Hello, everyone. Just wanted to pop up and introduce myself. I live in NE Ohio and just picked up a 1977 124 Spider off FB Marketplace as a project. I’ve cut my teeth restoring and customizing old Japanese and European motorcycles as a hobby for about 10 years, so I see the Spider as a great next step up in difficulty (and hopefully fun). I really appreciate the posts I’ve reviewed so far and the general helpful nature of the members. Whenever I start a project I always seek out a forum, and the helpfulness of that group usually makes a big difference. So I’m looking forward to posting more here. Enough chit chat, here’s how she sat when I bought her:
She runs and drives, but could use a timing belt change and a general once-over. Lots of body work in my future for sure. Since I don’t know what’s under all that primer I’ll probably end up stripping it. Factory color was “selestic blue”, which I hate and is so unpopular there’s almost no pictures of it on the internet except this BaT auction:

I’m also super excited to sort through all the unlabeled trims pieces from the PO’s 4 included totes. /s
