Hey, everyone! Just doing what all noobs should.
I don't currently own a Fiat, but I would love too so for the time being I'm just here to lurk and absorb all the information I can. I saw a listing for a '79 Spider 2000 ($750) close to me and the more I read, the more interested I became. I have yet to visit the Spider, but I intend to soon. I know it is running, but other than that I can not be too certain about anything.
The Spider interested me, A: Because it is cheap. ...and... B: Because I enjoy tinkering and maintaining my own vehicles. I realise a spider is not the most practical vehicle for the daily driver, but it is a unique and interesting vehicle.
I'm a college student currently without a car, and I'm just curious to whether or not anyone would recomend I buy a Spider. I travel roughly 25mi to school everyday and to work. I don't beat on my vehicles like others my age do, and I just use it to get from point A to point B.
So my question is: Could I rely on a Spider to get me to where I need to go for a while if I am willing to do the work on it? Or would you recomend I look elsewhere?
