Bought the car originally for $100 like this:

Using Miata seats that I fabbed up mounts for.

Very nice, thank you for posting-----maybe I can have the kick in the pants I need to get started on my project now!!! It is a 1977 1800 in about the same shape as what you started with. BTW---did you do anything to the motor, like replace it, or leave it original?

Sorry for taking so long to get back here. I originally left the engine original, but when it came time to replace teh timing belt, I couldn't get the lower pulley off with ANY known technique. It ended up easier to replace the engine with one from a fellow Fiat club member.
