UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 74 FIAT SPIDER. I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER SINCE 1992. VEHICLE IS IN OVERALL GOOD SHAPE, BODY CONDITION FAIR. THE PAINT IS SHINY BUT HAS SOME SMALL RUST SPOTS ALONG THE REAR WHEEL WELLS AND DOORS. ALSO THERE IS A RUST SPOT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR BOARD ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE OUTSIDE..ALSO THE RIGHT FRONT LOWER VALANCE HAS SOME CRACKS IN THE PAINT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE PICS OF THE BODY ISSUES I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU...... AND NOW FOR THE GOOD... I HAVE BASICALLY GONE THROUGH THIS CAR AND METICULOUSLY RESTORED THE CAR FROM THE GROUND UP.1ST THING IS THE ENGINE, BACK IN 05 I REMOVED THE 1800 CARBURATED ENGINE AND REPLACED IT WITH THE 2000 FI ENGINE.... YES THE 74 IS FUEL INJECTED....I INSTALLED THE FI WIRING HARNESS AND COMPUTER AND ALL ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS AS WOULD BE FOUND ON AN 83 SPIDER. THE ENGINE HAS ABOUT 35K ON IT. WITH A NEW TIMING BELT INSTALLED LESS THEN 10K MILE AGO. ENGINE RUNS STRONG.... NOW LETS MOVE TO THE INTERIOR I REMOVED THE REAR SEAT AND REPLACED IT WITH THE 83 PARCEL SHELF, THE SEATS WERE REDONE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO AND ARE STILL IN GREAT SHAPE.. I PAINTED THE DASH WOOD PEICES TO GIVE IT A STAINLESS EFFECT( I HAVE A COMPLETE WOOD DASH KIT AND BACK SEAT IF YOU WANTED TO GO BACK TO ORIGINAL THEY WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE CAR). DOOR PANELS ARE NEAR PERFECT. ALSO UPGRADED THE WHEELS AND TIRES, AGAIN FROM THE SAME 83 SPIDER, 14" TURBO WHEELS.. BASICALLY WHAT I HAVE DONE IS UPGRADED THE SPIDER TO AN 83 WITHOUT LOSING THE LOOK OF THE EARLY SPIDER WITH THE CHROME BUMBERS AND REAR LIGHTING, WHICH I FEEL GAVE THE CAR A MUCH NICER LOOK . IT IS GOING TO BE HARD FOR ME TO PART WITH MY BABY, I HAVE DONE EVERY REPAIR AND UPGRADE TO IT. BUT STARTED ANOTHER PROJECT AND NEED TO CLEAR GARAGE SPACE....THE CAR IS NOT PERFECT BUT IT IS VERY NICE. AND THE BODY CAN BE REPAIRED VERY EASLY. THE REST OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS RUST FREE AND SOLID. I HOPE I HAVE EXPLAINED THE CAR AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. I HOPE THE PICTURE SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. I ALSO HAVE MANY SPARE PARTS FOR THE CAR AND ALSO WILL BE INCLUDED . ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK.. OR CALL 973-968-9821..I ADDED SOME MORE PICTURES OF THE BODY
