True Classic
When I acquired my 1973 Sport Spider 850 project in April out of Illinois, I was also able to purchase a 1969 parts car and a stash of extra Fiat parts from northern Ohio. I couldn't get all of the parts at that time, but this morning I was finally able to get the rest of the parts (another complete engine and transmission and front suspension for the Spider, and a bunch of other rear-engined Fiat parts that I will need help identifying). So, I thought I'd start a thread here to post pics as I clean the different items and try to identify them. I'll try to do my best internet sleuthing to pre-identify stuff, but your help is appreciated, too.
For now, I need to hang on to the Spider-useful spares, as I will be working to get the 1973 back in running condition over the Winter. But the seller said he used to have a few Fiats back in the day, and some of this stuff is likely Sport Coupe or other Fiat specific and won't be of help to me - but might to someone else.
Thanks for helping and playing along. I'll create individual posts for specific items, but here are a couple of pictures of what we hauled back this morning. There are a couple of engine lids in here (the blue one is a little bent, but the red one is in good condition - these might be from an 850 sport coupe...more detailed pics of those will follow), a couple of doors (not for the Spider), a couple of bumpers (not sure for what), radiators, flywheels, cranks, cylinder heads and more.
