"Itsy Bitsy Spider" i.e. Fiat 1500

#1 Post by Andreas » Thu Feb 20, 2014 9:34 am

Ok, let’s make it official; I’m an AUTOholic, at least when it comes to vintage stuff in need of rescue. Thus it’s hardly a surprise I just couldn’t say no to this little spider when it appeared for sale on http://www.classicdigest.com. I was sold and so was the spider!

To follow the revival of the dear old spider go to:

I'll try to update the story as often as I can.

Cheers!

Welcome indeed! Any pics of the vintage stuff you've worked on?

And more pics of the Spider please!

Cheers :D
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Vintage is a term applied to any car made before 1930. Technically no vintage cars there but every car on your link is very cool :)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
