New from Charlotte, NC
Just picked up a 1978 Spider after way too long looking for a fun weekend project car. Finally have a car to be really exited about. It came to me with a rebuild engine with higher compression pistons, mild cams, weber carb, and petronics electronic ignition. I got the car on Monday and haven't touched my daily since. Its an absolute joy to drive and I can't wait to bloody some knuckles working down my ever-growing punch list and really making this car mine.

Previous owner was telling me about them. Not too far from my house, so they're definitely where I'll turn when I inevitably bite off more than I can chew.
