The Fiat 850 Project

The Fiat 850 Project is a chronicle of the restoration process of a 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider. As a complete novice I will attempt to take this car from a "Ran When Parked" state to a fully drivable state. At the end of this process I will drive the car on a 800 mile round trip road trip to Nashville, TN. I will use a combination of my images and images and tables found on the internet while I was doing research. If you own one of the images, please let me know and I will credit you or take it down.
