Hi everyone...I joined a couple of months ago but failed to stop here and introduce myself. I have two cars, both 1980 FI. One for the most part is stock and in very nice condition and requires nothing more than Fix It Again Tony maintenance.

The other is one that I have been working diligently on for the past four months restoring. This project has been a ton of fun and has made me realize the importance of a "hobby", or just plain taking time out of life and doing something that brings sanity. Living in Wisconsin I found resources for parts locally are both limited, and people with mechanical knowledge on these cars are few and far between. Sooo....I took what mechanical ability God gave me and decided I would try and do as much as I could on my own. Like most people starting out with little knowledge, I turned to EBAY for parts. It didn't take long to figure out that the people on this forum are one BIG happy family and will go out of their way to help a fellow Fiat owner. This was a big help when it came down to looking for parts, most the time not only could I find the parts I needed....I would get technical support if needed, it cost me a lot less, and I new I would receive a part that was in good condition. A huge resource we have is Mark Allison, EVERYONE if you need parts try Mark first!!!! Wow, This guy came through on both new and used parts everytime I called him, with very fair prices.

To all of you that have helped me so far, thanks again! Everyone else, I look forward to the future.
Happy New Year all,
Bob
Oh yea, pictures...I was hoping I could post when the car was done, and the other was cleaned up.
