New pictures,...original '79 2000

Post by wetminkey »

I have been on this forum long enough (geeze, not even a month), and seen enough pics of a number of other cars now, to know that my '79 2000 Pininfarina, "Spidey", is complete, and in exceptional shape, considering it's not been restored. It is also a rust free, Colorado car.
No, the car is not for sale, nor am I here to brag about it, but I'd sure like to offer it up for example pictures, if anyone needs them. I've been able to provide some photos of the interior and the floorboard set that covers the spare tire so far, and would be delighted to post pictures of any parts, or accessories, of the car that I already have, or can get to easily. I'd even take requests, since I need to replace shocks soon, and check the entire suspension system for road-ability.
I also have the original owner's manual and a copy of the factory shop manual, and it would be my pleasure to provide pics out of either of those to anyone in need.
I have a little Sony 8MP (great for sticking in tight spots) and a Canon 12MP (with a couple of lenses,...perfect for massive, detailed photos) and can email up to 10MB, which provides HUGE, detailed pictures of parts or regions of the car.
Everyone on this forum has been so helpful to me in the short period of time that I've been here, that I'd like to provide as much help as I can in return.
"A picture is worth a thousand words". If I can help anyone, please private message me on this forum! I'll try to get them to you ASAP.
Todd.

Mostly because the largest pics I can post are 600x480. They're tiny. I can email pics to members that are 3264x2448, or thereabouts! They have tremendous detail.
I have tons of pictures now of the interior torn down, the floorboards, underlayment, and the console off.
Somehow, I feel that 4uall would like to make fun at my attempt to help, but I'm unsure as to exactly what his post really means,...
bradartigue asks, so here's a bunch,...

I guess you should get to know me, read almost any of my posts or just ask. Not making fun of your post in the least :? It is a humorous pic of a guy crying. The reason is because I LOVE PICS (again see any post) so when you offered to provide pics I posted the pic. :| I will go out of my way to help anyone on this forum and I am grateful to those on here. Try not to take anything personally on here, if it was I would be extremely clear about it. 8)

Thanks, man!
Glad to hear this because I was hoping that was the case. You and I have posted back and forth a time or two, and I'd be rather disappointed otherwise!
All is good!
I'd like to be able to help as much as I can on this site, and I think that my Spider (and pictures of it) can benefit a lot of folks! And, 4uall, I'd like to be one of the other "most amazing people on this forum" (ha! ha!),...and your good friend too!
Thanks again,
Todd.

A little weird, but cool.
Now, lets help these other members out if we can,...
I'll assault y'all with more pics tomorrow after I upload them.
I'm still expecting some requests, if they'll help.

Todd, looks like your driver seat has the gangsta lean. Meaning the seat back frame is broken. Search the forum on how to repair, or someone might have one for sale in the "for sale" section.

It does, at that. I will search for the repair steps. A good friend of mine, just up the road, is retired and welds quite well. I hope to have him fix it for me, thanks!
And BTW, love that hair, PininF!

Silver and red - one of the more classic combinations and pretty rare.

Thanks for posting the pics; original cars are hard to find
