1980 Fiat Spider 2000

[Mastasmash]

I recently just purchased a 1980 Fiat Spider 2000 off a guy that was trying to sell it as a parts car, luckily no one in my area is into the Fiat stuff so it still had the parts that really mattered. Currently it needs a bit of TLC, the passenger side rear quarter panel/fender had some rust eat it out, but nothing a little patchwork can't fix. The interior is completely messed up so I will be replacing the carpet and all the seats. I want to do some modifications like swapping in a V8 but I don't know too much about what that would entail so right now my focus is on getting the existing Fiat 4 Cylinder to crank and run to become reliable enough to drive places, and to get the body and interior fixed up. I also am going to need to replace the convertible top. Not bad for $300 though, I have definitely seen much worse.
