did u have them design that for you. i just looked and i never seen fiat any place on there site / let me know .thanks

[Italchic]

Yes, he actually custom designed two logos for me, the vintage one you see here, and the new modern one. As far as the liner itself, I sent him a paper template. Now that he has it I suppose he can make more. For those who have them, I don't know what hood bulges might do to the fit though.

Well here is mine, bought the car last November. It is slowly coming along. I am cleaning and painting things as they are refurbished and addressed.



And a little minor bling: I took the "PININFARINA SPIDER 2000" emblem off the glove box door to newly veneer the door, and decided to cut off the "SPIDER 2000" portion and put it on the Throttle Plate Heater after repainting. Used a little DS tape, remains to be seen if it will withstand the heat. Also painted the FIAT portion of the intake manifold plenum cover in red.

Just finished front seals, timing belt, tensioner and water pump.




What a difference in looks and running.

I have a 69 124 spider 1438cc. I ordered a rubber trim piece that is just in front of the cowl inside the engine compartment. I ordered it from IAP and it is such a thick piece I can't get my hood close if I were to install it. Anyone had this issue and if so what do you recommend?

That is an interesting way of mounting the aftermarket "V" wedge type windshield washer bottle. Wish I would have figured that our before mine bounced out and was sliced open by the alternator pulley! I ended up with one from J.C.Whitney that comes complete with a better bracket, pump, plastic lines and generic spray heads - but I needed to use the IAP replacement spray heads.

(Interesting how the original washer tank design puts the washer pump motor in such a low and confined position that, if the car was ever in a situation where you NEEDED the washers, the pump was almost certain to collect enough water, sand,leaves, etc. that - unless one knew to continually clean that "invisible" area - the pump would soon rust to pieces!
