive from the other Fiat folks in your area and a group of Fiats rolling around the track would be a pretty nice picture.

Welcome BEEK. There is a gentleman in Jacksonville with a similar sickness, errr, I mean, passion :P :D . He used to work as a FIAT tech years ago. I had an opportunity of meeting him when I was searching for my first Spider.

In this photo you can see the hood of Don's Scorpion. Wish I had taken photos of that car. Pretty cool and not something you see on the road. And a pretty cool and knowledgeable guy.

We definitely have to organize a get together soon.

A few photos I found of a Scorpion... definitely don't see that often on the road.

Hi Beek, welcome to the forum.
Hey, you've just given me an idea of what I can use my box van for!
