This is my 1976 Fiat Spider. I bought it in April 2003 and spent most of that first year and a half restoring it. Below are pictures of what it ended up looking like two years (and much $$$) later.

I had the car repainted in the original dark blue color last spring (May 2004).

15" Exip rims - Rim choices for the Fiat are kinda limited because of the weird bolt pattern.

Restored interior. New seat upholstery, carpet, center console, dash, dash wood insets, gauge bezels, shift knob. Pretty much everything in the interior was replaced except for the seat frames and steering wheel.

Interesting Dash you have there. Only the later spiders had a single gage on the right.. and then it was in the centre, not up on top. Nice and subtle modification to get rid of the usual non-functional clocl.
