got a running ‘77 Spider a few years ago and started the down rabbit hole of fixing the oil leaks with the car. Had the engine rebuilt after seeing how the crank and the cylinders look. And it’s been sitting due to work for too long. Currently rebuilding the suspension and brakes. Finding out that every step forward is a step back with most things I’m doing. Finally joined the group as I try to figure out the quirks of this car.
Happy motoring to all and watch them knuckles.
