Ooo, that Spider is very pretty!Love the color on it, and it’s an earlier one with the more shapely rear end too! :)

Yup... like a beautiful stripper that is only too willing to suck your wallet dry while looking very pretty for you.

Nice! That Fiat looks just like that rough and rusty one near me that will be hauled off soon for a restoration. So that’s what it used to look like, except white.

That Jag also looks like a very early one. Very interesting and probably very rare car in that condition.

Eh, I wouldn’t say so....they’re not the best rustproofed, but old FIATs aren’t as unreliable as people like to make them out to be....not saying they are reliable, but I wouldn’t say that much different than other classic cars!

Old FIAT parts are easy to get and pretty cheap! Plus they are easy to work on!

Yup, part of the reason I want to import a FIAT 126p! FIAT 500 underpinnings so you get the driving characteristics and the charm of the 500's little air-cooled Inline-2...but cheaper because the 500's pretty body lines mean it’s valued a lot more than the 126's chunkier 70's style.

They are incredibly simple to work on, and parts are also hilariously cheap, especially if you can get them (and the cars!) from Poland. I mean...the exchange rate from CANADIAN to the Polish Zloty is like $1.00 CAD = 3 zloty atm, so like $1.00 USD is probably like 4 zloty...lol.

Oooo, VERY nice! I’m weird and prefer the 850 ‘sedan’ to the 850 Coupe or Spider...

...but I still love the Spider! I require more updates on yours when you get around to working on it! :D
