the paint job is a 20 footer.... interior needs work...got no stereo... .. BUT THE LIST IS DONE.... over the past year and a half i have scrimped and saved and ordered parts with money that should have been spent on food..i have cursed, drawn blood more than i care to admit and yes even cried..... the list is extensive.... mostly reliabillity and safety issues... very little bling.... lots of "while i was in there" finding other things that needed to be addressed.... AND HOPEFULLY WITHOUT JINXING MYSELF... i , with the ordering of Marks overflow bottle, have gotten the car to a maintenance only needed daily driver... it has been my daily driver from the day i bought it.... i have had periods of having to ride my bike while saving and or waiting for parts.... it has been and will continue to be an adventure... as with any car love affair
I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU
thanks to this site and all who share.... your patience and guidance and selflessness sharing of information is invaluable.... i brag on all of you often
Matt
THE JINX.... and the thank you

congrats! let's see the pics!
I'm only weeks behind you. and you and I are only 4 hours apart. we should plan a Moab run, or something.

Another Spider might push me over the edge to try it.

I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!
