let me know what yyou guys think and any ideas or information you have for me on certain areas of the car, Im new to this vehicle and know hardly anything about it.


Here she is guys! She is a beaut!


Trunk isnt doing to well :/


Either is the underside of the hood..


Engine is in great shape though. Beside the idle running a little high there doesnt seem to be too many problems at first look.


Dash is relatively alright. Cracking in a few places though. The clock is fogged out super bad but thats easy to replace.


Another dash pic.


General inside


Another front pic


Trunk doesnt seem to be the original and there are some weld points on the rear bumper which leads me to believe it has been hit from behind.


And thats the top. Cracking all over and very very very brittle. :/

it looks like a nice 78 car pull up the carpet behind the dr seat and look for rust
also the inside of front fenders look at the shock towers
did i see AC you lucky guy?
theres new caps for the dash
our moderator sells some great parts at his site
also theres autoricrombi ,vickautosports and international auto parts
guy croft has great info on building up a spider
and artigue.com has all the tec info

hope this helps

as for the paint you can take it to any paint shop and have it buffed out

Thanks yeah. i really enjoy it. I will definitely look at the towers and under the dr seat.
and yes, there is AC
im going to have to replace the entire dash cause it is cracking and all kinds of nasty stuff :/
and thanks for the references. much appreciated!
i already pulled a wiring a diagram from artigue which is quite helpful. only reason that i got the car running. wiring was messed up somewhat so i fixed that and the carb and got her purrin.
