Two batteries later… 🪫 🪫 made a dent. And the little old car is so purdy. 🚙

@chris

MG? In your yard? Why tho?

@KimberlyN Fiat. My mom bought it in the early 80s. It may or may not become a project to turn into an EV. It doesn’t currently run. It will either be an EV or a cube of recyclable steel.

@chris

It’s very pretty. Hopefully it’ll have a new life as an EV. Would be a shame to send it to the crusher.

@chris fiat spider 2000? My dad had a red one… it was a lot of fun to drive.
@Youens 1976 Spider 124 it actually has a rebuilt 1980 engine but it’s been a long time since it has run well.
@chris the first time my now wife met my mother, the fiat broke down on our way to visit, when we stopped to pick up a gift. My then girlfriend had to push the car while I tried to start it. It worked, and the visit went well. #keeper

If you need help getting rid of deep rooted weeds like dandelions, I highly recommend a water weeder. Our yard was loaded with weeds a couple of years ago. Now? We rarely see them. And it’s easy to use too. Win-win. Can’t help ya with the mowing though. 😀
