There are some like it, but this one is mine.

The "WEDGE" likes its retirement in Florida.

1500cc, no engine modifications except the AC was taken out.

Complete suspnesion was reworked, new water pump, belts and CD player was added.

I gave up on the speedometer cable.

08-17-2009.  My Fiat in front of my new Office in Melbourne, FL.  Today, on my way home, I developed a leak from the rear driver's side brake caliper.  I almost bought the farm from not stopping in time.  Now the fun of fixing...

08-18-2009 - The driver's side brake hose rubbed against my tire and caused the leak.  Easy enough to fix, just waiting on the part to ship here.

The Wedge looks very nice. Too bad mine doesn't look that good. I almost got it going reliable and now it overheated and there is a bad coolant leak. If it is a head gasket, it could be the end of it. :-/ Its two years of parts and work and barely 50 miles running. Let me see if I get my "devotion" back up. :)

So nice of you to comment on my "77. It's been a great summer. I lost the clutch a year ago and didn't get it fixed until May, but now it's running fine. I realized it was the first time it was towed 32 years! pretty good for an old Fiat. Love your car, I thought they added everything that was missing from my "77 by "81. Like a 5th gear! Thank again.
