So funny story, I am looking to purchase one of these down the street, which just so happens to be in an older ladies barn lol. The videos you make, and the time and energy it takes is so appreciated. I know that I have a great resource for when that time comes.
This is Rafael from Florida, I follow you in TH-cam, what tire and rims is in the car? You are a master, thank you for all you teaching, I just bought a1980 fiat spider 124 , 2000 with one owner, 84k miles , all original
Hello and welcome. Sounds like a nice car. The wheels come from Vickauto.com. The tires are Hankook 205×50-15s. Check out this video from Garage Time TV. He tries on every wheel for you. th-cam.com/video/A4yLz-nUfJE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OANizJsZkjpZR6Rt
I'm having some vapor lock on my 1981 spider when I'm on slow roads for too long, I wounder if replacing the old original exhaust manifold with that nice exhaust header might reduce some heat under the hood?
FWIW the "oh shit" bracket under the driveshaft is upside down. Doesn't matter much, just don't want ppl to think they need to turn theirs upside down.

Good for you. Send me an email eldestbuilds@gmail.com I have a folder full of all the repair manuals and such.
GREAT video. Really reminds me of basic jacking point(s), diff stuff, shaft pointers, etc..
Thanks for watching

Wrong side, fuel pump, floats and check ignition
