Oh,please,broadcast the next vid of this little jewel!! Thanks,and greetings from Palafolls,Catalunya!!*!!✌️😉

the brake calipers are not the same as your 124 spider, but 124 spider brakes will bolt on.

that is a voltage regulator, the little black box. i just bought a fiat 850 spider , that i found in a junk yard. its allthere but the floors are rusted out. i dont know what i am going to do with it , but i just could not walk away from it, , , , it followed me home.....

[@dennisjump8655]

The rear floor that ' looks ' like the crossmember passes through is actually a separate panel. It sits on top of the floor pan and the crossmember is attached to the floor. Three pieces. They typically rot together. I closed all my drain holes as they don't seem to help and since these cars are notorious for rusting out the pans, I figured they might be doing more harm than good.

I have come to learn this as I have been further working on the car. You are definitely right though! I will be plugging mine also. Thanks for the comment!

Nice! How do you fit in that car? Looks like Fiat Yoga, 😂

[@GarageTimeTV]

I do surprisingly. I’m 6’5” but I make it work! I can shift and manage the clutch no problem.

[@YogisGarage]

@@GarageTimeTV Holy crap! You make any car look tiny.

[@GarageTimeTV]

@@YogisGarage lol yes... yes I do. When I meet you soon you’ll see in person 😂

The steering wheel looks like it may be from a later model 72 or 73.

[@GarageTimeTV]

What was the difference?

[@tweakyfurball4452]

so my 1973 850 spider has a wire attached to the seat anyone know what that might be for and how to remove it

[@GarageTimeTV]

It’s probably a seat belt warning light connection. Check to see if it has power to it, and if not you can cap it off.

@GarageTimeTV okay thank you
