Hi Everyone
New to this!!!! On the brink of buying a spyder. Have done a few rebuilds in the past mainly on alfa's and fiats but have always been keen on the spyder so fingers crossed. Sure I am gonna need some advice at some stage catch ya's later.

Cheers

Bought my first Lancia in April. It is a spider and I am delighted with it. Had to do a good few mechanical repairs, but once I got started, it was easy to work on. Biggest job was replacing the sump gasket which involved four jacks! Took about 3 hours in total and to do it, I ignored the Haynes manual and went with my own logic. Anyway, the leak has stopped and the car will be finally heading out into the big bad world this week.
The help I got from the good folks on this forum deserves a big thanks to all and it wouldn't be ready without them so all I can say is "THANKS!"
Enjoy your purchase and keep us updated.

I have bought the spyder and its shortly on its way to the dock for shipment. Once I get it over here gonna get it road legal for the summer then do the complete rebuild. I have posted a couple of pics that my brother took in the gallery.

Cheers
