Just negotiate my first Spider purchase
Just negotiate my first Spider purchase
After several years of kicking tires, found my first spider.
1981 with CD134 wheels. (I still have the CD19 rims I bought last year)
Clean low mileage car that will require a respray. Looks rust free and was rust proofed when new. 2nd owner replaced all rubber things, bushings.
Comes with a second set of rims.
I plan to re trim the seats in leather.
Selling my low milage 79 X1/9. 10k original rust free car. Trying for $10k. Nero black with respray.

Re: Just negotiate my first Spider purchase
I covet the leather covered consoles and trim on the dash. I bet you have the sewn arm rests too.

Re: Just negotiate my first Spider purchase
This should be a fun summer project.
I'd like to have the respray done by the end of May. If required, trim within a couple weeks after.
Any recommendations on paint prep and respray, would like to just seal and reaspray with good two component paint. I want to keep the stock luster versus the 2" thick clear coat look.
Steering wheel also needs rewrap... Anyone know who mfg the steering wheels for spider?

Re: Just negotiate my first Spider purchase
More images of interior please. Especially the door pulls.
Re: Just negotiate my first Spider purchase
Are you staying with the stock color or going with something different?
The body looks good and the wheels look great to. Good luck!
