1979 FIAT SPYDER 2000 5 SPEED, 63,000 MILES, ALL ORIGIONAL 1 OWNER WITH SERVICE RECORDS AT FIAT REPAIR SHOP, RUNS FINE,INTERIORS SHOWS SOME WEAR DUE TO AGE, VINIL SEATS, TONEAUCOVER FOR TOP, TOP IS NEWER, NO RUST IN THE FLOOR PANS, INSULATION JUST ADEDED. ALL GAUGES WORK, CLOCK WORKS BUT THE PLASTIC LENS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, ITS FOGGY. OUTSIDE BODY NEEDS WORK IN 2 MAJOR PLACES, AND MINOR STUFF, BUMBER OVERRIDERS NEED TO BE REMOVE AND RE ADJUSTED, I WOULD TOUCH UP THE PAINT AND TREAT IT AS A 10 FT DRIVER, BUT ITS A GREAT CAR FOR FULL RESORATION.this was my plan that didn't happen new job and relocating.
STARTS AND RUNS FINE, PARKED IT ALL WINTER NO OIL LEAKS,STEERING NEEDS AN ADJUSTMENT, OR COULD BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS SQUEEK FROM SITTING.NEEDS A VALUE ADJUSTMENT TUNE UP, IN MY OPINION. I WOULD ALSO SWAP OUT THE WEBER FOR THE 34D WEBBER LARGER PORTS TO GET MORE GAS.YOU CAN HEAR MAIN BEARING NOISE WHICH IS PRETTY COMMON. A NEW 15 SPOKE AND WHEEL/TIRE SET UP WOULD DO WONDERS FROM THE STOCK 13'S.NEEDS WEATHERSTRIPPING ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASS DOOR CARDS, ELECTRICAL WORK NEEDS TO GONE THRU, AGAIN COMMON FAULT.
YOU CAN PICK EVERYTHING APART IF YOU WISH OR JUST FALL IN LOVE WITH PINANDFARINA BODY DESIGN. DROP THE TOP AND HAVE FUN, AND REALIZE THAT LIKE ALL WOMEN THIS FINE DESIGN NEEDS CONSTANT ATTENTION. YOU CANT HAVE FUN ALL THE TIME.
