Re: TORRINO
Than it was a transmission swap.
I had to cut out this much metal to make it fit.
Some places had to have a sledgehammer treatment .
I made a couple of spacers to lower the back of trany a little bit.

Re: TORRINO
Then I found a brand new 1976 toolbox with its original tag.
I had f few Italian badges around my garage , so I got them all and screwed them to the toolbox.

Re: TORRINO
Very nice! Do you have any issues with your header being wrapped? I was contemplating doing the same thing to lower my under hood temperature.

Re: TORRINO
As you can see where is no visible wires , all of them are hidden under the fenders
All relays were moved to one location and I'll build some kind of cover for them later

Re: TORRINO
Hi Gene,
I have an owner's manual for a Special T which I thought would help me get to know my Spider but apart from the very valuable info that the green light on dash means headlights are on , its not much help (that green light had me worried about pressures and temperatures for about 20 miles !) Of course if you just happen to have a Spider manual to swap I'd be very pleased !
Do you need the manual ?
Cheers
Nick
