124 Spider (Classic) New to this forum - Hi All!

[RBryan1975]

Hi All,

New to the forum. Looking forward to all the information this place has! This 1975 is my 2nd Fiat. My first was 30 years ago, a 1972, that I literally lost along the way - funny story of my youth. Anyway, this one is going to be fun in a whole new way. I get to do all the stuff I only dreamed of doing 30 years ago. Already was able to renew the front/rear suspension, put in lowering springs and shocks, short shifter, new heater core, new water pump, 95 amp alt. PO had new Weber carb, electronic ignition and magnaflo exhaust installed. Runs great!

Working through the electrical now, but hard to find good wiring diagram that actually resembles whats in mine... Anyway, diving in to the search for info on engine compartment relays and the associated wiring...

See you around!
Roy

Hey Roy!

I'm on my very first Fiat (and car)! It's a 1974 124 Spider (1800). I'm planning on removing those massive bumpers they have and I was also interested in bringing the ride height back down like you did. What sort of spring/shocks did you put in? I'm super new and know the very basics around these cars but am keen and interested to learn! Anything helps,

Thanks,
Levi
