The Family Spider is finally getting a second life!

hey all,

I don't post on here too much but my dad owns a '79 Spider 2000 that I drive all the time and is dear to my heart, and I'm proud to say it's finally getting a (semi)complete restoration before this summer gets going!

As of now rust is being cut away, but soon it will also have a working heater, working rear lights, and a roof! (had none of those the last five years)

feel free to post if you've got any other ideas about what should be fixed

can't wait to see how it turns out. I'll assume the mechanicals are good

Amazingly yes, it's been running like a champ and always starts, even when coming out of winterization. amazing.

Wow, you're really taking on a big project. Are you doing the bodywork? Make sure you treat the underside of your welds so you don't get rust coming back and good luck!

Don't forget to change the timing belt and all rubber under the hood! You are at the right place! good luck!
